myExperiment is a social networking site and Virtual Research Environment (VRE) designed for people to share, discover and reuse workflows. myExperiment enables scientists to contribute to a pool of workflows that can be reused and repurposed by other scientists, promoting building of communities, forming of relationships and collaboration. In this way, myExperiment helps reduce time-to-experiment, share expertise and avoid reinvention The myExperiment website was launched in November 2007 and contains a significant collection of scientific workflows for a variety of workflow systems, most notably Taverna, but also other tools such as Bioclipse.
