The Online London Dysmorphology Database

Abstract

A prototype of the Online London Dysmorphology Database is now available for testing purposes. In this paper we describe the new online version of the London Dysmorphology Database (LDDB), which is accessible via the World-Wide Web. The system has been developed primarily to address the information lag associated with the stand-alone version of LDDB (currently 3–15 months) and therefore provides access to the latest data from the master database that resides on a web server. An additional benefit is that, because the Online LDDB is a web-based resource, it will be available to users of both Macintosh and Unix computers as well as PC users.
