3000+ services Open domain services and

resources. Third party. Enforce NO common data model. No common typing. Missing metadata. Input0: string Output0: string.

©

Body Large experiments or large

research groups/labs, possibly distributed

Large service provider institutes.

Tightly coupled provider-consumer of resources.

Commonly resource providers.

Lots of facilities. Some access to sys admin etc

Not many of them

Long tail Small, isolated,

independent, groups/individuals

Loosely coupled provider-consumer of resources.

Commonly resource consumers.

Boutique suppliers. Poor access to facilities,

instruments, sys admins. Many of them – esp. in

Life Sciences!

Shim Services

©

A Community Bio-Service Catalogue For myGrid. For other middleware developers like BioMOBY. For application developers in the community. For bioinformaticians.

Semantic annotations for the community’s services. Storage and discovery framework. We have pieces. We have been investigating. We

have been prototyping. Time to get serious! SIX things: tech infrastructure, semantic infrastructure,

tools, curation, community buy-in, institutional support

Community Service Providers

Community Scientists

©

Community Buy-In

The services are owned and developed by the community.

Partnership with the European Bioinformatics Institute to improve the metadata for services provided by major suppliers at source, and propagate best practice by example.

Enthusiasm for a catalogue in the community.

©

Institutional Support Hosting the registry, curating, resources to

develop the infrastructure, partnering with suppliers.

Sustainability and impact. OMII-UK and the EBI

©

So why is it taking so damn long?

The final 9 yards and 80:20 rule. All or nothing. Dedicated resources and best intentions. Content, content, content. Being too damn, and unnecessarily, clever. Can HCLS SIG help?

©

Let’s get serious

Its time to get serious about building and managing a catalogue.

The outcome would be a living and useful resource, not just for bioinformaticians but also for those working in the Semantic Web for Life Sciences, or just the Semantic Web.

We have the parts and enough of the know-how. And a means to the content.

So lets. Just. Do. It.
