MaRDIFlow : Design and Description of FAIR CSE Workflows
This computational framework abstracts multi-layered components from FAIR computational experiments through an input/output pipeline. By incorporating them into redundant descriptions, we describe arbitrary levels of abstraction ranging from mere I/O data to mathematical models.
A recent publication describing the tool can be found at https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.00028
Key Features
Comprehensive Workflow Framework: Enables the abstraction of computational components to describe FAIR workflows.
Multi-Layered Component Support: Ensures the integration of various layers such as numerical methods, mathematical models, and I/O data.
Output Formats: Supports HTML, PDF, TeX, and Jupyter Notebook outputs for enforced documentation and reporting.
What does it do?
MaRDIFlow provides a structured environment for designing, executing, and documenting FAIR CSE workflows.It captures metadata and dependencies automatically, ensuring that computational experiments are reusable, reproducible, and well-documented across varying computational setups.
How can it be used?
Using this working prototype (two use-cases), users can execute the workflow through a user-friendly command-line interface, enabling interaction with the framework's features. Users can :
1. Define workflow components, inputs, and outputs using structured metadata descriptions.
2. Execute workflows while automatically capturing provenance information.
3. Generate detailed reports and provenance documentation in chosen output formats (HTML, PDF, or TeX).
