Hi all, We are following the development of a Web Service interface of BASE2 with great interest in Bergen, Norway. We will later integrate our BASE2 installation with a larger set of resources, with the Web Service interface as the most natural choice of intersection since a Service Oriented Architecture will be implemented for the system as a whole.
Tony, how large are the differences/needed implementations when comparing todays Web Service interface of BASE2 and a BioMOBY compliant Web Service interface ? There are also other "standardized" Web Service interfaces / recommandations for bioinformatics services, with probably EBI being the authority in Europe on implementations of such. How does BioMOBY relate to these efforts/approaches ? Best, Kjell Tony Travis wrote: > Nicklas Nordborg wrote: > >> [...] >> I am not sure I understand what you mean.
