Subject: [MOBY-l] Some BioMOBY newbie questions
Message-ID: <43CB7BA2.6020207@fis.upv.es>

Hello,

I'm new to this mailing list, so first of all I'll introduce myself! I 
work in the Medical Informatics Group of the Polytechnic University of 
Valencia (Spain) as bioinformatician, and doing my PhD in Computer Science.

One of our current projects is related to biological data integration. 
In brief, it aims to provide an integrated access to heterogeneous 
biological data gathered at the Institute for Agricultural Research of 
Valencia (IVIA), Spain.

I've read about the BioMOBY approach and its results, and in my opinion 
is one of the most promising integration projects. I'd be interested in 
getting more (specially technical) information about it, in order to 
evaluate if its approach is applicable to our case.

Thanks in advance!

?scar D.

Hi Oscar, 

I think the first step is to visit the "for developers" link on the
biomoby.org homepage, and/or read a few of the papers from
(http://biomoby.open-bio.org/index.php/what-is-moby/publications)

Once you have specific questions, there are tons of people around here
who would be glad to help you :-)  (and you have a very strong MOBY
community in Spain!)

Best wishes, 

Mark

"For most of this century we have viewed communications as a conduit, 
       a pipe between physical locations on the planet. 
What's happened now is that the conduit has become so big and interesting 
      that communication has become more than a conduit, 
       it has become a destination in its own right..."
