[open-archaeology] Method Store

Mon Sep 19 12:24:30 UTC 2011

Hi Stuart, 

When discussing workflow I'm thinking taverna and others:

Taverna Workbench: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taverna_workbench

myExperiment: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyExperiment

Workflow: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workflows

Example of workflow systems in Bioinformatics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioinformatics_workflow_management_systems

The joy of wikipedia

Best wishes,

Ant
