DigInfo – movie.diginfo.tv C3W, or Clip, Connect and Clone for the Web is a form of a web mash up system as Dr. Anan Lunzer of the Meme Media Laboratory of Hokkaido University explains Professor Yuzuru Tanaka has been working on meme Media Technology for nearly 20 years and C3W is the result of applying this technology to the web. The basic idea is that by using C3W users can build their own information access interfaces that draw together elements of many existing web applications. The c3w browser lets us clip the region of any single HTML tag within a web page, then place it onto a substrate called a C3 sheet. We then submit a sample inquiry to the web application, and from the delivered result pages, we clip whichever aspects of the results which are of interest. The input and result elements that have been clipped continue to work as they did within their web pages by performing the appropriate web site navigation behind the scenes. Cells on the C3 sheet corresponding to elements clipped from the web applications, can be connected using spreadsheet style formulas. This allows results from one or more applications to be fed to the inputs of another application, without this automation, the user would have to do lots of copying and pasting as we normally do when using a web browser. If format conversion of the results is needed along the way, this could be included within the formula, and of course, the formula can also call on custom procedures written in the …

Aberrant changes to the sugars attached to proteins have been associated with cancer, congenital disorders, osteoarthritis, drug resistance and infectious diseases. The study of changes in these sugars, glycoproteomics, is a challenging analytical problem because of the complexity and heterogeneity of sugar structures and protein attachment sites. We have developed a bioinformatic tool, GlycoSpectrumScan, which helps the researcher find the sugar differences from experimental datasets obtained by mass spectrometric analysis. The tool, with its highly flexible and user friendly interface, drastically reduces the computational efforts by glycobiologists and substantially reduces the data analysis time, speeding the rate of discovery of new sugar biomarkers of disease.
