Exploiting the full potential of Arabidopsis thaliana (functional) genomic data is currently hindered by the limited mechanisms of availability and the lack of integration. Web services provide a mechanism whereby data residing at many different locations can be seamlessly integrated to provide the user with richer data sets. This demonstration project is initiated with the encouragement of the Multinational Arabidopsis Steering Committee that oversees and attempts to integrate functional genomics efforts. The aim is to successfully deploy web services at eight research sites in Europe and eight in the US that vary both in the kinds of data that they host, and in the level of expertise at the sites. The aim is to improve availability and integration of Arabidopsis data through a network of standardized web service providers. This is to be a pilot project: It should demonstrate the feasibility of the approach, the benefits that can be expected from this type of integration, and the effort/time required. It will not be comprehensive: Only few selected data providers will participate, and only selected relevant data types and methods will be integrated. An initial workshop will train the cooperating partners in implementing and utilizing web services. Then web services will be implemented at all sites with the help of a bioinformatician funded by the project. The results of these efforts will be reported and demonstrated at the annual International Arabidopsis Research Conference. The project will document effort required and prerequisites as well as benefit gained.

利用拟南芥（功能）基因组数据的全部潜力目前受到可用性和缺乏整合的有限机制的阻碍。Web服务提供了一种机制，通过这种机制，驻留在许多不同位置的数据可以无缝集成，从而为用户提供更丰富的数据集。这个示范项目是在多国拟南芥指导委员会的鼓励下启动的，该委员会负责监督和尝试整合功能基因组学的工作。其目标是在欧洲的8个研究站点和美国的8个研究站点成功部署Web服务，这些站点托管的数据类型和站点的专业知识水平各不相同。其目的是通过标准化的网络服务提供商的网络来提高拟南芥数据的可用性和整合性。这将是一个试点项目：它应该证明该方法的可行性，可以从这种类型的集成预期的好处，以及所需的工作/时间。它不会是全面的：只有少数选定的数据提供者将参加，只有选定的相关数据类型和方法将被纳入。第一次讲习班将培训合作伙伴执行和利用网络服务。然后，在该项目资助的生物信息学家的帮助下，将在所有地点实施网络服务。这些努力的结果将在年度国际拟南芥研究会议上报告和展示。该项目将记录所需的努力和先决条件以及获得的利益。
