• • Example requirements:
    • "You can have a Taverna workflow where the "definition" of it is the workflow file and some external jars (and maybe data) on which it relies. I would still consider that group to be the workflow. I'm not sure where support for this would be done." (Alan Williams)
    • "Will anything be done to support the sharing of provenance? A simple example would be an example workflow run to go with a workflow definition, including the re-playing of the run."(Alan Williams)

• Community - (2.5 days)

August

• BioCatalogue Integration: (Jits)
  • Implement BioCatalogue harvesting and caching mechanism.
  • Implement "Services" tab, with Latest Services, Updated Services, etc sub tabs (like on the Workflows tab).
  • Implement a basic service entry view page showing metadata harvested from BioCatalogue, then link through to the main entry in BioCatalogue.
  • Make services searchable from within myExp.
  • Extract the services information from within the processors of Taverna workflows (at the moment we cant parse out enough information to determine the exact services).
  • Link services within workflows to the service entry in myExp (and therefore to the BioCat entry).
  • Implement a search facility to be able to find all the workflows that have a specific service (through API as well) (ie: "retrieve all workflows that use a specific service").
  • Implement a "other workflows using the same services" section on the workflows show page.
  • For non-Taverna workflows, have the ability for users to specify what services their workflow uses.

• Beanshell Repository:
  • Implement the "beanshell" contribution type and all corresponding views/controller/model.
• Community - (2.5 days)

September

• Workflow "basic" (or even "scientific") view - ie: only the essential details of a workflow, without all the social metadata and so on.
  • Exact requirement is: "The ability to view the workflows without all the "boring" bits i.e. to see what it really is doing from a scientific point of view." (Alan Williams)

• BioCatalogue Integration:
  • Update the T2 myExp plugin to include BioCatalogue functionality (part of BioCatalogue workplan as well).

• Beanshell Repository:
  • Update the T2 myExp plugin to take into account beanshells.
• Community - (2.5 days)
