The purpose of biocViews is create HTML pages that categorize packages in a Bioconductor package repository according to terms, or views, in a controlled vocabulary. The fundamental resource is the VIEWS file placed at the root of a repository. This file contains the complete DESCRIPTION file contents for each package along with additional meta data describing the location of package artifacts ...

Modularity is a key feature at design, programming, proving, testing, and maintenance time, as well as a must for reusability. Most languages and systems provide built-in facilities for encapsulation, importation or parameterization. Nevertheless there exists also languages, like HTML, with poor support for modularization. A natural idea is therefore to provide generic modularization primitives...

The problem treated in this paper is the slow response of inference engines, especially in a multi-user environment. In this paper, we present a solution that caches all the possible answers to all the possible consultations, by means of translating the entire knowledge base into a set of HTML documents. We prove that the consumption of memory in this case is acceptable (depends linearly on the...
