Staff Exchange Between University Bordeaux Segalen And Max Planck Institute Of Molecular Plant Physiology
Submitted by jahu on Mon, 04/15/2013 - 14:25Between April 22nd and May 3rd Benjamin Dartigues from Macha Nikolski’s group at the University Bordeaux Segalen will visit the Bioinformatics Group at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology.
Main goal of this collaboration is to port the XEML framework for the generation of machine readable metadata for biological experiments from Microsoft Windows™ towards other operating system as well. In detail, while the current XEML Interactive Designer makes extensively use of the mostly Windows targeted .Net framework, it is the idea to port those software parts to Qt™ (http://qt-project.org/) code and use the mono project (http://www.mono-project.com/) as .Net compatible runtime environment. The software development process includes integration of new ontologies into XEML and interfaces for the MetaboLights web site using the ISA-Tabs standard and shall be tested and extended where necessary.
