<h2>
BioCatalogue Plugin
</h2>
<h3><small>Version: 0.1.1 (alpha)</small></h3>
<p>
The <em>BioCatalogue plugin</em> is intended to provide access to the data held
in the <em>BioCatalogue Web Services Registry</em> directly from <em>Taverna Workbench</em>.
</p>
<p>
In its current state the plugin is designed to:
<ul>
<li>display the integration capabilities with both BioCatalogue and Taverna;</li>
<li>provide a general idea of the kinds of data that can be fetched
from the Biocatalogue through its REST API;
</li>
<li>attempt to make the workflow composition process easier and provide useful
contextual data to help with understanding of existing workflows.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
This release has made the plugin compatible with the latest version of
Taverna - 2.2. Several important bugs were also fixed, however more new
functionality will be added soon.
</p>
<p>
To learn more about the available functionality, please see the <a href=
"./biocatalogue-plugin-features.html">feature list</a>.
</p>
<p><b>
Please note that this is an incomplete version of the BioCatalogue plugin.
You may see notifications that certain pieces of functionality have not been
implemented yet; some features are not yet fully stable, which means that
occasionally you may see unexpected error messages.
</b></p>
<p>
Any <a href="./biocatalogue-plugin-feedback.html">feedback</a> will be greatly apppreciated - it
will help to understand the true needs of the user community and develop
a complete version of this plugin later in the year.
</p>
<p>
This version of the plugin was developed by Sergejs Aleksejevs as part of his
final year project on the undergraduate Computer Science course at the University of Manchester.
