Add Workflow Editor #133

Open douginator2000 opened 11 years ago

douginator2000 commented 11 years ago

This is just a brainstorm for now, but could have awesome applications.

A workflow editor for data processing and analysis could be very awesome. This would be a drag-drop interface. Objects would represent items (e.g. metadata, sequence files, or processing objects), and can be connected in a pipeline. Objects would be individually configurable (e.g. sequence file - set split_library options, etc...)...

Use-case for data upload:

User drags sequence file onto workflow - upload happens, options can be set per-sequence file if necessary (split_library configuration). Would be largely locked down probably, at least enough to keep database data consistent. Metadata files dragged onto interface - would perform validation and allow you to fix errors. Once multiple objects exist, they would be intelligently linked (i.e. sequence files and metadata would be linked to an end-note that represents the process job).

Think through analysis interface.

Yeah this could be spectacular. How much of this if any does galaxy and/or Henry's workflow tools provide already and can we leverage?

I don't know Galaxy very well - I'll have to look into it. Not sure what Henry's workflow tools are - should check into that as well. I've used a number of 3rd party tools in the past, but those were all for the .NET environment.
