Abstract
Background: The Distributed Annotation System (DAS) has proven to be a successful way to publish and share
biological data. Although there are more than 750 active registered servers from around 50 organizations, setting
up a DAS server comprises a fair amount of work, making it difficult for many research groups to share their
biological annotations. Given the clear advantage that the generalized sharing of relevant biological data is for the
research community it would be desirable to facilitate the sharing process.
Results: Here we present easyDAS, a web-based system enabling anyone to publish biological annotations with
just some clicks. The system, available at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/panda-srv/easydas is capable of reading different
standard data file formats, process the data and create a new publicly available DAS source in a completely
automated way. The created sources are hosted on the EBI systems and can take advantage of its high storage
capacity and network connection, freeing the data provider from any network management work. easyDAS is an
open source project under the GNU LGPL license.
Conclusions: easyDAS is an automated DAS source creation system which can help many researchers in sharing
their biological data, potentially increasing the amount of relevant biological data available to the scientific
community.
