The pack contains a number of test workflows i built when i'm annotating web services.
The workflows (one or two services) have all example parameters.
Cool, now you can test some web services before add them to your workflows.
Do you have any workflows you built to test a service? please add them to the pack.

The problem we are facing …
Finding specific web services to build workflows become more and more difficult. Syntactic search does not help much... For instance, by using text search it is impossible to tell that the service named ‘searchsimple’ from the DDBJ is a BLAST web service. Moreover, services WSDL description files do not unambiguously determine what they do.
<o:p> </o:p>myGrid solution: semantic annotation of web services
In order to assist users in finding and using biological web services, the myGrid project has created a registry of manually curated web services.
Web services and their parameters are fully described and tagged with ontological terms from the myGrid bioinformatics and service ontologies. These ontological terms can then be used to search services.
As result users can now search services by task, input, name, output…etc…
There are more than 600 manually annotated web services in the myGrid service registry; the registry is updated on a daily basis.

<o:p></o:p>Annotated service can be accessed within Taverna workbench using the ‘Discover’ tab (http://www.mygrid.org.uk/usermanual1.7/taverna_plugins.html#feta) or the Feta-browser (still under construction) http://www.mygrid.org.uk/feta-browser/
<o:p> </o:p>What next
We want to get the community (users and providers) involved in the annotation. It is, I believe, the only way to get every single web service annotated.
The question is how? Is it by providing a simple annotation tool? Or setting standard? Or educating providers? Or ... etc...
Have your say …we are listening …..
The myGrid project (http://www.mygrid.org.uk/) and the European Bioinformatics Institute (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/) have initiated the BioCatalogue project: http://www.biocatalogue.org/.
The aim of the project is to create a curated registry of Life Science Web services and to advocate Web service annotation.
The BioCatalogue is funded by the BBSRC.
Join the effort for a curated catalogue of bio services! Annotate your services in the BioCatalogue: http://www.biocatalogue.org/
