Abstract
This paper describes the development strategies for an integrated tool to support scientists in the creative exploration of data relating to biochemical pathways. The multiple user groups, diverse functionalities, and many types and sources of data demanded a flexible yet coherent approach. This paper summarises the software requirements and the implied modules and functions, and focuses on the design decisions relevant to the representation, management and flow of data. Finally, several case studies in the use of the software are described and evaluated, and recommendations are made for future work.
