Hi Susie,
That sounds amazing. Just for clarification: is this the system that was
also part of the presentation of Greg Tucker-Kellogg at WWW2008 [1]? What
Semantic Web components/functionalities does it contain?

I apologize for the spam, but thought several folks might be interested to
know that Lilly has put it's discovery IT framework into Sourceforge (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lsg/).
I've included an abstract below that gives a very high level description
of
the architecture.
Cheers,
Susie
Life Science Grid (LSG) is a software infrastructure that Lilly has
developed for drug discovery. LSG is a plug-in hosting and deployment
framework that is built on top of the Composite Application Block user
interface from Microsoft Patterns and Practices. LSG is a rich client
which requires .NET 2.0 or higher and WSE 3.0. LSG simplifies the task
of creating new plug-ins by providing a Visual Studio template from
which developers can quickly learn and expand. The framework also
supplies an administrative tool for registering and deploying plug-ins
and composing them into applications. Users can easily choose which
applications and plug-ins to use enabling task-oriented customization.
This approach allows us to provide an integrated environment for the
user. It also enhances the development process by providing a foundation
to build and manage reusable components.
