The design and realisation of the Virtual Research Environment for social sharing of workflows
2009
Future generations computer systems
Workflows offer explicit representations of computational methods, and have long been recognized as a crucial element of scientific discourse [Gil et al 07]. A workflow can be seen as a software instrument that offers a new lens on data. Treating workflows as science currency could change the practice, accelerate the pace, and broaden participation in scientific endeavors: Scientific discovery would advance at a faster pace if computational methods were published in an operational form so they could be readily inspectable and reusable.
