Introduction

The myExperiment Virtual Research Environment enables people to share digital items associated with your research — in particular it enables you to share and execute scientific workflows. “myExperiment is a collaborative environment where scientists can safely publish their workflows and experiment plans, share them with groups and find those of others. Workflows, other digital objects and bundles (called Packs) can now be swapped, sorted and searched like photos and videos on the Web. Unlike Facebook or MySpace, myExperiment fully understands the needs of the researcher and makes it really easy for the next generation of scientists to contribute to a pool of scientific methods, build communities and form relationships - reducing time-to-experiment, sharing expertise and avoiding reinvention. myExperiment is now the largest public repository of scientific workflows.” myexperiment Wiki, retrieved 13:06, 14 June 2010 (UTC)).
