VisTrails Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
VisTrails (RRID:SCR_006261) | VisTrails | data processing software, software application, software resource, workflow software | Open-source scientific workflow and provenance management system that provides support for simulations, data exploration and visualization. It was designed to manage these rapidly-evolving workflows. VisTrails has a comprehensive provenance infrastructure that maintains detailed history information about the steps followed and data derived in the course of an exploratory task: VisTrails maintains provenance of data products, of the workflows that derive these products and their executions. This information is persisted as XML files or in a relational database, and it allows users to navigate workflow versions in an intuitive way, to undo changes but not lose any results, to visually compare different workflows and their results, and to examine the actions that led to a result. It also enables a series operations and user interfaces that simplify workflow design and use, including the ability to create and refine workflows by analogy and to query workflows by example. VisTrails supports the creation and execution of workflows. It allows the combination of loosely-coupled resources, specialized libraries, grid and Web services. The released version comes with support for several packages including, VTK, Image Magick, Web Services, and pylab. You can also download packages contributed by users, as well as create your own packages/modules. Workflows can be run interactively, through the VisTrails GUI, or in batch using a VisTrails server. VisTrails is written in Python and it uses the multi-platform Qt library for its user interface. It runs on Mac, Linux and Windows. Provenance-rich results derived by VisTrails can be included in LaTeX, Wiki, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents. | workflow, provenance, simulation, data exploration, visualization, data analysis, management system, python, mac, linux, windows |

iBioSeminars Resource Report Resource Website |
iBioSeminars (RRID:SCR_005848) | iBioSeminars | training material, narrative resource, data or information resource, video resource | iBioSeminars offers: * Free, on-demand lectures: Many universities/colleges have limited access to high profile leaders in biological research. Our goal is to add 15-20 seminars per year, of similar quality to outstanding lectures that are currently in this library. Access, through web streaming or download, is completely free-of-charge. * Targeting a broad audience: iBioSeminars start with an extended introduction, making them accessible to non-specialists and students, and then progress to cover current research. Senior scientists and students can view and enjoy these lectures. * Education: iBioSeminars are being used by undergraduate and graduate teachers to augment their classroom material. We have now added an education component to this web site (including lecture notes, questions/answers and short video clips for teaching). * International communication: iBioSeminars have viewers in 115 countries and they are being internally promoted in several countries as an educational tool and scientific resource. * Goodwill: Lecturers generously donate their time to prepare these lectures. The project, largely funded by HHMI, is a grass roots efforts with time invested by several individuals at UCSF, HHMI and ASCB. | biological research, biology, lecture, seminar, education, undergraduate, graduate |
