Conceptual model of myExperiment social network.
users share scientific workflows and other research objects, such as
ratings, metadata (e.g., tag cloud), data, and papers, with their
professional network. Figure 8.2 shows the interactions among my-
Experiment research objects.
Workflows
are created and uploaded by
scientists
who belong to different
groups
. Workflows comprise Web
services
, annotated by a
tag cloud
,use
data
, and cite or cited by
papers
/
presentations
. Note that there exist other relations among
objects, which we do not explicitly specify in the figure. For example,
one scientist may share credit on a workflow, data item, or paper, with
his/her peer scientist; while a paper may refer to a dataset. Figure 8.3
is an excerpt of a myExperiment Web page showing how the lym-
phoma type prediction workflow, introduced in Chapter 7, correlates
with tag cloud, input and output data, citations, author's social net-
work, and so on.
