Biodiversity e-Laboratory

BioVeL supported scientists to carry out research on biodiversity by offering computerised tools (“workflows”) to process large amounts of data from your own and cross-disciplinary sources, as well as tools for designing and running workflows.

The BioVeL Portal (archived 2019-01-11) was built using the FAIRDOM-SEEK Platform.

Further developments to Taverna included the Taverna Server and Taverna Player. The portal used extensively the new Taverna interaction plugin in order to interactively ask users about workflow decisions during server execution.
