Carol Goble is a big name in the UK, one of the tutorials at BioSysBio was on Taverna and I think this might be something worth pursuing.<br>cheers, <br><br>John<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/27/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

<br>Dear Open Wet Ware Steering Committee,<br><br>We have recently come across the existence of the Open Wet Ware portal<br>with interest and delight. In the context of the myGrid project [1] and<br>its Taverna workbench [2], we are currently prototyping a similar
<br>initiative for bioinformaticians working in silico in the 'dry lab' of<br>the Web, dubbed myExperiment.org (see [3],[4]). Bar some important<br>differences, it would seem much of the overarching vision and underlying
<br>infrastructure for sharing and reuse is the same for wet lab and dry lab<br>protocols. You can find some of our plans on-line at [5] and [6].<br><br>We noticed your recent call for comments based on your NSF proposal<br>
feedback. Our project recently secured funding for full time myExperiment<br>developers. It would be great if we could join forces and not reinvent<br>any wheels.<br><br>Carole Goble, the myGrid project leader, is visiting Boston next week for
<br>a talk [7]. Would you be available to hook up with her for a chat on<br>Friday February 2nd? She can be reached at <a href="mailto:carole@cs.man.ac.uk">carole@cs.man.ac.uk</a><br><br>Best regards,<br><br>Antoon Goderis, on behalf of the myGrid team
