190 9 The Transformation Process
Figure 9.3 An example of a myGrid workflow. The type of action performed by
each node in the workflow is indicated by its color (not shown).- A statistical analysis transforms survey information into statistical mea-
surements.
- The myGrid project supports in silico experiments by providing tools for
managing, sharing and reusing the results, recording their provenance
and the methods used to generate the results.
9.2 Presentation of Information
The dissemination of biological knowledge is steadily being transferred from
traditional print media to the web. Research papers are increasingly being
used to document data that has been produced by a laboratory and that are
available on the Internet. Many research contracts explicitly require that data
be disseminated on the Internet, and data made available this way are heav-
ily used by other laboratories. Accordingly, it is important that laboratory
websites be properly maintained and up to date.
