Tutorial and specification for packaging IEEE 2791-2020 (BioCompute Objects/BCOs) as RO-Crate Research Objects.

BioCompute Object (BCO) is a standard (IEEE 2791-2020) for describing computational workflows for regularory submission, e.g. a genomics workflow as part of personalized medicine.

RO-Crate is a community-based specification for research data packaging of Research Objects with rich metadata, based on open standards and vocabularies like JSON-LD and schema.org.

BCO RO-Crate is the combination ...

This BioExcel best practice guide outlines the development process for writing a workflow using the Common Workflow Language (CWL), from creating and selecting tools like BioBB, through early experimentation, reuse and testing, to optimization and ensuring reproducibility before publication in workflow repositories.

BioCompute Object (BCO) is a standard (IEEE 2791-2020) for describing computational workflows for regularory submission, e.g. a genomics workflow as part of personalized medicine.

RO-Crate is a community-based specification for research data packaging of Research Objects with rich metadata, based on open standards and vocabularies like JSON-LD and schema.org.

BCO RO-Crate is the combination of these two approaches, packaging a BCO and the workflow it describes in a RO-Crate.
