Abstract

It becomes increasingly important to support automated service discovering and composition due to the growing number of Web Services and data types in bioinformatics and biomedicine. jORCA is a user-friendly desktop client which is able to discover and invoke Web Services from different metadata repositories for services. This paper demonstrates the usefulness of jORCA for service composition by recreating a previously published workflow, starting with the discovery of data types, service composition (workflow generation) and refinement; to enactment, monitoring and visualization of results. The system has been exhaustively tested and documented and is freely available at http://www.bitlab-es.com/jorca.
