A Resourceomic Grid for bioinformatics

In this work we revise the layered software architecture for the Knowledge Grid by explicitly introducing the concept of Resourceome, i.e. an “alive” ontology of resources. This approach is necessary to tackle the challenges posed by the “ome” status, reached by the world of bioinformatics resources. The resulting software architecture, a Resourceomic Grid, integrates components to support issues like awareness, discovery, integration and abstraction of resources.
