The myGrid team are developing the concept of Scientific Research Objects (SROs).
SROs will be exchanged via a metadata bus within and between systems. SROs are generated by services, e.g. Taverna Workbench, and consumed by them, e.g. UTOPIA.
UTOPIA is a collection of interactive tools for analysing protein sequence and structure. It hides the representation of the protein data and analysis tools from users. Instead users are able to interact with the data in terms appropriate to the domain of protein analysis rather than program algorithms and data.
UTOPIA has 2000 registered [...]
Find-O-Matic is an intuitive interface used by UTOPIA to search for data and services. The search can be performed using terms from an ontology or free text.
Steve is a lecturer in Computer Science at the University of Manchester.
He is a Chief Investigator on the myGrid platform and myExperiment grants. He headed the project that developed UTOPIA.
Phil is currently a research student at the University of Manchester. He designed and implemented an iTunes-like interface for finding scientific objects within UTOPIA.
James Marsh is the core researcher for the UTOPIA suite at the University of Manchester.
