Use Case: Reference workflow

As a bioinformatician I want to make the fantastic analysis workflow I developed to solve a specific scientific problem so that others can take it, run it (in Galaxy in my case) using example data included so they can assess if it 1) runs on their system and 2) seems to do what they expect.

For Galaxy we have an example: based on a workflow (Galaxy's own .ga format), we can install all tools (need to be wrapped according to Galaxy's best practices) and data needed to run the workflow in a Docker container (or any Galaxy instance). https://github.com/ELIXIR-Belgium/BioContainers_for_training/tree/master/Galaxy_training_container

This contains metadata structured based on work done for training materials (https://training.galaxyproject.org).

We are also working on a NextFlow PoC according to the same concept

We can explore this from the CWLviewer export suggested by @CaroleGoble which gives an RO. And look if we can transform the Galaxy workflow into a RO-crate. I can volunteer @ieguinoa to spend some time on this ;-)
