The time has come for a component-based revolution in bioinformatics. The software technology, including the World Wide Web, JavaTM and its diverse facilities, and other object-based component architectures such as CORBA will drive the effort. The growing abundance of data in need of analysis, the commonality of visualization needs across genomics applications and laboratory environments and the limits of developer resources will combine to create an intense “market”for GUI components. The bioWidgets Consortium will fill the necessary role of coordinator of widget development efforts and dispenser of widgets, and the bioWidget architecture will provide the technical backbone that ensures reusability and interoperability. |
