Hi Stuart, Kepler supports both the ability to tag actors with OWL-DL classes and also actor input and output ports (i.e., the mechanism for connecting workflow components).
Also, a number of tools were developed within Kepler to facilitate "electronic lab notebook" like features, such as provenance (capturing input, output, and intermediate data of a workflow run, as well as tools for querying and browsing), and reporting tools.
