BioCatalogue Presentation @ Enabling Systems Biology 2011, by Jiten BhagatBioCatalogue
The BioCatalogue is a public, centralized registry of life science web services that allows users to register, discover, annotate, and monitor web services. It aims to address the challenges of discovering, understanding, and keeping track of the thousands of publicly available web services. Key features include web service registration, annotation with descriptions, tags, and categories, keyword search and filtering. The BioCatalogue has over 18,000 unique visitors from 130+ countries and provides APIs for programmatic access. It also includes tools for mass curation of web services and plans to release mobile apps. Lessons learned include that describing web services is difficult and comprehensive APIs and functional views are needed beyond technical SOAP/REST views.

The 2040 Imperative: Zero Emissions by 2040Guy Dauncey
This document outlines the urgent need for Canada to reduce carbon emissions to zero by 2040 to help limit global warming to 2°C. It provides various scenarios showing how annual reductions in CO2 emissions of between 5-50% of 2015 levels would impact the year by which zero emissions could be achieved and the total emissions released before reaching zero. It advocates for transitioning to renewable energy across electricity, transportation, buildings, and industry while winding down fossil fuel production and subsidies. The document argues this transition could create jobs and presents an optimistic view of humanity's ability to transition to a sustainable future powered by renewable energy like solar.
