Features include browsing, searching, and visualization of ontologies. Searching of integrated data resources is also possible through ontology-based indexing of biomedical resources with BioPortal ontologies. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2009.3868.1 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 11:30:09 UTC BioPortal: Ontologies and Integrated Data Resources at the Click of a Mouse doi:10.1038/npre.2009.3868.1 2009-10-16 Patricia L.

The life science community is certainly among the first adopters of Web Services. For example, Taverna, a workflow workbench that is popular within the life science community, provides access to over 3500 thousands web services that can be composed by scientists for constructing and enacting their in silico experiments. However, one of the main issues that hinders the wide adoption and use of Web Services is the difficulty in locating the “appropriate” Web Service, i.e., the Web Service that performs the analysis the scientist is interested in. The descriptions of available Web Services are often poor providing little information to the scientist about their usefulness for the analysis s/he is after. With the above issues in mind, the authors have recently initiated the BioCatalogue project (http://www.biocatalogue.org/). BioCatalogue provides a central registry of curated biological Web Services. A place where providers, users and expert curators can register, annotate and search for Web Services. It also acts as a place where the community can contact and meet the experts and maintainers of these services. The project is co-developed by the University of Manchester and the EMBL-EBI. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2009.3132.1 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 21:15:31 UTC BioCatalogue: A Curated Web Service Registry For The Life Science Community doi:10.1038/npre.2009.3132.1 2009-04-22 Franck Tanoh Nature Precedings 2009-04-22T21:15:31Z Poster Bioinformatics http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2009.3132.1 Web Services have gained a momentum as a means for packaging existing data and computational resources in a form that is amenable for use and composition by third party applications.

This task would be greatly simplified by embedding in the source, i.e. research articles, a standardized, synthetic, machine-readable codification for protein-protein interactions data description, to make the identification and the retrieval of such very valuable information easier, faster, and more reliable than now.We shortly discuss how this information can be easily encoded and embedded in research papers with the collaboration of authors and scientific publishers, and propose an online demonstrative tool that shows how to help and allow authors for the easy and fast conversion of such valuable biological data into an embeddable, accessible, computer-readable codification. http://precedings.nature.com/documents/2337/version/1 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 10:19:29 UTC Embedding machine-readable proteins interactions data in scientific articles for easy access and retrieval hdl:10101/npre.2008.2337.1 2008-10-01 Paolo Tieri Nature Precedings 2008-10-01T10:19:29Z Manuscript Bioinformatics http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ http://precedings.nature.com/documents/1486/version/1 The BioMoby project was initiated in 2001 from within the model organism database community. It aimed to standardize methodologies to facilitate information exchange and access to analytical resources, using a consensus driven approach. Six years later, the BioMoby development community is pleased to announce the release of the 1.0 version of the interoperability framework, registry API, and supporting Perl and Java code-bases. Together, these provide interoperable access to over 1400 bioinformatics resources worldwide through the BioMoby platform, and this number continues to grow. Here we highlight and discuss the features of BioMoby that make it distinct from other Semantic Web Service and interoperability initiatives, and that have been instrumental to its deployment and use by a wide community of bioinformatics service providers. The standard, client software, and supporting code libraries are all freely available at http://www.biomoby.org/ http://precedings.nature.com/documents/1486/version/1 Fri, 04 Jan 2008 20:55:24 UTC Interoperability With Moby 1.0 – It’s Better Than Sharing Your Toothbrush! hdl:10101/npre.2008.1486.1 2008-01-04 Mark Wilkinson Nature Precedings 2008-01-04T20:55:24Z Manuscript Bioinformatics http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
