The European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) provides access to a wide range of databases and analysis tools that are of key importance in bioinformatics. As well as providing Web interfaces to these resources, Web Services are available using SOAP and REST protocols that enable programmatic access to our resources and allow their integration into other applications and analytical workflows. This unit describes the various options available to a typical researcher or bioinformatician who wishes to use our resources via Web interface or programmatically via a range of programming languages.
欧洲生物信息学研究所（EMBL-EBI）提供了对生物信息学中至关重要的广泛数据库和分析工具的访问。除了为这些资源提供Web界面外，还可使用SOAP和REST协议获得Web服务，这些协议允许对我们的资源进行编程访问，并将其集成到其他应用程序和分析工作流程中。本单元描述了典型研究人员或生物信息学家可采用的各种选项，他们希望通过Web界面或通过一系列编程语言以编程方式使用我们的资源。
