Hello all, One of the main goals of the next gen Taverna workbench [1] is to further improve usability during the workflow design process. Building on top of Taverna 2's Services, Processors and Activities we are introducing "Workflow Components" as a common abstraction layer for things that can be added to a workflow. A major aspect of this is providing a more functional view of the things that can be added and making these components portable so that they can be easily published, shared and annotated. The plan is to also have a central myGrid workflow components library where many common components, shims, helpers and so on can live and be updated, with the workbench directly connected to this (as well as BioCatalogue and myExperiment).
I've put together our current thinking and design on the wiki and would greatly appreciate any feedback, comments, suggestions, etc: http://www.mygrid.org.uk/dev/wiki/display/TNG/Workflow+Components This is a work in progress and we would like to continue iterating on the design and stabilise it, with your help. There is still a lot more that I need to add to the wiki page, so please feel free to ask for clarification on anything on there. Regards, Jits [1] More info about this can be found here: http://www.mygrid.org.uk/dev/wiki/display/TNG/Preview+1. Please note, this is very much a work in progress and subject to changes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
