In silico experiments have hitherto required ad hoc collec-tions of scripts and programs to process and visualise biological data, consuming substantial amounts of time and effort to build, and lead-ing to tools that are difficult to use, are architecturally fragile and scale ...

The project concluded that in order for web services to achieve widespread adoption, standards must be defined for the choice of web service technology, for semantically annotating both service function and the data exchanged, and a mechanism for discovering services must be provided. Building on this, the project developed: EDAM, an ontology for describing life science web services; BioXSD, a schema for exchanging data between services; and a centralized registry (http://www.embraceregistry.net) that collects together around 1000 services developed by the consortium partners. This article presents the current status of the collection and its associated recommendations and standards definitions.
