Hello,

Some info on work being done for the next gen Taverna workbench...

Yesterday we carried out a short exercise to populate some workflow 
components in an early version of the Taverna workflow components library.

25 workflow components were contributed, with some metadata and 
information to describe how to use them.

We will be gathering many more over the next few weeks.

Once the components library is deployed into a production environmentwe 
will send out a link so everyone can take a look and contribute/comment.

The plans are:

Short term:
- Hook this up into the next gen workbench (so it's searchable via the 
components palette).
- Mine many more components from myExperiment, BioCatalogue, the old 
Shims library and other sources.
- Make it much easier to point to existing myExperiment workflows and 
BioCatalogue services and "wrap" them as a component. (Note: myExp and 
BioCat will already be search sources in the next gen workbench).
- Make the components library "live" and accessible to a wider audience 
(so anyone could potentially contribute components).

Longer term:
- Continue to curate existing components and start to form "component 
families".
- Build a set of myGrid "approved" components that will ship with the 
next gen workbench.

Jits
