| Architecture & Roadmap WG | Chair: Juan Esteva |
| Mission: To develop a life sciences research domain reference architecture (within the Object Management Architecture) and develop and maintain a roadmap of LSR activities. The architecture comprises a partitioning of the the domain into sub-units and the relationships amongst those units. The roadmap is the LSR-DSIG strategic plan, comprising a high-level summary of past activities and a prioritization and schedule of planned activities leading to the adoption of all technology in the architecture. | |
Bibliographic Service WG (retired with honor) | Chairs: Alex Bangs, David Benton | |
| Mission: To promote development and adoption of interfaces and services supporting the use of bibliographic citation information. | |
| Biochemical Pathways WG | Chair: Steve Chervitz |
| Mission: To integrate existing models of biochemical pathways as well as to define more dynamic relationships for pathways through flexible and robust interface specifications, data models, etc. | |
| Cheminformatics WG | Chair: Richard Scott |
| Mission: To drive the development and adoption of flexible and robust interface specifications for information system components in support of Chemical entities in the context of drug discovery research. | |
| Gene Expression WG | Chair: Charles Troup |
| Mission: To promote development and adoption of interfaces and services supporting microarray gene expression data collection, management, retrieval, and analysis. | |
| LECIS WG | Chair: Torsten Staab |
| Mission: To promote development and adoption of interfaces and services supporting the Laboratory Equipment Control Interface Specification (ASTM). | |
| Macromolecular Structure WG | Chair: Douglas Greer |
| Mission: To promote development and adoption of interfaces for the processing and distribution of 3-D structure data of biological macromolecules. | |
| Maps WG (retired with honor) | Chair: Patricia Rodriguez-Tome |
| Mission: To define, plan, and develop LSR activities in the sub-domain of biological maps, for example, genetic maps, physical maps, contig maps, transcript maps, radiation hybrid maps and cytogenetic maps. | |
| Sequence Analysis WG | Chair: n/a |
| Mission: To define, plan, and develop LSR activities in the sub-domain of biological sequence analysis | |
| Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms WG | Chair: Tokio Kano |
| Mission: To promote the development and adoption of interfaces and services supporting Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) data collection, management, retrieval, and analysis. | |
| Web Pages WG | Chair: Richard Scott |
| Mission: To develop, maintain, and distribute the LSR web site. | |
| Workflow WG (retired temporarily) | Chair: n/a |
| Mission (proposal): To adopt and/or to design a management system which would describe and control a flow of data between software components that may or may not include manual intervention between steps. Such sets of components can represent scientific experiments. The control includes scheduling, execution, tracking, monitoring, and manipulation of workflow elements. The software components can represent, but are not limited to, data, analysis, materials, and protocols. | |
