Abstract
Not a few biologists tend to consider wiki as a solution to manage and reorganize data by a community. However, in its basic functionality, wiki lacks a measure to check data consistency and is not suitable for a database. To circumvent this pitfall, installation of page dependency through in-line page searches is necessary. We also introduce two existing approaches that support in-line queries.
