LifeWatch e-LabThe ultimate goal of LifeWatch is to set up a network for data exchange and data analysis through web services. Web services are systems that allow communication between two computers over the web, and allow the user to access the most recent and up-to-date information directly from within other applications. In the framework of LifeWatch Belgium, several web services are being developed to standardize, analyze and visualize your data, and to extract additional data. An online tool was developed where users can select several web services at once in an easy, user friendly way. In this online interface the majority of the web services built by the Belgian LifeWatch partners are available. These web services can also be used in a concatenated way, where the output of one web services is the input for the next web service. This is demonstrated in a few use cases. |
The online interface of the Belgian LifeWatch e-Lab is developed by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ).
The LifeWatch.be data services are written in the PHP scripting language and are based on a MS SQL server. The entire LifeWatch.be e-Lab application runs on an Apache server which is installed on a Windows pc.
