A vast amount of biological data is now available via web services. Yet the usefulness of this data is limited by the difficulty in performing queries that require data spanning multiple services. We overview a platform which offers integrated data access with minimal user awareness. Users pose high-level queries to this platform, and the system applies a combination of reasoning techniques and cost-based optimization to generate an efficient and reliable implementation on top of the services. We briefly explain the platform’s reasoning paradigm, which is based on exact reformulation; we then overview the platform’s use on a set of bioinformatics sources, and provide some preliminary results concerning its performance.
