2. Genesis 11:1-9
1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2 And it
came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the
land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3 And they said one to another, Go to,
let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone,
and slime had they for mortar. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a
city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven;
and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the
whole earth. 5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which
the children built. 6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they
have all one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be
restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go
down, and there confound their language, that they
may not understand one another's speech. 8 So the Lord
scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they
left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because
the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did
the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Editor's Notes
The Tower of Babel - Story Summary:
Up until this point in the Bible, the whole world had one language - one common speech for all people. The people of the earth became skilled in construction and decided to build a city with a tower that would reach to heaven. By building the tower they wanted to make a name for themselves and also prevent their city from being scattered.
God came to see their city and the tower they were building. He perceived their intentions, and in His infinite wisdom, He knew this "stairway to heaven" would only lead the people away from God. He noted the powerful force within their unity of purpose. As a result, God confused their language, causing them to speak different languages so they would not understand each other. By doing this, God thwarted their plans. He also scattered the people of the city all over the face of the earth.
God says in Genesis 11:6, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them." (NIV) God realizes that when people are unified in purpose they can accomplish impossible feats, both noble and ignoble. This is why unity in the body of Christ is so important.
We are exposed to a very diverse service world
The idea behind EnCORE is simplified in this picture
Input (our query) is contained in a XML standard format called EnXML
We can run different services over this input.
We get results contained in the same EnXML format
The Outputs can be use as inputs of other services.
This is a generic example of how an EnCORE service work
An specific example
The query is a protein Acc
We run the Intact service
We get the interactions result defined by the EnXML terminology
EnCORE facilitates building workflows
EnVISION results are nice, but do not forget our initial integration problem
For one domain (protein interaction, pathways, protein sequence …) we might have several databases providing data
EnCORE provides a great solution however it is not complete if it can not include more resources
For EnCORE it is not feasible to develop and maintain so many wrappers.
Nonetheless EnCORE can overcome this problem using standards and federated systems
EnVISION is an EnCORE interface
With just one click user can run different services get a quick overview for a dataset
This example shows result for …
Here an example of the potential of EnVISION
In this example we used a dataset of more than 300 protein Acc.
In this screenshot EnVISION was able to find more than 500 pathways for this dataset.
EnVISION is capable to link and display positive results in a pathway map.
Integration of biological data of various types and development of adapted bioinformatics tools represent critical objectives to enable research at the systems level. The European Network of Excellence ENFIN is engaged in developing an adapted infrastructure to connect databases, and platforms to enable both generation of new bioinformatics tools and experimental validation of computational predictions. Beyond the use of common standards to format individual datasets, there is a need for sophisticated informatics platforms to enable mining data across various domains, sources, formats and types. The aim of the EnCORE project is to integrate across different disciplines an extensive list of database resources and analysis tools in a computationally accessible and extensible manner, facilitating automated data retrieval and processing with a special focus on systems biology. The EnCORE platform is available as a collection of webservices with a common standard format easy to integrate in Workflow management software such as Taverna. Additionally EnCORE services are also accessible thought EnVISION, a web graphical user interface providing elaborated information such as molecular interaction, biological pathways and computational models of pathways.
