Taverna 2 Web Demonstrator client interface
---------------------------------------------------------

The Taverna 2 Web Demonstrator client interface -
http://www.taverna.org.uk/download/server is an small example of how
web pages can run workflows on a Taverna 2 Server. Although it is not
intended to be a fully-functional robust web interface to the server,
it does expose some of the server's capabilities. The Demonstrator uses a
Ruby gem for accessing the Server’s REST interface.

Taverna 2 Ruby gem
---------------------------

The gem provides access to the Taverna 2 Server REST interface from Ruby.
The is available from http://rubygems.org/gems/t2-server and its source 
code
from http://github.com/myGrid/t2-server-gem.

--------------------------------------------------------

Taverna 2 Server Release 1 is also available as a virtual machine that
can be run in a suitable host environment, such as VirtualBox. The
Virtual Machine includes the server and the demonstrator client
interface.
