Wide range of services and extensible architecture
- Service discovery
- Various service types available: WSDL-style and RESTful Web services, BioMart, BioMoby, SoapLab, R, Beanshell, Excel and csv spreadsheets
- Service creation for external tools or Java libraries
- Calling tools/scripts on a local machine or remote machines (via ssh)
- Extensible service plug-in architecture for adding new service types
- Fully integrated support for browsing curated service catalogues, such as the BioCatalogue, for Web services (WSDL/SOAP and REST)
- Interaction with a running workflow within a web browser
- Ability to define and share semantically annotated components, and have them used as services in workflows
