Re: [Myexperiment-discuss] Upload any type of Workflow you want...

[Gernot Stocker]

Hi myExperiment -Team,
congratulations for this great new feature and it brings me to the question 
whether it could
be also used to exchange xml-based experiment protocols? Within the next days 
we are 
going to release a new version of our software iLAP which offers despite other 
features 
some kind of ELN functionality. There, experiment protocols can be exported as 
xml 
"workflows" which are the basis for a web based data aquisition wizard. 

First, is it allowed to exchange also iLAP protocols via myExperiment? Which 
format do you 
use for your workflows in order to achieve a better integration of our 
protocols within 
myExperiment? Or can we use our own? Is there a developer documentation 
available for 
such an integration path? 

Sorry for the newbe questions, but your announcement encouraged me to follow 
this idea
with more energy.
Thanks, 
GS
