I just had a brief look at Ensembl Hive and there are a lot of (probably 
inevitable) analogies with what Taverna has e.g. Process v 
Processor/Activity, Dataflow v Datalink, AnalysisCtrlRule v Condition.

some type of user-interaction, then it cannot be done the same way as 
when running the workflow within the workbench.
