BioVeL Data Refinement Workflow (DRW)

The aim of the (Taxonomic) Data Refinement Workflow is to provide a streamlined workflow environment for preparing observational and specimen data sets for use in scientific analysis on the Taverna platform. The workflow has been designed in a way that,

accepts input data in a recognized format, but originating from various sources (e.g. services, local user data sets),

includes a number of graphical user interfaces to view and interact with the data,

the output of each part of the workflow is compatible with the input of each part, implying that the user is free to choose a specific sequence of actions,

allows for the use of custom-built as well as third-party tools applications and tools.

This workflow can be accessed through the BioVeL Portal here http://biovelportal.vliz.be/workflows?category_id=1

This workflow can be combined with the Ecological Niche Modelling Workflows. http://marine.lifewatch.eu/ecological-niche-modelling

Developed by:

Biodiversity Virtual e-Laboratory (BioVeL) (EU FP7 project)

Technology or platform:

The workflow has been developed to be run in the Taverna automated workflow environment.
