چکیده
Web services is distributed computing technology that provides software services over the Web. The Cyberinfrastructure Group at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) has adopted the Web service architecture and wrapped a wide variety of bioinformatics applications and data resources using the technology. Users can browse various data resources and invoke analysis tools through the services deployed at VBI. We have also developed an integrated client environment, ToolBus, which is available from http://pathport.vbi.vt.edu/download. A use case is given to demonstrate the use of Web services through ToolBus. A complete list of Web services is included.

Applying Semantic Web Services to Bioinformatics: Experiences Gained, Lessons Learnt
We have seen an increasing amount of interest in the application of Semantic Web technologies to Web services. The aim is to support automated discovery and composition of the services allowing seamless and transparent interoperability. In this paper we discuss three projects that are applying such technologies to bioinformatics: Grid, MOBY-Services and Semantic-MOBY. Through an examination of ...
متن کاملSemantically linking web pages to web services in Bioinformatics
A key application area of semantic technologies is the fast-developing field of bioinformatics. Sealife is a project within this field with the aim of creating semanticsbased web browsing capabilities for the life sciences. This includes meaningfully linking significant terms from the text of a web page to executable web services. This requires the semantic mark-up of biological terms, linking ...
متن کاملBioSStore: A Client Interface for a Repository of Semantically Annotated Bioinformatics Web Services
Bioinformatics has shown itself to be a domain in which Web services are being used extensively. In this domain, simple but real services are being developed. Thus, there are huge repositories of real services available (for example BioMOBY main repository includes more than 1500 services). Besides, bioinformatics repositories usually have active communities using and working on improvements. H...
متن کاملBioServices: a common Python package to access biological Web Services programmatically
MOTIVATION Web interfaces provide access to numerous biological databases. Many can be accessed to in a programmatic way thanks to Web Services. Building applications that combine several of them would benefit from a single framework. RESULTS BioServices is a comprehensive Python framework that provides programmatic access to major bioinformatics Web Services (e.g. KEGG, UniProt, BioModels, C...
