Hi Paul,
I love your idea, and this would certainly be a more useful way of
structuring the URLs... IF we could guarantee that the names of workflows
and the display names of users don't change over time. I suppose we could
ask users to provide a perma-name for themselves and their workflows to
achieve this though.
In the BioCatalogue, we have URLs like:
<http://beta.biocatalogue.org/services/1928-ebisearchservice_291308>
... which are slightly more informative and these will never change.
Cheers,
Jits

I thought about that. So, I was thinking of a different mechanism
using some sort of id or name, and then a version number after that.
E.g.
http://www.myexperiment.org/workflows/paul_fisher/qtl_kegg/3
where the persons name is included in the url, then a short name for
the url, then the version number.
I don't know if this is sensible or not. I do know it would be a
re-write of a lot of code though, and would piss a lot of people off.
From my view though, it would let me know who's the workflow was, the
name of the workflow, and the version.
Just a thought. Thanks for the response.
Paul.

Hello,
I'm just looking around on myepxeriment and thought about the urls
of workflows.
The numbering appears to start from 1, then goes up as a new
workflow is added. Is that correct?
I then thought I would try and start at 1 and go up progressively. I
hit number 2, however, and found nothing -
http://www.myexperiment.org/workflows/2
Would this be a case of the workflow being deleted?
If so, is it possible/wise to place a new workflow into the slot of
a now empty/deleted workflow?
It's probably not a good idea to put a new workflow there. Any links
to the old workflow would give the new one. Imagine your paper cites
Katy's wonderful workflow but it is now replaced with my crappy one.
Or, if your workflow included Katy's but now pulled in mine.
It's better for myExperiment to say the workflow has gone missing
rather than "lie" when asked for it.
regards,
Paul.
