Executing SADI services in Galaxy
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND In recent years Galaxy has become a popular workflow management system in bioinformatics, due to its ease of installation, use and extension. The availability of Semantic Web-oriented tools in Galaxy, however, is limited. This is also the case for Semantic Web Services such as those provided by the SADI project, i.e. services that consume and produce RDF. Here we present SADI-Galaxy, a tool generator that deploys selected SADI Services as typical Galaxy tools. RESULTS SADI-Galaxy is a Galaxy tool generator: through SADI-Galaxy, any SADI-compliant service becomes a Galaxy tool that can participate in other out-standing features of Galaxy such as data storage, history, workflow creation, and publication. Galaxy can also be used to execute and combine SADI services as it does with other Galaxy tools. Finally, we have semi-automated the packing and unpacking of data into RDF such that other Galaxy tools can easily be combined with SADI services, plugging the rich SADI Semantic Web Service environment into the popular Galaxy ecosystem. CONCLUSIONS SADI-Galaxy bridges the gap between Galaxy, an easy to use but "static" workflow system with a wide user-base, and SADI, a sophisticated, semantic, discovery-based framework for Web Services, thus benefiting both user communities.

متن کاملAutomated Generation of SADI Web Services for Clinical Intelligence using Ruled-Based Semantic Mappings
We present a framework that automates the generation of SADI semantic web services from declarative service descriptions and semantic mappings to relational data. Mappings are specified in a Datalog sublanguage of Positional-Slotted Object-Applicative (PSOA) RuleML. We outline a novel methodology, a system architecture, and a prototype implementation for service generation. A proof-of-concept i...
