What is happening in bioinformatics
- •
All that research is producing incredible amounts of data.
- •
No single human being can hope to grok what all the data means without
integration of the analysis from many sources.
- •
A sizeable amount of that data is being made accessible via
an interactive web interface, e.g.:
- • Protein Data Bank: http://www.rcsb.org/
- • GenBank : http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Genbank
What web services bring to game
- •
They make integration, collaboration,
data sharing, and cross-domain data analysis possible and simpler.
- •
No need to re-architecture existing resources, e.g. use a
SOAP server to access data in a non-web aware system.
