COVID-19 BioHackathon (2020-04-05 / 2020-04-11)

Workflow Hub is one of the topics at the Virtual COVID-19 BioHackathon:

This topic proposes to set up an early pre-production instance of the Workflow Hub, covid19.workflowhub.eu, to be a registry that gather the COVID-19 workflows and their metadata. Part of the tasks here is also to curate the existing workflows and help making them interoperable, reusable and reproducible.

The curated metadata will be in a FAIR format based on RO-Crate and BioSchemas annotations and maintained separate from the Workflow Hub; where possible contributed back to the workflow's origin GitHub repositories.

Anyone is welcome to join!

• Workflow Hub User Requirements
• Minimal Viable Product - leading to https://dev.workflowhub.eu/
• Minimum Information for the Registration of a Computational Workflow (MIRCW) lead to Workflow RO-Crate
• Workflow RO-Crate a profile of RO-Crate for exchange of workflows with WorkflowHub; based on BioSchemas Workflows profile
• Primer on standards for workflow packaging and metadata draft

• SEEK is the underlying platform used by the Workflow Hub
• RO Crate is a metadata/packaging mechanism, used by Workflow Hub for exchange of workflows
• BioSchemas Workflows - a suggested new schema.org type for describing computational workflows
• Common Workflow Language (CWL) is an executable workflow language, which Workflow Hub use primarily for descriptive functions

Workflow repositories

Workflow Hub intends to harvest workflows from existing workflow repositories, including:

• myExperiment was a workflow repository that inspired Workflow Hub
• nf-core - a community-developed colletions of bioinformatics workflows for Nextflow
• https://usegalaxy.eu/
