OpenMinTeD: Open Mining Infrastructure for Text & Data

GCC2019

OpenMinTeD is dedicated to offering advanced high-quality TDM-related services to researchers, TDM experts, SMEs and industry – anyone interested in making sense and extracting hidden knowledge from the huge bulks of scientific and scholarly content. Galaxy is used to build and execute workflows on the platform. Sign in to the platform, choose Add in the menu and then Applications. Then choose Build an application with existing components to access the Galaxy-based workflow editor. To run a workflow use the Process menu item.

Guidelines and other support material are available. Anyone can create a login. Galaxy can be used to build workflows, but interactive use of Galaxy is restricted - i.e. you cannot interact with the history. The execution of workflows happens via the the platform.

OpenMinTeD will be presented at GCC2019.

Releases

New additions (and editions) in the Galaxy Ecosystem.

Galaxy v 19.05

The May 2019 Galaxy release comes with additional user-facing release notes, and the full release notes as well. Big improvements in this release include a rewrite of the login and registration system, and improvements in workflow expressivity.

Pulsar 0.13.0

Pulsar

Pulsar is a Python server application that allows a Galaxy server to run jobs on remote systems (including Windows) without requiring a shared mounted file systems. Unlike traditional Galaxy job runners - input files, scripts, and config files may be transferred to the remote system, the job is executed, and the results are transferred back to the Galaxy server - eliminating the need for a shared file system.
