BioMOBY Installation

BioMOBY is implemented generally by programmers, it comes in two main languages, PERL and JAVA.

You can find tutorials on Perl service providers on this page, documentation on how to implement java service providers can be found on this page.

If you simply want to publish your database using MOBY services the easiest way to do so is to use TAPIR.

MOBY has a series of clients that allow you to discover and access data through the BioMOBY framework, this page features a list.

There are a series of tools that aid in the management of MOBY data types and services and in the creation of MOBY services, Dashboard and MoSeS are the most notable

BioMoby Dashboard provides a graphical user interface that allows MOBY developers to register services, data types, service types and namespaces. It also provides a MOBY client that features an extensible set of viewers for displaying MOBY services data. MoSeS is integrated in Dashboard, MoSeS allows developers to generate a series of web service Java template skeletons that, once extended, implement MOBY services. Dashboard provides the means to generate the code and implement services under TOMCAT.

BioMoby Dashboard also provides a way to create web services that talk to BioCASE providers, this option can be used if there is the need to work on the data before it is returned. This page explains how to do it.
