SciCrunch was designed to break down the traditional types of portal silos created by different communities and to enable re-use of annotations and curation efforts across different biomedical domains. The SciCrunch platform (SciCrunch.org) can enable a research community to easily develop their own community-specific resource portal to provide access to resources, such as databases, materials,...

A timeline is presented which shows the stages involved in converting a bioinformatics software application from a set of standalone algorithms through to a simple web based tool then to a web based portal harnessing Grid technologies and on to its latest inception as a Cloud based bioinformatics web tool. The nature of the software is discussed together with a description of its development at...

MapStats for Kids is concerned with the development of online learning activities based on data from the FedStats web portal. The development of these web applications requires that the tools will be useful and usable for students, grades 4-8. In order to assess web applications developed according to the above requirements a range of usability testing methods will be applied within the project.

Grid-enabled portals are becoming increasingly popular for scientific collaboration. Specifically, a portal can be viewed as a Grid-based problem-solving environment (PSE) that allows scientists to access distributed resources, and to monitor and execute distributed Grid applications from a Web browser. This paper describes the Grid-enabled GECEM portal, which serves as a web gateway to computa...

Service-learning projects are becoming more prevalent in Information Systems education. This study explores the benefits and challenges of community-based research, a special kind of a service-learning strategy, in an Information Systems core course on web development. The paper presents a case study of a service-learning project to develop an educational web portal for a second-grade class by ...

This paper presents the ’MediaWatch on Climate Change’, an interactive Web portal that combines a portfolio of semantic services with a visual interface based on tightly coupled views. The interface enables users to access a repository of environmental knowledge, built by crawling about 300,000 news media articles in weekly intervals. Tagging services annotate each article to create a contextua...

Protein sequences are the most important source of evolutionary and functional information for new proteins. In order to facilitate the computationally intensive tasks of sequence analysis, the Similarity Matrix of Proteins (SIMAP) database aims to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date dataset of the pre-calculated sequence similarity matrix and sequence-based features like InterPro domains fo...
