The Brain Architecture Management System (BAMS) was designed and implemented by Dr. Mihail Bota under the supervision of Dr. Larry W. Swanson at the University of Southern California around 2002. At that time, the Semantic Web, RDF, and OWL ontologies were popular, and the BAMS team created a collaborative neuroinformatics database around these technologies. The researchers called for other researchers to contribute to the knowledgebase, but the academic incentive structure encourages h-index-boosting contributions to the journal literature rather than the collaborative construction of knowledgebases. Perhaps neuromythography will realize the collaboration vision that the BAMS team hoped for.
BAMS was used as a supplemental reference for entrance and exit projections in the Neuromythograph.
BAMS can be found here.
