This seems like an OK example, but maybe not a good match for our task.

More specifically we are looking for good examples of semantic  
descriptions that we can use for Taverna while developing semantic  
linking/browsing/searching. In particular, descriptions of inputs and  
outputs that are a bit more specific than "Object", so that we can  
build GUI elements in Taverna for use cases like this rough description:

a) Add a BioMoby processor into the Taverna workflow
b) Click on the process, find that the input is a string described as  
a "GCP_Phenotype"
c) Browse a list of BioMoby services that can provide the output type  
"GCP_Phenotype"
d) Add one of the services to the workflow and connect it

Of course, limiting the search by "performs task NCBI_Blast" is also  
nice.


So a good example would be one (or a few related) services that has  
this kind of information specified and that actually works. :-)
