Abstract:
A framework to facilitate at least one of bioinformatics and chemi-informatics research, comprising:a plurality of computers, at least one of the plurality of computers running a multi-platform object oriented programming code, and at least one of the plurality of computers storing at least one of biological and chemical data, the computer storing the data providing the computer running the object oriented programming code with program data at run time to enable at least one of creation, manipulation, and viewing of the data, at least one of the plurality of computers being operative as a server, the server providing to the computer running the object oriented programming code a list at run time identifying services available to the server, the list representing objects by class name and the computer running the object oriented programming code being operable to invoke at least one of the services by class name based on the list, thereby causing the server to instantiate corresponding class objects by name at run time; and a network architecture interconnecting the plurality of computers, the network architecture allowing objects to transparently communicate with each other; whereby the framework provides for integrating and organizing the data to facilitate at least one of biological and chemical research.
