[MOBY-dev] revised manuscript now in CVS

[Pieter Neerincx]

Hi Mark,

I'm impressed! A very nice manuscript overall and a pleasure to read.  
Just a few minor comments, most of them spelling issues:

* Authors (page 1):
   please add 'nc' to my last name. Neerix -> Neerincx.
   Otherwise it sounds like I'm a character from an Asterix and  
Obelix cartoon :).

* BioMoby Web Services – “What resources are out there to do it?”,  
second paragraph (page 7): add 'is'
   ...and the BioMoby API ensures that an ontology term that *is* in- 
use by any registered service ...

* The BioMoby Central Registry – “How do I find the resource provider  
I want?”, first paragraph (page 9): remove redundant spaces
   ...towards its leaf nodes. *  *Similarly, and perhaps more ...

* BioMoby vs. peer semantic and schema technologies, first paragraph  
(page 13): add 'm' in systes
   ...and made many adaptations to these standards in response to  
perceived limitations and/or complexities in these syste*m*s

* Discussion, Closed world, second paragraph (page 10):
   ..."While showing exciting
      early success in achieving interoperability between a small  
number of participating
      providers, it remains to be seen, as the project expands, if  
the complexity of reasoning
      over an open-world system, and/or the potential dilution of  
compatibility between
      resources due to the increasing number of ontological  
possibilities, will interfere with the
      desired end-point of straight-forward, maximal interoperability  
between bioinformatics
      Web resources."
   That was an extremely long sentence. With five commas and spanning  
7 lines it starts to resemble a workflow :).
   It would be better to shorten it for the sake of readability. Just  
my 0,02€.

Cheers,

Pi
