[MOBY-dev] BioMoby Taverna plug-in status?

[Victoria Martin Requena]

Hi!

In our INB node we have developed an "advanced search tool" named 
Magallanes,
Magallanes is able to search for Web Services using keywords and other 
procedures and
also has a module to perform automatic workflow composition from an 
input data-type to a output
datatype (available for BioMoby repositories and others).
You can read about some of its features at: 
http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/10/334
Perhaps it may be useful for your tasks.

You can download and use it from: 
http://chirimoyo.ac.uma.es/magallanes/  or from jORCA: 
http://chirimoyo.ac.uma.es/jorca/
where you can automatically launch to execution the workflows found by 
Magallanes.

Best regards,
Vicky
