SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) (http://www.w3.org/TR/soap) based Web Services technology (http://www.w3.org/ws) has gained much attention as an open standard enabling interoperability among applications across heterogeneous architectures and different networks. The European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) is using this technology to provide robust data retrieval and data analysis mechanisms to the scientific community and to enhance utilization of the biological resources it already provides [N. Harte, V. Silventoinen, E. Quevillon, S. Robinson, K. Kallio, X. Fustero, P. Patel, P. Jokinen and R. Lopez (2004) Nucleic Acids Res., 32, 3-9].

基于SOAP(简单对象访问协议)(http://www.w3.org/TR/soap)的Web服务技术(http://www.w3.org/ws)作为一种开放标准,能够实现跨异构架构和不同网络的应用程序之间的互操作性,因此备受关注。欧洲生物信息学研究所(EBI)正在使用这项技术,为科学界提供强大的数据检索和数据分析机制,并提高对其已提供的生物资源的利用效率 [N. 哈特、V. 西尔文托伊宁、E. 凯维隆、S. 罗宾逊、K. 卡里奥、X. 富斯特罗、P. 帕特尔、P. 约基宁和R. 洛佩斯(2004年)《核酸研究》,32卷,3 - 9页]。所有用户均可从http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices免费使用这些服务。
