Abstract
The constant increase on the amount and heterogeneity of biological data sources impose a permanent pressure toward the development of computational solutions that can integrate and process all the data, and help give answers to arising biological questions. Besides the work already developed on information integration in computational biology, the novel Web2.0 and Web Semantic trends leverage the design of next-generation applications sustained by the web-as-a-platform principle. Grounded on this idea, this paper presents a service orchestration framework that, using existing web components, allows the user to create and execute their own research workflow relying simply on a normal web browser.
