About

This website describes the open source project for developing and running WorkflowHub: a FAIR registry for describing, sharing and publishing scientific computational workflows. The registry is sponsored by the European RI Cluster EOSC-Life, the European Research Infrastructure ELIXIR, and multiple EU-wide projects.

WorkflowHub:

  • Is a domain-agnostic workflow registry designed around FAIR principles.
  • Is workflow management system agnostic: workflows may remain in their native repositories in their native forms.
  • Provides features such as community spaces, collections, versioning and snapshots, and contributor credit.
  • Allows workflows to be FAIR, citable, have managed metadata profiles, and be openly available for review and analytics.

In addition:

For more details, see FAIR Computational Workflows, Outreach and Publications.

For any kind of questions, or suggestions on using WorkflowHub, feel free to join our community!

Get involved

Community

While WorkflowHub is largely developed as a collaboration between several projects, any contributors are welcome to join our open community.

Anyone can join the WorkflowHub club! Either sign up on GitHub issue #1 or join the next bi-weekly Zoom call and introduce yourself.

See the list of WorkflowHub Club members on the acknowledgements page.

Development

Created as part of the EOSC-Life WP2 Tools Collaboratory, WorkflowHub is in production but still under active development. See the roadmap page for a list of in-flight and future development activities.

You can also see a complete list of contributors on the acknowledgements page.

Contact Us

The production instance https://workflowhub.eu/ is hosted by eScience Lab at The University of Manchester led by professor Carole Goble.

WfCommons and WorkflowHub

Note that the US-based WfCommons, a Python-based framework for enabling scientific workflow research and development, was previously called "WorkflowHub". While that framework is not related to our registry workflowhub.eu, this name collision could cause some confusion, so in common agreement with Rafael Ferreira da Silva, their former domain name workflowhub.org now kindly redirect to our workflow registry https://workflowhub.eu/, their framework was renamed to "WfCommons" and moved to https://wfcommons.org/ and their Python package workflowhub was renamed wfcommons.

Code of conduct

This project has a Code of Conduct to ensure interactions are friendly, respectful and inclusive. You can contact [email protected] if you have any concerns or questions.

Retention and End-of-Life policy

WorkflowHub's sustainability plan is to ensure the availability of its contributions and metadata up to and beyond 2027. If and when the WorkflowHub reaches its end of service after that, the published contributions and metadata will be archived as RO-Crates and made available through a public repository, such as Zenodo, Figshare or another appropriate resource at that time. DOI registrations will in this case be updated to link to the archived deposits.
