Abstract :
Online workflow repositories let scientists share successful experimental routines and compose new workflows from best practices and existing service components. The authors share the results of a social network analysis of the myExperiment workflow repository to assess the state of scientific workflow reuse and propose the CASE framework to facilitate such reuse.
