EndResult:

The intermediate results generated after each service operation in a workflow is stored in the MyGridInformationRepository (MIR). In addition, provenance metadata about the service instance and service operation, e.g. instance location, input data, parameters specified, resources used by the service operation, that is responsible for each intermediate result is stored in the MIR as well as other metadata about the intermediate result (concept type, syntactic type, date, time). Both intermediate results and metadata need to be associated with the workflow instance record in the MIR.
