  abstract     = {Web services have become a key technology for bioinformatics, since life science databases are globally decentralized and the exponential increase in the amount
 of available data demands for efficient systems without the need to transfer entire databases for every step of an analysis. However, various incompatibilities among database re
sources and analysis services make it difficult to connect and integrate these into interoperable workflows. To resolve this situation, we invited domain specialists from web ser
vice providers, client software developers, Open Bio* projects, the BioMoby project and researchers of emerging areas where a standard exchange data format is not well establishe
d, for an intensive collaboration entitled the BioHackathon 2008. The meeting was hosted by the Database Center for Life Science (DBCLS) and Computational Biology Research Center
 (CBRC) and was held in Tokyo from February 11th to 15th, 2008. In this report we highlight the work accomplished and the common issues arisen from this event, including the stan
dardization of data exchange formats and services in the emerging fields of glycoinformatics, biological interaction networks, text mining, and phyloinformatics. In addition, com
mon shared object development based on BioSQL, as well as technical challenges in large data management, asynchronous services, and security are discussed. Consequently, we impro
ved interoperability of web services in several fields, however, further cooperation among major database centers and continued collaborative efforts between service providers an
d software developers are still necessary for an effective advance in bioinformatics web service technologies.},
