Re: [Biocatalogue-support] [Myexperiment-discuss] Re: Web service

[Bertram Ludaescher]

Hi:

I'm looking for examples of bioinformatics web services that return "complex XML", i.e., which don't
-- ... return a single text result, thinly wrapped inside an XML envelope, nor
-- ... return a number of such results (as attribute/value pairs, with string values).

Are there such web services out there? I'm thinking e.g. of a web service that returns a list of results, each of which corresponds then to an XML element. The results themselves might be structured and have further sub-elements.

Any pointers / references most welcome!

thanks

Bertram

So the question is: would it be possible to retrieve this data from the BioCatalogue db/repository rather than me having to trawl through the service descriptions manually?

We're working on a REST based API to the BioCatalogue so you can do things like this in the near future.
Hopefully this will be in place within 3 months.

Perfect. If you need a beta tester in the Netherlands, please consider me :)

Thanks,

Michael.
