The MOBY-S system defines an ontology-based messaging standard through which a client will be able to automatically discover and interact with task-appropriate biological data and analytical service providers, without requiring manual manipulation of data formats as data flows from one provider to the next. The BioMoby project was initiated in 2001 from within the model organism database community. It aimed to standardize methodologies to facilitate information exchange and access to analytical resources, using a consensus driven approach. Six years later, the BioMoby development community is pleased to announce the release of the 1.0 version of the interoperability framework, registry Application Programming Interface and supporting Perl and Java code-bases. Together, these provide interoperable access to over 1400 bioinformatics resources worldwide through the BioMoby platform, and this number continues to grow. Here we highlight and discuss the features of BioMoby that make it distinct from other Semantic Web Service and interoperability initiatives, and that have been instrumental to its deployment and use by a wide community of bioinformatics service providers.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki
A server-based software wiki package written in PHP. It is a powerful, scalable software deigned for high-traffic websites. MediaWiki uses PHP to process and display data stored in a database such as MySQL. When a user submits an edit to a page, MediaWiki writes it to the database without deleting the previous versions, allowing easy reversions. MediaWiki is able to manage image and multimedia files, as well, which are stored in the filesystem.

http://cleversysinc.com/?csi_products=homecagescan
Software used for automatic high throughput analysis of unconstrained rodent behaviors in a home cage. HomeCageScan is ideal for longitudinal studies where several animals are studied and tested over long periods. Its features include twenty-four-hour recording capabilities, statistical analysis, automatic adaptation to environmental changes (including day and night changes), and a batch‐mode which allows user to run multiple videos successively without human intervention. The software can detect various behaviors ranging from feeding and urination to jumping and foraging.

http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/refmac5/description.html
A molecular refinement program with two main modes: REVIEW, which checks and updates the input model to establish that the geometric restraints can be properly set up, and REFINE mode, which is the standard mode and documented in keywords. In REVIEW users can: check model coordinates and write an extended output set of coordinates, find disulphide bonds and other covalent links, cis-peptides, output the sequence and REMARK records. In REFINEMENT mode users can carry out rigid body, tls, restrained or unrestrained refinement against Xray data, or idealisation of a macromolecular structure. Also in REFINEMENT mode, Refmac produces an MTZ output file containing weighted coefficients for SigmaA weighted mFo-DFcalc and 2mFo-DFcalc maps. The program is supported by CCP4.
