Abstract :
The Internet has already deflated our world of working and living into a very small scope, thus bringing out the concept of Earth Village, in which people could communicate and co-work though thousands´ miles far away from each other. This paper describes a prototype, which is just like an Earth Lab for bioinformatics, based on Web services framework to build up a network architecture for bioinformatics research and for world wide biologists to easily implement enormous, complex processes, and effectively share and access computing resources and data, regardless of how heterogeneous the format of the data is and how decentralized and distributed these resources are around the world. A diminutive and simplified example scenario is given out to realize the prototype after that
