WABI -- Web API for Biology
What you can do:
Use to manage workflow in biological analysis.
Highlights:
- DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) provides Web-based systems for biological analysis, called Web APIs for biology (WABI).
- Over 20 SOAP services and several workflows that consist of a series of method invocations have been developed.
- Each Web service and workflow can be used as a complete service or a building block for programmers to construct more complex information processing systems.
- The workflow navigation system aims to help non-programming biologists perform analysis tasks by providing next applicable services on Web browsers according to the output of a previously selected service.
- With this function, users can apply multiple services consecutively only by following links without any programming or manual copy-and-paste operations on Web browsers.
- The listed services are determined automatically by the system referring to the dictionaries of service categories, the input/output types of services and HTML tags.
