This workflow fetches weather forecast for the user-specified location. First of all it uses the provided location name to obtain a WOEID ("Where On Earth ID") of that location, then uses that unique identifier to fetch the weather forecast from Yahoo server. Multiple results may be obtained in case there is no unique translation of the location to a WOEID.

EBI_InterproScan_NewServices (1)
