A quick mechanism for people to share myGrid workflows, at http://workflows.mygrid.org.uk.

Possible features:

• Mechanism to auto-test workflows. Overnight polling, checking how many/which of the consisting services are disfunctional/inaccessible. It's likely we can represent workflows as Web services, in which case they become a target for BioNanny^?, and it can do the QoS^? data gathering.

• Quality metrics/QoS metadata.
  • indications which workflows are operational
  • submission date of workflows
  • last successful run

• Top 10 of most popular/downloaded workflows. 5* rating mechamism

• Mechanism to batch upload/delete workflows

• Versioning/evolution of workflows

• Small collection of general use workflows to get people started (cfr. the 4 sequence annotation workflows describing all of Bioinformatics 101)

• Sample inputs for each workflow (also helping to test which workflows are still alive)

• The 'repository' module from Taverna's CVS includes servlets and JSP to allow submission of workflow, autogenerates their diagrams and presents the diagrams with hyperlinks out to larger versions and the HTML summary text as a table. There are TavernaMiniRepositoryInstallationInstructions available.

• WorkflowDocumentationTemplate

• user authentication/quotas

• use AJAX to allow a live search over the summary texts

• semantic search

• integration with Grimoires
