About This Platform


What is this platform for?

This platform helps researchers run computational workflows and share their results in a way that makes them easy to find, understand, reuse, and reproduce by other scientists.

When researchers run computational analyses (like climate modeling or species distribution predictions), it's often difficult to share not just the results, but also how those results were produced. This makes it hard for others to verify findings, build upon them, or apply the same methods to new data. This platform addresses that challenge by automating the capture and packaging of datasets created by running a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) computational workflow. Upon running a workflow, the platform automatically records and packages everything needed to understand and reproduce the analysis, including input data, parameters, execution details and provenance information. The resulting dataset is then made available for download in a standardized format called RO-Crate and discoverable via FAIR Signposting.

Using the Platform

  1. Browse Datasets: Visit the Datasets page to explore available research datasets. Click on any dataset to view detailed metadata, associated files, and workflow provenance information.
  2. Submit Workflows: Login with ORCID, then navigate to Submit Workflow to upload a workflow in RO-Crate format or execute an existing dataset's workflow. Monitor workflow status on the Workflows page.
  3. Download Results: Datasets with workflows are downloadable as RO-Crates containing workflow definitions, input parameters, output data, and execution metadata in a standardized format.

Open Source

The source code is available under an open-source license on GitHub: FAIR Workflow Platform. For questions, bug reports, or feature requests, please open an issue on the GitHub repository.
