MyGrid
The myGrid consortium produces and uses a suite of tools design to “help e-Scientists get on with science and get on with scientists”. The tools support the creation of e-laboratories and have been used in domains as diverse as systems biology, social science, music, astronomy, multimedia and chemistry. The consortium is led by Carole Goble of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manchester, UK. Tools produced and used by myGrid Tools developed by the myGrid consortium include: The Taverna workbench for designing, editing and executing scientific workflows myExperiment for sharing workflows and related data BioCatalogue a public registry of Web services for Life Scientists Seek produced in collaboration with the SysModb: Systems Biology of Micro-Organisms DataBase Finding, sharing and exchanging data, models and processes in Systems Biology MethodBox Browse datasets and share knowledge.
