The Integration Framework of bioinformatics Based on Web Services
HE Hong-bo · Systems Engineering · 2004
Bioinformatics is a subject to investigate the exponential increased biology data using the methods of mathematics, physics and information science. Web Services is a service-oriented architecture, whose main significance is really platform-independent and language-independent. Now the databases of bioinformatics are increasing explosively. In this paper, we analyze the architecture and key technologies of Web Services, propose a bioinformatics integration framework based on Web Services and research the principle of the framework, which may conveniently be used in integration of all kinds of existing heterogeneous bioinformatics systems. We also propose a concept of service classes.
