SRS links: SwissProt to EMBL ID
A GraphViz visualisation of a very simple workflow (just one "Web service") that can be executed with the Taverna workbench.
SRS links is a service can be used to map between different identifiers used to identify biological sequences (e.g. DNA, Protein) in different databases. This particular workflow maps from SWISSPROT ID:Q49SH1 to EMBL ID:AY581204 (and others). The databank parameter specifies the database to search, e.g. uniprot, the fieldname parameter specifies which fields to search e.g. AllText searches all fields and finally the xref_databank parameter specifies the target database to map to e.g. embl. As well as outputtting an EMBL_id the service produces a report on the operation. See e.g. www.ebi.ac.uk/~srs/, srs.ebi.ac.uk or Taverna for more details.
SWISS2EMBL is just one mapping the service can perform, there are many others, because (molecular) biology is drowning in databases...
