Six open source examples were used to test the efficiency of these tools to create the desired solutions.
For example, PhotoAppLink, an open source initiative that aims to simplify photo editing by tying multiple photo-editing apps together.
OrChem [48], for example, is an open source extension for the Oracle 11G database that adds registration and indexing of chemical structures to support fast substructure and similarity searching.
ChEMBL is another example of an open source database and holds more than 600 000 interactions between proteins and small molecules (chemicals).
OpenNebula's monitoring system is not particularly novel but is one of the few examples of an open source monitoring system which is embedded within a cloud infrastructure.
As an example, Asana offers an open source Chrome extension for instantly creating a task from text on any web page.
An outstanding example of an open-source image informatics platform with very good usability is the most recently developed generalist image analysis platform Icy [ 134, 135].
Additionally, there is an open-source mapping software and data, for example in the ESRI sponsored crowd-sourced mapping (Medeiros, 2013).
For example, Apache, an open-source application, dominates the market for web-server software.For Sun, opening Solaris was a way to attract independent developers to the platform, which opens it up to innovation from a broader community.
For example IntAct, an open-source, open data molecular interaction database contains approximately 275 000 curated binary interactions extracted from over 5000 publications.
