Hi Marco,
As we were recently discussing, I think that
myExperiment/Taverna/BioCatalogue would be interesting to the Pistoia
project[1], which will assemble data standards, services, and
ontologies for the Pharmaceutical Drug Discovery workflow. Note
carefully that the participants of this project are the Heads of
(Chem)IT for several not terribly small Pharma companies.
While formulating my ideas about this to pose to Pistoia members, I
came up with a technical question and would like to know who can help
me with the answer. The question is about plans for creating web
service wrappers for workflow Runners on myExperiment. This is now
within reach, isn't it? Or is this desire-induced delusion on my part?
The ramifications are HUGE: composition of workflows via web service
interfaces can become trivial and myExperiment could provide web
(REST) access to executing them.
Best,
Scott

P.S. Don't think that I can post this to the myGrid list. Is it
appropriate?
