 This situation prevents these services to be popularized for and used in combination by end users as a infrastructure of the daily research.
 The BioMOBY project has been tried to overcome the circumstances by defining ontologies for data types and methods used in the services.
-But the set of data types and methods gathered in BioMOBY are redundant and complicated to generate typical workflows for end users.
-Besides, some of the major service providers are not included yet.
+But the set of data types and methods gathered in BioMOBY looks redundant and complicated to generate typical workflows for end users.
+Besides, some of the major service providers are not included in the BioMOBY framework yet.
+In DBCLS, we are trying to develop a new proxy server which translates user's request for the appropriate web service provider.
+The server will also converts the query and result to the simplified/unified data types, say "50 basic bioinformatics data types" (might be a subset of BioMOBY).
+Anyway, interoperability can be significantly improved if all Bio* libraries supports them and we just need a practical environment for bioinformatics.
 Thus, we believe gathering all web service providers and Open Bio* library developers to disucuss about the standardization of objects and methods among web services and programming languages must benefit usability and interoperability for the life science in the next era.
