Red Iberoamericana de Bioinformatica. Capacitación.
La Bioinformática ha experimentado un desarrollo extraordinario en los últimos 5 años, fundamentalmente debido al fuerte apoyo a programas de genómica proporcionado por un gran número de países. Iberoamérica, como región con identidad cultural propia, despliegue la primera Red en Bioinformática de cooperación científica regional en Iberoamérica (http://rib.cecalc.ula.ve). De esta manera se multiplican las posibilidades de colaboración ente sectores académicos (líneas de formación e intercambio de personal docente), científicos (investigación de nuevas líneas de trabajo) e industriales (patentes, desarrollo de software, servicios basados en Web).

(a) already existing annotated sequences;
(b) orthologous sequences and
(c) groups of sequences sharing statistical significant patterns.
Sma3s provides (i) gene ontology terms, (ii) Swiss-Prot keywords and (iii) pathways, (iv) InterPro domains, and (v) IntAct interactions.

jORCA: Easily integrating bioinformatics web services
jORCA is a desktop client able to efficiently integrate different type of web-services repositories mapping metadata over a general definition to support scalable service discovery and to achieve flexible inter-communication between tools. jORCA manages repositories heterogeneity supported by the Modular-API that provides a uniform view of metadata (e.g. GRID-based, WSDL–services, BioMoby and others), making the integration of bioinformatics Web-Services easier.

ARco: Association Rules collaborative tool
ARco is a versatile, complete and powerful suite for the production of association rules with particular focus on gene-expression data combining both gene related descriptors and sample metadata. ARco (stands for Association Rules collaborative tool) integrates the typical steps on KDD procedures. The KDD process involves different steps, from the selection of appropriated data, coding the data and identifying patterns.

ACGT- MetaDataRepository: Repositories for bioinformatics Web-Services
Many bioinformatics tools are available on-line but due to rapid developments of new and improved tools, it is necessary to be able to publish and maintain metadata about such tools in a public registry. This metadata can be used to provide several necessary functionalities, for example discovery, invocation and documentation of tools, data persistence systems (data provenance). Here we offer the implementation of a repository for knowledge-discovery-related tool metadata. We use existing formats for tool descriptions and we have also defined a core set of metadata for tools. This metadata is connected to the tool description and improves the possibilities of finding the right tool description among a large set of tool descriptions. The repository allows tool requestors to filter available tools depending on the metadata that the tools are annotated with.

VideoCatalyzer: Automatic video analysis system for semantic content recognition and query-by-content in living organism videos
VideoCatalyzer: Automatic video analysis system for semantic content recognition in living organism videos. The system is able to extract from such videos metadata describing the actions and behavior of individual organisms (cells, bacteria, mice, etc). Beginning with the image processing procedures required for identifying the objects of interest, the system tracks the movements and actions of such organism in the video sequences, detecting and recording the relevant behavioral events. The metadata obtained, that describe the organism behavior present at the video content, are also organized in a database allowing a by-content accessing of the videos, obtaining important analytical information from the subsequent queries. The database search system enables the retrieving and visualization of selected video sequences matching a given query-by-content criteria. The efficiency and accuracy of the presented system increase analytical power for uncovering and studying the effect of drugs on a variety of behavioral models.

HemoGest: Follow up Hemophilia patients
HemoGest is a database management system that provides the storage, processing and data management to support the evaluation of patients with haemophilia using a friendly interface.

- Creation and updating of haemophlia patients data.
- Management of clinical data (treatments, report Analysis, questionnaire, etc.)
- Sistematic evaluation of clinical reports to allow an homogeneus monitoring, faster diagnosis and improved treatments.
- Study of quiality of life in Haemophilia patients.

Magallanes: Multi-Architecture Resources Discovering
Magallanes is a versatile and platform-independent Java library of algorithms to built-up search engines to help in the discovery of services and datatypes specially oriented to deal with repositories of web-services and associated datatypes. A service or data-type discovery process aims to identify the set of services or data-types that satisfy a given number of constraints from the pool of all the available (e.g. what services are available to process my sequence?). Typically, clients that exploit these repositories supply some mechanism to help in the discovery process, most of them with syntactic orientation such as search for web services by name and also by function or input or output parameters. Text search functionality over the service’s name is also frequent in clients. However, for the final user this type of syntactic discovering process is not efficient since it assume a user-knowledge on the names of objects or services. Magallanes offers the necessary architecture for flexible and expandable identification of Web-services in such a way they can increase the client capabilities and enforce the integration process.

Modular API
The huge growth of internet has supposed the raise of a huge number of formats, data and services that are partically developed on parallel and are incompatible among them. We have developed a new framework for the develpement of applicatoins with the main characteristic of be modular and adaptable to different scenarios. The natural flexiblity of the framework allows the conecction to different data sources and combine their contents for showing all to the user with a easy to use and powerful interface.
