Web服务作为一种将现有数据和计算资源打包成一种适合第三方应用程序使用和组合的形式的手段,已经获得了发展势头。生命科学社区无疑是Web服务的首批采用者之一。例如,“Taverna”:http://www.mygrid.org.uk,一个在生命科学界很受欢迎的工作流工作台,提供了对超过350万个Web服务的访问,这些Web服务可以由科学家组成,用于构建和执行他们的计算机实验。然而,阻碍Web服务的广泛采用和使用的主要问题之一是难以定位“适当的”Web服务,即,执行科学家感兴趣的分析的Web服务。可用的Web服务的描述往往是穷人提供很少的信息,科学家对他们的有用性的分析后,他/她。考虑到上述问题,作者最近启动了生物目录项目(“http://www.biocatalogue.org/“:http://www.biocatalogue.org/)。BioCatalogue提供了一个集中的生物Web服务注册表。一个提供者、用户和专家管理员可以注册、注释和搜索Web服务的地方。它也是社区可以联系和会见这些服务的专家和维护者的地方。该项目由曼彻斯特大学和EMBL-EBI共同开发。
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. The life science community is certainly among the first adopters of Web Services. For example, "Taverna":http://www.mygrid.org.uk, 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 theirin silicoexperiments. 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/":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.
