Avoid type mentions in parametric_domain #31

Closed stain closed 5 years ago

stain commented 6 years ago

parametric_domain says:

All BCOs should inherit from the fundamental BioCompute data type and as such inherit all of the core fields described in document. Specific BioCompute types introduce specific fields designed to customize the use of pipelines for a particular use pattern. Please refer to documentation of individual scripts and specific BCO descriptions for details.

It is very unclear what these types are talking about and how such specific fields can be defined. Does this relate to #11?

Suggestion is to remove this paragraph and rather explain how parametric_domain are reflecting configurations of other parts of the BCO, presumably the keys here relate to the the name of individual pipeline_steps ?

(Perhaps other keys are allowed? Some workflow systems like KNIME also have workflow-wide parameters)
