Notes

PROV-o

• extensions need to be rich enough to support replay/rerun/partial rerun.
• should be able to take in grey-box provenance from external tools.
• needs to capture user actions and decisions.

Components

• Using wfdesc to describe the workflows within components.
  • Using RightField (Note Kristina's observations).
• Validation
  • Interface
  • Runtime (Input/output formats, etc)
• Components are:
  • Independent
  • Encapsulated
  • Self-contained
  • Coherent
  • SP compliant

Annotations

• Should bleed between all tools.
  • So an annotation on a workflow in myExp should be attached to the workflow, not stuck in myExp.
