Hello, Nicklas.

Just to clarify our interest in this in NuGO: I would like to be able to 
query multiple base2 instances from GenePattern and analyse the results 
using R/Java modules. We are also interested in using Taverna/Kepler 
workflows. In this respect, it would be useful to have a BioMOBY 
compliant web service for base2.

We've done two proof of concept projects on base2/BioMOBY integration 
here at RRI, and the work is now being followed up by Chris Evelo's 
group at Maastrcht University. It seems useful to me that we try to 
minimise duplication of effort in this work. My opinion is that while 
base2 is appropriate to use as our microarray LIMS, it would be useful 
to have a 'standard' BioMBY compliant query interface to make it easy to 
analyse data outside of the base2/base2-plugin environment. For example, 
in GenePattern. I'm realise that you support integration of base2 with 
TIGR's MeV, but I believe that GenePattern represents a much 'broader' 
and flexible microarray data analysis platform :-)

Best wishes,

        Tony.
