Abstract
Bio-jETI is a framework for model-based, graphical design, execution and management of bioinformatics analysis processes. Formal methodology like automatic service composition extends the framework and, in particular, allows for semantically aware workow development. In this study we apply the workow synthesis methodology to the EMBOSS suite of sequence analysis tools. As neither the tool suite itself nor its various interfaces provide ready-to-use semantic annotations, we set up a domain model that uses a high-level, semantically meaningful type nomenclature to describe the input/output behavior of the single EMBOSS tools. Based on this domain model, we demonstrate how working with the large, heterogeneous, and hence manually intractable EMBOSS collection is simplified by our service composition methodology.
