Managing Web Services: An Application in Bioinformatics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose to treat Web services as first-class objects that can be manipulated as if they were data in DBMS. We provide an integrated way for service users to query, compose and evaluate Web services. The resulting system is called Web Service Management System (WSMS). We deployed WSMS as the backbone of a bioinformatics experiment framework named Genome Tracker. In this demonstration, we show how WSMS helps biologists conduct experiments easily and effectively using a service-oriented architecture.

This paper describes shimantic web syndrome, the use of “shims” to align or mediate mismatching third party Web Services that have closely related, but incompatible, inputs and outputs. The syndrome is illustrated using services from Grid bioinformatics analyses. An ontology driven treatment for managing this syndrome through semiautomated service discovery and invocation is outlined. This trea...

متن کاملManaging structural genomic workflows using Web services
In silico scientific experiments encompass multiple combinations of program and data resources. Each resource combination in an execution flow is called a scientific workflow. In bioinformatics environments, program composition is a frequent operation, requiring complex management. A scientist faces many challenges when building an experiment: finding the right program to use, the adequate para...
متن کاملApplying 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 کاملBio Search Computing: Bioinformatics web service integration for data-driven answering of complex Life Science questions
An increasing number of bioinformatics web services are available that provide answer to specific data extraction and analysis needs. Yet, biomedical questions are often complex and regard many different aspects of an organism and its biomolecular entities. Their answer hence requires searching multiple heterogeneous data that frequently are inherently ordered, or are associated with ranked con...
