Beside this contact and expertise database the LEP contains databases for lipid standards (Fig. 4) and for methods (Fig. 5), which should improve methodology and standard material exchange.

Currently, as one goal of the FP project LipidomicNet the Wikipedia software is being integrated into the LEP (LEP-Wiki, Fig. 6), which will provide information on lipids from basic information to advanced aspects like the biology and pathophysiology that lipids are involved in.
A major source for LEP-Wiki is a close link to other databases including LIPID MAPS (http://www.lipidmaps.org) for lipid nomenclature and lipid species data, Lipid Bank - Japan (http://www.lipidbank.jp) for lipid species data and KEGG PATHWAY Database for metabolic pathways (http://www.genome.jp/kegg/pathway.html). Moreover, information on lipid metabolic pathways will be linked to genomics information including databases like Ensembl (http://www.ensembl.org).
LEP-Wiki lives from the contribution of people interested in Lipidomics. All Lipidomics Expertise Platform (LEP) members can edit the content and add new data.
