+Taverna is transitioning to the Apache Incubator.

+Instead it shows <a class="alert-link" href="http://www.taverna.org.uk/">taverna2</a> material that is expected to become part of the Apache Incubator project in the future.

+
+
+ <div id="content"><p>SCUFL2 is the new (since Taverna 3) mechanism for specifying Taverna workflows.
+SCUFL2 defines a model, a workflow bundle file format (.wfbundle), and a Java API for working with workflow structures.
+SCUFL2 is the workflow language for Taverna 3, and replaces Taverna 2's t2flow format.</p>
+<h2 id="summary">Summary</h2>
+<p>SCUFL2 is the Taverna 3 mechanism for specifying Taverna workflows.
+SCUFL2 adopts Linked Data technology and preservation methodologies to create a platform-independent workflow language
+ that can be inspected, modified, created and executed.</p>
+<p>SCUFL2 comes with a <a href="/documentation/scufl2/api">Java API</a> that can be used for programmatic access to read and write SCUFL2
+ <a href="/documentation/scufl2/bundle">workflow bundles</a>.
+A workflow bundle is a structured ZIP file with the workflow definitions included as XML documents.
+Those workflow documents are described by an XML Schema and are also valid RDF/XML.
+The XML Schema allows tools to read and write SCUFL2 workflow definitions as regular structured XML.
+The RDF allows RDF-enabled tools to link workflow definitions with external resources.</p>
+<p>The workflow structure is defined using an <a href="/documentation/scufl2/ontology">OWL ontology</a>
+ and annotated with URIs so that third parties can form semantic statements about any component of a Scufl2 workflow,
+ for example to state that a particular service produces outputs of a certain type,
+ or that a data link was added by a specific researcher.</p>
+<p>Semantic annotations and a manifest for the bundle declare the purpose of,
+ and links between the different components forming a workflow.
+This allows third parties to extract and append annotations about data and services used by the workflow.</p>
+<h2 id="motivation">Motivation</h2>
+<p>The t2flow serialization format suffers from being very close to the Java object model,
+ and contains various items that are simply Java beans serialized using <em>XMLBeans</em>.
+As the t2flow format is very verbose, it can be difficult to deal with for third party software to do
+ <strong>inspection</strong> ("Which services does this workflow use?"), <strong>modification</strong>
+ ("Change all calls to <em>broken.com</em> to <em>fixed.com</em>") and <strong>generation</strong>
+ ("Build a custom workflow from a button").</p>
+<p>Developers have informed us that the old SCUFL format of Taverna 1 was significantly easier to work with.
+However, this format also has its caveats, like no schema,
+ unidentified ways to extend service definitions for Taverna plugins and
+ not supporting various new features in the Taverna 2 engine.</p>
+<p>We have therefore decided to form a new serialisation format for workflows, called <strong>SCUFL2</strong>.</p>
+<h2 id="overview">Overview></h2>
