This work has been done as part of the BioExcel CoE ( www.bioexcel.eu),

a project funded by the EC H2020 program, EINFRA-5-2015 contract number 675728

Bringing together pharmacological data resources

in an integrated, interoperable infrastructure

Data sources integrated and linked together so that you can easily see the relationships between compounds, targets, pathways, diseases and tissues.

Workflow gap analysis

Combining private and public data ➟ Tutorials

Local install of Open PHACT ➟ Docker

Testing and comparing different APIs

Integrate third-party tools ➟ Identifier mappings

API changes ➟ Semantic versioning

 

Lack of flexibility for:

Workflow language, API URLs, Data sources

Common format for bioinformatics tool execution
Community based standards effort
Choose your own workflow engine
Designed for cluster & cloud environments
Designed for containers (e.g. Docker)

Main focus: command line tools

and ongoing discussions for super computer support

Work so far

Apache Taverna:
Initiated CWL and Docker support

 

Open PHACTS:

Docker install

Data distribution of sources

Sure CHEMBL (patent data)

 

Future work

Docker tool for local/remote Open PHACTS API

CWL tool descriptions (workflow building blocks)

Use case 6 workflow as CWL

Configuration of data sources / API

Open PHACTS platform as EGI VM appliance
