Lunch
|
1330 - 1415 | Taverna Taverna is a suite of scientific workflow tools, allowing researchers to graphically design data-driven pipelines that represent in-silico experiments, combining public web services (SOAP/REST), existing local tools, third-party scripts and extensions for specific services, like EBI's BioMart. Execution of Taverna workflows can be done interactively from the desktop, on the command line, exposed as WSDL/REST services by the Taverna Server, or by using web-front ends for Java Portlets and Ruby. Taverna is successfully used in a large number of domains, including chemistry, bioinformatics, medicine, text mining, astronomy and music. Taverna workflows have been used on large data such as genomes and archives of digitized images. The companion websites myExperiment.org enables users to share and find more than 1100 Taverna workflows, while the BioCatalogue.org allows discovery, annotation and monitoring of more than 1700 biological web services. There will be time for questions and dicsussion. Stian Soiland-Reyes (Technical Lead for Taverna) |
