Web services in the life sciences.
Web services provide a standard way of publishing applications and data sources over the internet, enabling mass dissemination of knowledge. In the life sciences, the web-service approach is seen as being a road to standardizing the multitude of tools available from different providers. In this article, we present an overview of the technology (focusing on life-science applications), we list the currently available service providers and we discuss advanced issues raised by the concept.

The discovery net system for high throughput bioinformatics.
MOTIVATION: Bioinformatics requires Grid technologies and protocols to build high performance applications without focusing on the low level detail of how the individual Grid components operate. RESULTS: The Discovery Net system is a middleware that allows service developers to integrate tools based on existing and emerging Grid standards such as web services. Once integrated, these tools can be used to compose reusable workflows using these services that can later be deployed as new services for others to use. Using the Discovery Net system and a range of different bioinformatics tools, we built a Grid based application for Genome Annotation. This includes workflows for automatic nucleotide annotation, annotation of predicted proteins and text analysis based on metabolic profiles and text analysis.
