Abstract

UNLABELLED

Data in the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database is traditionally available in a flat file format that has a number of known shortcomings. With XML rapidly emerging as a standard data exchange format that can address some problems of flat file formats by defining data structure and syntax, there is now a demand to distribute EMBL data in an XML format. XEMBL is a service tool that employs CORBA servers to access EMBL data, and distributes the data in XML format via a number of mechanisms.

AVAILABILITY

Use of the XEMBL service is free of charge at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/xembl/, and can be accessed via web forms, CGI, and a SOAP-enabled service.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Information on the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database is available at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/embl/. The EMBL Object Model is available at http://corba.ebi.ac.uk/models/. Information on the EMBL CORBA servers is at http://corba.ebi.ac.uk/

摘要

未标注

欧洲分子生物学实验室核苷酸序列数据库中的数据传统上以平面文件格式提供，这种格式存在一些已知缺点。随着XML迅速成为一种标准数据交换格式，它可以通过定义数据结构和语法来解决平面文件格式的一些问题，现在人们要求以XML格式分发欧洲分子生物学实验室的数据。XEMBL是一种服务工具，它使用CORBA服务器访问欧洲分子生物学实验室的数据，并通过多种机制以XML格式分发数据。
