The FAIR Guiding Principles, published in 2016, aim to improve the findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability of digital research objects for both humans machines.Until now principles have been mostly applied data.The ideas behind these are, however, also directly relevant software.Hence there is a distinct need explore how can be software.In this work, we summarize current status debate around software, as basis development community-agreed software future.We discuss what...
Abstract Motivation: Resource description framework (RDF) is an emerging technology for describing, publishing and linking life science data. As a major provider of bioinformatics data services, the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) committed to making readily accessible community in ways that meet existing demand. The EBI RDF platform has been developed increasing demand coordinate activities across institute provides new entry point querying exploring integrated resources available...
Abstract The notion that data should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable, according to the FAIR Principles, has become a global norm for good stewardship prerequisite reproducibility. Nowadays, guides policy actions professional practices in public private sectors. Despite such endorsements, however, Principles are aspirational, remaining elusive at best, intimidating worst. To address lack of practical guidance, help with capability gaps, we developed Cookbook, an open,...
Scientific research relies on computer software, yet software is not always developed following practices that ensure its quality and sustainability. This manuscript does aim to propose new development best practices, but rather provide simple recommendations encourage the adoption of existing practices. Software promote better improves reproducibility reusability research. These are designed around Open Source values, practical suggestions contribute making source code more discoverable,...
Abstract Summary: BioJS is an open-source project whose main objective the visualization of biological data in JavaScript. provides easy-to-use consistent framework for bioinformatics application programmers. It follows a community-driven standard specification that includes collection components purposely designed to require very simple configuration and installation. In addition programming framework, centralized repository available reutilization by community. Availability implementation:...
ProtVista is a comprehensive visualization tool for the graphical representation of protein sequence features in UniProt Knowledgebase, experimental proteomics and variation public datasets. The complexity relationships this wealth data pose challenge interpretation. Integrative approaches such as provided by are thus essential researchers to understand and, instance, discover patterns affecting function disease associations.ProtVista JavaScript component released an open source project...
Glycoinformatics plays a major role in glycobiology research, and the development of comprehensive glycoinformatics knowledgebase is critical. This application note describes GlyGen data model, processing workflow access interfaces featuring programmatic use case example queries based on specific biological questions. The project integration, harmonization dissemination for carbohydrate glycoconjugate-related retrieved from multiple international sources including UniProtKB, GlyTouCan,...
BioJS is an open source software project that develops visualization tools for different types of biological data. Here we report on the factors influenced growth user and developer community, outline our strategy building this growth. The lessons have learned may also be relevant to other projects.
BioJS is a community-based standard and repository of functional components to represent biological information on the web. The development has been prompted by growing need for bioinformatics visualisation tools be easily shared, reused discovered. Its modular architecture makes it easy users find specific functionality without needing know how built, while can extended or created implementing new functionality. community developers currently provides range that open access freely...
