Re: [Myexperiment-discuss] i need some workflows :-)

[David De Roure]

In a way an Inchi is a canonical digest of a molecular structure.  You can
imagine one or more types of digest of workflows such that google finds 
"similar" workflows, where "similar" will be a function of the digest.  
In the myExperiment context one would want some form of digest that 
works across multiple workflow systems.  I'm just thinking out loud - I
expect people have thought about this already.  It came up because
Don is mapping workflow descriptions to OAI.
