FAIR Workflow Platform

FAIR stands for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reuseable. By making research data available in a FAIR manner, researchers can make their data more useful! However, implementing FAIR principles is still challenging.

This platform provides a practical implementation of FAIR principles for computational workflows. It executes machine-actionable workflows while capturing complete provenance information, packaging both workflows and results as RO-Crates. This ensures that scientific workflows and their outputs remain findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable throughout their lifecycle.

The platform is currently deployed within the Destination Earth Data Lake where it drives BioDT’s Digital Twin Model for finding crop wild relatives of plants for enhancing crop resilience against climate-driven stresses. This use case helps identify stress-tolerant populations and novel genetic traits for crop improvement (more info).

The platform code is open-source and available on Github. A poster describing the project details is available at the DOI linked above.
