A recent assertion from a team at Argonne National Laboratory proposed a simple yet still “fringe” answer to an increasingly pressing question for scientists in data-intensive fields. Before we get there, however, it might go without saying that all scientific disciplines are data-intensive now, especially following the explosion in sensors and data collection gear sparked by the era of limitless mobility...
provides a simple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. * Pay only for what you use. There is no minimum fee, and no start-up cost.
Forbes said that recruiting will never be the same. I said in July that a Facebook-driven job board has potential. And after several false starts this summer and fall, it finally released it into the wild this week. Now, millions of people are flocking to it to get a job, right?
The Firewater Framework lets you create sophisticated REST based web APIs for your Java and Flash/Flex based web applications. Features include:
* Spring based declarative architecture (zero code web services)
* extensible framework
* supports GET, PUT, POST, OPTIONS and DELETE HTTP methods and matches incoming URL patterns
* supports JDBC back-ends with templated SQL mappings
* supports secured web services using Acegi Spring Security
* supports paging, full-text search, sorting and filtering
* flexible cacheing strategy based on OSCache
* custom Spring schema for easy configuration
This project will demonstrate middleware that enables easier deposit of research papers through batch upload of extant bibliographic metadata. It can be employed to assist deposit into the Depot as well as offer facility for repositories more generally, with potential to enhance metadata deposit through transfers and re-directs to institutional repositories (IRs). Using a web service approach and m2m interfaces such as Deposit API / SWORD, this middleware facility will show proof of concept at an early stage by connecting two existing services: the Depot, a UK repository for researchers who do not have other provision, and PublicationsList.org, a web site for researchers to build a web page listing their publications. The latter has existing functionality for batch import of bibliographic metadata for a (personal) publications list - from a variety of online sources such as PubMed, Web of Science, and for the same for personal databases, such as EndNote, Reference Manager, BibTeX etc.
IMUST READ - NFRAWEBS, a European project involving leading authorities on Semantic Web Technologies to develop an application-oriented software toolset for creating, maintaining and executing WSMO-based Semantic Web Services (SWS) within their whole life cycle. This next generation of tools and systems enable software and service providers to build open and extensible development platforms for web service applications. These services will run on Semantic Web initiatives and W3C submissions, such as BPEL4WS, WSMO, WSMX, WSML, SPARQL, RDF, etc. In particular, they will be compliant with WSMO (Web Services Modelling Ontology).
The Adaptive Services Grid (ASG) approach for semantic service provisioning is a solution to implement agility and adaptiveness promised by Service-oriented Architectures. Based on available standards, a solution for the complete service provisioning lifecycle has been built. A key concept of this solution is the usage of semantic information about services to automatically plan, enact, and monitor service compositions to fulfil user requests.
Semantic Annotations for WSDL and XML Schema (SAWSDL) does not specify a language for representing the semantic models. Instead it provides mechanisms by which concepts from the semantic models, typically defined outside the WSDL document, can be referenced from within WSDL and XML Schema components using annotations.
