Common Workflow Language

The Common Workflow Language (CWL) is an informal, multi-vendor working group consisting of various organizations and individuals that have an interest in portability of data analysis workflows. Our goal is to create specifications that enable data scientists to describe analysis tools and workflows that are powerful, easy to use, portable, and support reproducibility.

CWL builds on technologies such as JSON-LD and Avro for data modeling and Docker for portable runtime environments.

CWL is designed to express workflows for data-intensive science, such as Bioinformatics, Chemistry, Physics, and Astronomy.

Current specification

The current stable specification is draft 2:

http://common-workflow-language.github.io/draft-2/

Implementations

Implementations capable of running the Common Workflow Language:

Examples

Development and testing

The CWL effort is on Github:

https://github.com/common-workflow-language/common-workflow-language

There is a Jenkins server maintained by Curoverse that runs tests for the reference implementation, builds and uploads packages, and builds and uploads Docker images:

Current build status: Build Status
