Quoting them directly: "Biocuration, the activity of organizing, representing and making biological information accessible to both humans and computers, has become an essential part of biological discovery and biomedical research. But curation increasingly lags behind data generation in funding, development and recognition." They warn that without proper attention to the role of curation, the massive amounts of data being generated in a range of biological sciences will be stranded and ultimately lost.
