13. As Taverna’s popularity increased we observed a workflow exchange activity emerging amongst our users and a strong desire for a place were workflows could be collected and opened to peer review.

15. myExperiment enables scientists to discover , reuse and repurpose workflows, and to enact them from a web page using a remote enactment service.
22. myExperiment focuses on the special requirements of scientists, providing support for: ownership , credit and attribution , licensing , visibility and sharing .
26. myExperiment aids reuse because workflows can be discovered not just by what they do but based on how they are used by the community , with tags and reviews adding to the ‘collective intelligence’.

29. myExperiment is not just about workflows, it’s about sharing digital objects, which include data, results, provenance information, tags, associated documentation, etc. … collected together to form scientific research objects , for example to record an experiment.
33. myExperiment functionality can be accessed through simple RESTful APIs so that it can be accessed through existing interfaces, including wikis, web pages… and Taverna. Also enables the creation of other interfaces such as Google Gadgets, myExperiment add-ons for sites such as Facebook and functionality mashups over myExperiment.
