[Myexperiment-discuss] myExperiment talks this week in Indianapolis

[David De Roure]

Hello from a week of e-Science in Indianapolis - it's the Microsoft eScience 
workshop (where we're presenting myExperiment and Biocatalogue on Tuesday) and 
the 4th IEEE International Conference on e-Science (where myExperiment appears 
in the regular conference and the SWBES workshop, both on Wednesday).  We'd be 
very pleased to meet with any of you who are at these events - we even have 
myExperiment stickers for you :-)

Meanwhile I'm gathering some recent examples to use in the talks so I thought 
I'd mail this list. I'd like to hear from people who, through using 
myExperiment, have found workflows that have helped them in their research, and 
to know how the research has benefited.  This is the sort of information we 
can't get from site statistics alone - they really don't tell me anything about 
the science people are doing!  So it would be great to have some examples of 
what people are up to. Please feel free to mail the list or mail me 
personally...

Thanks in advance, and I look forward to seeing some of you this week.

The myExperiment team is very pleased to announce that myExperiment can now 
store any type of workflow, not just Taverna ones.  This means that you can 
upload any file as a workflow which can then be shared, discovered, downloaded, 
tagged, rated, commented on, added to packs and so on.

We already have some Trident workflows, and some experimental plans from 
chemistry (Usefulchem EXPLANS). You can upload your own types of workflows by 
going to the upload workflow page (you may be asked to log in). If we can't 
automatically detect the type of workflow and infer data from it (like title 
and description) you can provide this by selecting the "Enter custom metadata" 
option in step 2.

Note that we currently provide extended support for Taverna 1 workflows only - 
we can automatically detect the type, parse title/description metadata, 
generate preview images, view the internals and enact these workflows all 
directly in myExperiment. In the coming months we aim to work with our user 
communties to provide extended support for other types of workflows.

If you would like to get involved in providing extended support for other types 
of workflows then please contact us. We are keen to work with you in getting 
myExperiment to support as many other workflows types as possible.

Thanks again for all your support!
