This is a snapshot of the EvoIO wiki taken in June 2015. The live version is currently at http://evoio.org. The EvoIO collaboration emerged in 2009 from several NESCent-sponsored activities that focused on software and data interoperability for evolutionary analysis, including the Evolutionary Informatics working group (2006-2009), and the Evolutionary Database Interoperability hackathon (2009). EvoIO aims to be a nucleating center for developing, applying and disseminating interoperability technology that connects and coordinates between stakeholders, developers, and standards bodies. Members of the EvoIO group, which include biologists and computer scientists, have over the past 3 years harnessed a variety of collaborative events to successfully build an initial stack of interoperability technologies that is owned by the community and open to participation: NeXML, a NEXUS-inspired XML format that is validatable yet extensible CDAO, an ontology of comparative data analysis formalizing the semantics of evolutionary data and metadata; and PhyloWS, a web-services interface standard for querying, retrieving, and referencing phylogenetic data on the web.
