Solution

• Build software as libraries of small tools that each do one task (implement one algorithm).
• The tools and data can be combined together to handle more complex tasks
• The tools and data should have interfaces for different users
• Low level Application Programming Interface (API) for bioinformatics software developers
• Command Line Interface (CLI) for data analysts
• SQL or XML interace for bioinformatics software developers encouranges further analysis of data
• Web or Graphical User Interface (GUI) for end user scientists.
