This is great news, thank you for this, Hervé. For now I think the most important bit is to have anything that is automated in some reasonable way. And then let's extend that over time. This should give edam annotation a particular boost, I tend to think.
You may be aware of an earlier email in which I described the Google Spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tApLhVqxRZ2VOuMH_aPUgFENQJfbLlB_PFH_Ah_q7hM/edit?usp=sharing to provide an overview on what packages (rows) are important for which workflows (columns). Now imagine what EDAM could do for us along those lines. @Jon,Matúš, should we possibly do some bulk EDAM annotation just for the packages on this "virus" tab? I suggest several iterations, like Topics first to provide the summary scope and I/O+File formats second for the individual executables once we know more about it all.
