[MOBY-l] Moby in workflows

[Mark Wilkinson]

Hi Tom,

I know I'm going to see you next week anyway, but since I am sitting 
here in the myGrid lab and mapping out the next 12 months of 
myGrid/MOBY-S merging, I'd like to jump on this and express my pleasure 
that you have built MOBY-S support into Taverna.  In addition, there has 
been considerable discussion that we (the Genome Canada bioinformatics 
platform grant) should spotlight Taverna as the "recommended" tool for 
interacting with web services for all genome centres nationwide - the 
advantage to us, of course, is that we then have a uniform landscape 
through which we can provide bioinformatics end-user service.  An 
upcoming edition of our GC bioinformatics newsletter will do exactly 
that :-)

Phil has indicated that additional MOBY-S support is being added to 
Taverna, so hopefully next week we can sit down over a pint and resolve 
the issues that remain foggy.

Cheers!

Mark
