~~NOTOC~~

The BioCatalogue is a registry of biological Web Services. The BioCatalogue website is freely accessible to the world as it is searchable and indexable to search engines. It provides an open platform for biological Web Services registration, annotation and monitoring.

Our Goals:

Provide a single registration point for Web Service providers and a single search site for scientists and developers.
Provide a curated catalogue of life science web services
Providers, Expert curators and Users will provide oversight, monitor the catalogue and provide high quality annotations for services.
BioCatalogue as a place where the community can find, contact and meet the experts and maintainers of these services.

The BioCatalogue is a BBSRC funded project and has been running since 1st June 2008. The project is a joint venture between the University of Manchester (led by Carole Goble) and the EMBL-EBI (led by Rodrigo Lopez).
