Research Objects

Basic

• cwltool --print-rdf
• cwltool --pack
• SVG format diagram
• PNG format diagram (thumbnail?)
• Link to docker image(s)

Intermediate

• "retrievedFrom" on the SVG to REST URI
• "createdWith" links to cwltool for the others
• separate prov file with more details (e.g. git commits)

Advanced

• Propagation of authors and contributors - anyone writing one of the workflows becomes authors of the whole RO
• Writers of the workflows shown in diagram become authors of the SVG/PNG
• Writers of any tool become contributors to the RO

Won't cover where CWL tool files are moved around to reuse them - manual attribution or service such as bio.tools integration? Possible solutions:

• Attribution is in the tool description and can be parsed
• Link to external service eg bio.tools is provided in tool description and details pulled from an API there
• Tooling called remotely from external service and details pulled from an API there
