Abstract
SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) ( http://www.w3.org/TR/soap ) based Web Services technology ( http://www.w3.org/ws ) has gained much attention as an open standard enabling interoperability among applications across heterogeneous architectures and different networks. The European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) is using this technology to provide robust data retrieval and data analysis mechanisms to the scientific community and to enhance utilization of the biological resources it already provides [N. Harte, V. Silventoinen, E. Quevillon, S. Robinson, K. Kallio, X. Fustero, P. Patel, P. Jokinen and R. Lopez (2004) Nucleic Acids Res ., 32, 3–9]. These services are available free to all users from http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices .Keywords
