Let me re-phrase that last sentance - The EBI's services will be based
upon open & non-proprietary specifications & technologies (e.g. OMG spec's
mapped to WSDL), so you shouldn't be constrained to a specific toolkit
supplied by a single provider.

We should have a poster at BOSC. In the meantime, we'll be updating our
webpages at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/mygrid/ There's already a PowerPoint
presentation & grainy RealAudio presentation there.

We'll have to see what it takes to map the WSDL interfaces of our services
so that they are MOBY compliant.


cheers,
