SSWAP: Simple Semantic Web Architecture and Protocol

The SSWAP project is located: http://sswap.info/

SSWAP aims to make web-services semantically aware of one another. This is achieved in a two step process:

1. Marking up tools that "advertise" what data they consume, the manipulations/analyses they perform, and the analytical results/data they emit.
2. Marking up data and sending it to a semantic web orchestrator that can find web-services that may operate on said data.

In collaboration with Damian Gessler (sswap@iplantcollaborative.org), the SSWAP project lead, CoGe is becoming sematically aware.

The first step was marking up FASTA data produced by FastaView and sending them to the SSWAP orchestrator http://sswap.iplantcollaborative.org .

This was accomplished by:

Creating an appropriate JSON object string containing the sequence data and appropriate tags:

var myseq = $('#seq_text').val();
var jsonRRG= {
   "prefix": {
       "data": "http://sswapmeet.sswap.info/data/",
       "mime": "http://sswapmeet.sswap.info/mime/",
       "seq": "http://sswapmeet.sswap.info/sequence/"
   },
   "http://sswap.info/examples/resources/canonical/canonicalResource": {},
   "mapping": {"_:subject" : "_:object"},
   "definitions" : {
   		      "_:subject" : {},
		      "_:object" : {
		      		     "rdf:type" : "seq:FASTA",
				     "data:literalData" : myseq
				   }
		    },
};
var jsonString = JSON.stringify(jsonRRG);

And then sending it to sswap.iplantcollaborative.org (Presented using jquery and causes sswap.iplantc to open in a different window/tab)

var url = "http://sswap.iplantcollaborative.org/ipc/create-pipeline-with-rrg";
var myForm = document.createElement("FORM");
myForm.method="post" ;
myForm.action=url;
myForm.setAttribute("target", "_blank");
var myInput = document.createElement("textarea");
myInput.name="rrg";
myInput.value=jsonString;
myForm.appendChild(myInput);
document.body.appendChild(myForm);
myForm.submit();
document.body.removeChild(myForm);
