This option allows you to register a workflow in two ways, uploading or referencing. Uploading will store the workflow itself in the repository, whereas referencing will only link to it. There are benefits to both options, the first ensures that the workflow is still available even if the source disappears, the second links to a version which is always up to date with the latest modifications.

The main workflow file

You can either upload a local file or give a remote URL that links towards a workflow file.

Filling in the metadata

The next page is basically a form to gather the necessary meta data that will be inclosed in the RO-crate.

The fields:

  • Title*: This field is mandatory

  • Description: In this field it is possible to write some documentation that will be showed on the workflow page.

  • Projects*: Every workflow registration is linked to one or more projects. If you can not select the correct project, please go to Joining a project.

  • License: The standard license is Apache Software License 2.0. If you did not make the workflow yourself, be sure that the license corresponds to the license where you took the workflow from (for example github licenses )

  • Sharing: Specify who can view the summary, get access to the content, and edit the Workflow. This is possibly already filled in according to the selected project.

  • Tags: Choose an appropriate tag for your workflow. Please check if your tag is already available and use the existing one if so. If you make a new tag, keep it simple without capitals or spaces. For example all new covid-19 workflows will be tagged with covid-19.

  • Creators: This is an important section where all the people that where involved in making/publishing this workflow are listed. These creators will be added to the metadata in the RO-crate. More details can be found below.

    3 sections are used to specify the contributors or creators of the workflow.

    1. So far you have specified the following creators
      This is by default filled in with No creators.

    2. Please type creators into the box below - suggestions will be displayed as you type.
      If the creators or contributors to the workflow are registered in workflow hub, please use this field to search and select them.

    3. If anyone not registered with WorkflowHub assisted creating this Workflow, you can specify them below.
      Use this field to fill in the remaining creators.
