| This RFP solicits proposals for a standard representation of the attributes of any compound collection, irrespective of structural format. |
| ||
| This RFP solicits proposals which define query interfaces, data structures, and object models in support of collection, storage, retrieval, management, curation, exchange, and analysis of the data involved in representing the objects and processes related to single nucleotide polymorphisms and related information. Status: voting on to become an adopted specification.
|
| ||
| The RFP addresses the need for standardized access to analysis tools in the life sciences. This RFP solicits proposals for: describing analysis tools' function and parameters; executing them, submitting and retrieving data from them; and recording their data provenance. Status: voting on to become an adopted specification.

| The recently approved Gene Expression specification (dtc/02-02-05) brings standardization to gene expression experiments through the definition of the MAGE-ML XML format. One further area that can benefit from standardization is querying a repository of gene expression experiments and returning the results of those queries from the repository. This RFP solicits proposals for such a Gene Expression Query Service. |
| ||
| The RFP addresses the need for a standardized naming schema for biological entities in the Life Sciences domains, the need for a service assigning unique identifiers complying with such a naming schema, and the need for a resolving service that specifies how to get the entities identified by such a naming schema from repositories. |

| Although considerable progress has been made in representing metabolic and, to a lesser extent, signaling/regulatory pathways, there has been little integration of the various data models in these areas. Furthermore, as we move from the static representation of relationships among bio-objects to the modeling of their dynamic behavior, additional requirements for more complex representation appear, particularly for the processes (reactions, pathways, control effects) involved. This RFP solicits proposals which define interfaces, data structures, and object models in support of collection, storage, retrieval, management, curation, communication, and analysis of the data involved in representing the objects and processes related to biochemical pathways. |
| ||
| The primary reason for issuing a new RFI is to take advantage of the OMG's new Model Driven Architecture (MDA). By leveraging its modeling specifications, such as UML, the OMG has significantly broadened its architectural approach. New technology submissions will be required to have a middleware-independent model, with one or more corresponding models for specific middleware platforms such as CORBA, Enterprise Java Beans, XML, or SOAP. |
| ||
| This RFP solicits proposals that define interfaces and device states in support of deterministic, device-independent remote control of laboratory equipment. The proposals should build upon the LECIS and Device Capability Dataset specifications. LECIS Adopted Specification LECIS FTF LECIS FTF issues

| Chemistry is at the heart of drug discovery research. The informatics issues faced by researchers related to chemistry in the pharmaceutical and other industries are many and often difficult. Access to the complex information associated with chemical entities is needed throughout the research and development process. The number of compounds to analyze is increasing rapidly. Researchers require flexible and interoperable computer applications to analyze these large complex data sets. Software developers need access to robust distributed components to deliver this software to scientists. The objective of this RFP is to address these issues by soliciting proposals for the specification of appropriate CORBA interfaces for accessing, representing and manipulating both individual 2-D chemical structures and collections of structures. |

| This RFP solicits proposals for specifications of services for the analysis of biological macromolecular sequence data and associated information, including facilities for their representation, manipulation, and analysis. This RFP focuses on services for sequence analysis and does not cover graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for the display and visualization of these data. Final adopted specification for Biomolecular Sequence Analysis OpenBSA: An Open Source Initiative to implement adopted specification |
| ||
| This RFP solicits proposals on specifications of services for the representation and interchange of genomic maps and their contents. The graphical representation of such maps as well as any user interfaces and storage mechanisms are considered implementation specific and fall outside the scope of this RFP. Proposals should address the standardization issue through the use of IDL interfaces, formal descriptions of the behaviors of objects expressed by this einterfaces, and, where necessary, clear statements of the biological concepts represented by them.
