Title
Towards Ubiquitous Bio-Information Computing: Data Protocols, Middleware, and Web Services for Heterogeneous Biological Information Integration and Retrieval
Abstract
Biological information computing is rapidly advancing from homogeneous data computationto large-scale heterogeneous data computation. However, the development of data specification protocols, software middleware, and Webservices, which support large-scale heterogeneous data exchange, integration, andcomputation, generally falls behind data expansion rates and bioinformatics demands.The Ubiquitous Bio-Information Computing (UBIC{2}) project aims to disseminate softwarepackages to assist the development of heterogeneous bio-information computingapplications that are interoperable and may run distributedly. UBIC{2} lays down the softwarearchitecture for integrating, retrieving, and manipulating heterogeneous biologicalinformation so that data behave like being stored in a unified database. UBIC{2} programminglibrary implements the software architecture and provides application programming interfaces(APIs) to facilitate the development of heterogeneous bio-information computingapplications. To achieve interoperability, UBIC{2} Web services use XML-based datacommunication means, which allow distributed applications to consume heterogeneous bio-information regardless of platforms. The documents and software package of UBIC{2} areavailable at http://www.ubic2.org.
