[MOBY-dev] Moby Collections (was: Problems with Biomoby servicesin Taverna 1.2)

[Paul Gordon]

I think Martin has hit the nail on the head here.  One of the primary 
advantages of MOBY is that you can't (easily) build arbitrarily 
syntactically complex output.  This ensures that you can chain together 
services more easily.  You should be building new objects in the 
ontology to represent the cluster concept, not squeezing that cluster 
logic into the syntax of the collection.  Otherwise clients will do very 
wierd things with your implicitly encoded concepts.  You always have to 
look at how your data could be used by someone else who wasn't expecting 
it...
