Debian Med suggestions for medical databases

Currently Debian Med does not yet contain any medical data like drug databases. We just provide a list of Free Software that might be used and which might be included into Debian at a later point in time provided somebody is willing to take over the packaging work.

Translate description

The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian Med Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian Med which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.

For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Med to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the Debian Med mailing list

Important note: The project seems to be dead and the domain drugref.org does not exist any more. Thanks to the GNU Savannah project the code was kept for the past but there is no guarantee at all that the project is of any use.

The aim to to allow the collaborative construction of a free, peer-reviewed pharmaceutical reference.

The primary motivation is to support the gnumed project -- a free software medical information system, but it may have other uses.

It will support logging and versioning of all data, changes made by contributors can be audited and reverted if necessary. The data can be peer-reviewed by several authorities, end-users can opt to have only data which is peer-reviewed.
