SOAP and webservices 07 May '07 09:02 Go to next message

Hello,

I have a basic set of API-calls that interfaces with a metabolic network database. In order to expose our data to the outside world, we offer SBML files for download (in the same way that reactome.org e.g. does).

We now would like to go one step further and open the API to the public by means of webservices. Has anybody done this? Does anybody think this is a good idea for that matter? While I was originally in favor of it, I'm now starting to think it might now be, because wouldn't this involve redefining the entire SBML-DTD in a WSDL context?

Alternatively, I could provide a search-interface through a webservice and return a string that points to one or more sbml-files on the website (that are there already anyway).

Your thoughts please,

Yves Sucaet

You might be interested in checking out the web services
provided by the SBW group at sys-bio.org. I seem to recall
there's an SBML interface in the form of a "network object
model" (NOM).

What Mike is referring to here is:

http://sys-bio.org/generate/edu_caltech_NOMClipboard.asmx

Using SBW we can create Web Services to all available SBW Modules. The NOM
is our Wrapper to libSBML, that makes SBML reading, as well as simple
modifications available to all SBW modules. As such the NOM provides a
simple querying API to the loaded SBML model.

This somehow does not quite sound like that would solve Yves question
though. That said, I'm definitely interested to hear more. (Though perhaps
this should be done off list, as it is not (strictly) an SBML issue.)

Frank

Re: SOAP and webservices 25 Jul '07 14:59 Go to previous messageGo to next message

we decided the following approach: the webservice will be a way to query the database to find pathways/reactions of interest (e.g.: "show me all reactions/pathways that involve Lactose" or "show me all pathways updated after my last visit on
5/10/2007"). At the end, the user always gets back an ID that points to a pre-generated SBML file that represents the relevant pathway. We may extend this granularity one step further to reactions (so that a custom set of relevant reactions may be embedded in a single SBML-file, regardless of which pathway they belong to).

The webservice has been developed, however is currently under revision to coordinate methods with an alternate Java-based API.

As for the SBML-files: my focus is now on how to integrate our custom annotation in the form of BioPax.

Hi Yves--

I'm very interested in finding out more about what use cases you've
compiled for your model repository. I've visited a few such sites (EBI
Biomodels, Reactome, 3J, Jigcell) and would very much like to find out
what additional sorts of metadata have been regarded as useful in
organizing and searching for models. Please get in touch and let me know
if you can.

Best--
