myExperiment is a collaborative environment where scientists can safely publish their workflows and in silico experiments, share them with groups and find those of others. Workflows, other digital objects and bundles (called Packs) can now be swapped, sorted and searched like photos and videos on the Web. Unlike Facebook or MySpace, myExperiment fully understands the needs of the researcher and makes it really easy for the next generation of scientists to contribute to a pool of scientific methods, build communities and form relationships - reducing time-to-experiment, sharing expertise and avoiding reinvention. myExperiment is now the largest public repository of scientific workflows. It supports Linked Data, and new features for workflow preservation are under development in the Wf4Ever project, one of several Partner Projects

For myExperiment Users

The myexperiment.org social web site, launched in November 2007, contains the largest public collection of workflows across multiple workflow systems including Taverna (over 2000 workflows) and is used by thousands of users ranging from life sciences and chemistry to social statistics and music information retrieval. Go to www.myexperiment.org to access publicly available content or create an account.

See our User Pages for Features, FAQ, Videos and Roadmap.

For myExperiment Developers

All the myExperiment services are accessible through simple RESTful programming interfaces, Linked Data and a SPARQL endpoint so that you can use your existing environment and augment it with myExperiment functionality – or build entirely new interfaces and functionality mashups.

See our Developer Pages for Developer Projects and Documentation.

News and Events

Wf4Ever logo

The Workflow Forever project (Wf4Ever) held its first annual review in the Netherlands this month. Wf4Ever is focused on the preservation of workflows and Research Objects and is developing new functionality for myExperiment.

See our News pages for information about this and other events.

See our About pages for Papers, Presentations, Mentions and Partner Projects

myExperiment is brought to you by a joint team from Oxford, Southampton and Manchester universities in the UK, led by David De Roure and Carole Goble. Originally funded by JISC and the Microsoft Technical Computing Initiative, the project is part of the myGrid and e-Research South consortia supported by EPSRC. New features are under development in the Wf4Ever project. See also our sister project BioCatalogue.
