The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: Prospect DSLIP: bdpOo description: I'face to Prospect protein threading package userid: REECE (Reece Hart) chapterid: 24 (Commercial_Software_Interfaces) communities: SourceForge (project pending)
similar: none similar; related: Bio:: and CompBio:: trees rationale: Rationale for the module ------------------------ There are no existing perl interfaces to the Prospect package; this module is unique. We have endeavored to use other packages where possible (e.g., Bio:: (aka bioperl)). Rationale for the namespace --------------------------- The major reason for choosing Prospect:: over a package name within the Bio:: or CompBio:: trees is that those are to be broad names assigned to small groups of individuals. In particular, Bio:: is a big chunk of namespace assigned to a group with enforced coding guidelines. bioperl would probably not accept any package which doesn't adhere to their coding guidelines. I like ontologies and organization. If you can think of an appropriate place to stick this module (be nice) then I'm happy to discuss it. One possibility is to start a new tree with a designed hierarchy and that is not owned by a single group. E.g., Biology:: Entities:: Sequence Structure Gene Protein Alignment ... GUI:: ... Tools:: Prospect:: BLAST:: I know that there has been discussion on the bioperl mailing list regarding breaking Bio:: up into subtrees in order to address this issue, but I'm not aware of any progress on this yet.
