Abstract

The aim of the BioVeL project is to provide a seamlessly connected informatics environment that makes it easier for biodiversity scientists to carry out in-silico analysis of relevant biodiversity data and to pursue in-silico experimentation based on composing and executing sequences of complex digital data manipulations and modelling tasks. In BioVeL scientists and technologists will work together to meet the needs and demands for in-silico or ‘e-Science’ and to create a production-quality informatics infrastructure to enable pipelining of data and analysis into efficient integrated workflows. Workflows represent a way of speeding up scientific advance when that advance is based on the manipulation of digital data.
