+The Taverna Component Profile Editor is a simple tool for editing and creating profiles for 
+   [Taverna Components[(/documentation/components). 
+Component profiles define the required and supported interface of components; 
+   they are not intended to be easily edited by normal users. 
+The editor guides an expert user as they define a profile, 
+   showing features that they may use and providing assistance for defining semantic annotation requirements.

+The Taverna Component Validator is a tool and library for checking whether a 
+   [Taverna Component](/documentation/components) satisfies the component profile defined by the family of which it is a member. 
+It applies a number of checks to the component such that when they are all satisfied, 
+   the component can be considered to be a high-quality member of the component family, 
+   and provides human-readable descriptions of the conditions that are checked and whether they were satisfied or not.
+
+![Summary of validity of a component, from myExperiment](img/ComponentValiditySummary.png)
+
+We currently have the validator deployed on 
+   [myExperiment.org](http://www.myexperiment.org) as an integrated feature of the metadata displayed about components.

+[TOC]
+
+## Overview
+Taverna Workflow Components are a system for creating shareable, reusable, 
+   encapsulated sub-workflows that perform clearly defined tasks while abstracting
+   the details of how those tasks are performed. 
+They are an integrated feature of Taverna since Workbench 2.5.0 and Server 2.5.4.
+
+Taverna's system of service components was developed as part of the BioVeL and SCAPE projects. They consist of tools for the creation, management and use of workflow components, 
+   along with a repository for the storage and sharing of those components. 
+Workflow components within a given component family will work together cleanly, 
+   for example, by adhering to a tidy type system and being well described.
+
+## Requirements
+
+A set of minimal functional requirements for service component management has been developed. These requirements are 
+   based upon previous component-related work carried out as part of the e-Lico project as well as an examination of the needs of BioVeL and SCAPE.
+
+The requirements include:
+
+ - The ability to create components
+ - The specification of the characteristics that are necessary for a set of components to 
+   ‘play’ together – called a ‘component profile’
+ - Creating a component so it complies with a given profile
+ - Checking that a component complies with a given profile
+ - Publishing a component
+ - Discovering a component
+ - Including a component in a workflow
+ - Executing the component within a workflow run
+
+<img class="aligncenter" title="The Model of Components" src="img/registry.png" alt="" 
+     width="433" height="251" />
+
+## Workflows
+### Example workflow with components
+
+This is an example workflow that includes components, with internal ports hidden for simplicity:
+
+<img class="alignnone" title="Componentized Workflow" src="img/component_b_1.png" alt="" 
+     width="679" height="294" />
+
+Without components, using the same view, it would instead look like this:
+
+[<img class="aligncenter" title="Un-componentized Workflow" src="img/component_c.png" alt="" width="245" height="526" />](http://www.taverna.org.uk/pages/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/component_c.png)
+
+### Including a component in a workflow
+
+A component can be added into a Taverna workflow in the same way as an ordinary service: 
+   by dragging it from the service panel of the workbench into the workflow design view. 
+   *Although it may be realized internally as a workflow, 
+   a user sees it as a ‘black box’ and cannot (normally) edit the component’s workflow.*
+
+<img class="aligncenter" src="img/arch3.png" alt="" width="500" height="401" />
+
+It is intended that there will be consistency checks to ensure components are only plugged 
+   together in a sensible manner, and for the discovery of (and connection to) suitable components 
+   based upon existing workflow structure.
+
+### Executing a component in a workflow run
+
+When a component is invoked during a workflow run, the underlying workflow is called with the 
+   corresponding data. 
+The results of the workflow are used as the output data for the component invocation. 
+*The user sees the component invocation as a ‘black box’ and cannot see details of 
+   what happens inside.*
+
+>If you publish a workflow containing a component, you *must* make sure the 
+   component is publicly readable in a globally-accessible component registry; 
+   myExperiment is such a suitable registry.
+
+## Components
+### Component creation
+
+It was decided that the majority of the information necessary for a component will be specified 
+   as a Taverna workflow. 
+This allows complex internal component functionality and removes the need for extensive new 
+   software to design components.
+
+<img class="aligncenter" src="img/arch1.png" alt="" width="340" height="433" />
+
+### Component profile
+
+A specification of the format for the component profile has been agreed. 
+The format is in XML and an XML schema (xsd) has been created. 
+An example [component profile](http://www.myexperiment.org/files/905/versions/1/download/Characterisation%20Component.xml) 
+   is available. 
+Components that share a profile will be collected together into component families. 
+A [component profile editor](/documentation/components/component-profile-editor) 
+   is being developed.
+
+<p style="text-align: center;">
+<img class="aligncenter" src="img/arch2.png" alt="" width="359" height="412" />
+</p>
+
+The SCAPE project has an 
+   [extended discussion of component profiles](https://github.com/openpreserve/scape-component-profiles)
+   available.
+
+### Component creation against a profile
+
+In order to conform to a component profile, it can be necessary to make semantic annotations 
+   parts of the corresponding workflow. 
+For example, the annotation of the type of format in which data is output by a port or 
+   a service with the task it performs.
+
+The component profile specifies the ontologies that will be used for the components within the 
+   family, the correspondence between object classes within a workflow 
+   (input port, service etc.) and the concepts within the ontologies.
+
+### Checking a component against a profile
+
+Although the components will be modified using a chosen profile, 
+   it is unlikely that the components can be assured as being ‘correct by construction’. 
+For this reason, a separate 
+   [component validator](/documentation/components/component-validator)
+   is being implemented. 
+The component validator is included within 
+   [myExperiment](http://www.myexperiment.org).
+
+### Publishing a component
+
+Since components are realized  as ‘extensions’ to Taverna workflows, 
+   it was decided that rather than using a separate component repository, 
+   the extensive capabilities of myExperiment  would be used. 
+Thus a component is currently published and shared on myExperiment as (a pack containing) 
+   a workflow. 
+The components themselves are items within a pack corresponding to the component family.
+
+To facilitate the development of components, a workflow can also be saved to the user’s local 
+   machine.
+
+When a user publishes a component either to myExperiment or to their local file system, 
+   their service panel is updated to reflect the new component.
+
+### Discovering a component
+
+Since component families are realized as packs on myExperiment 
+   (or by analogous structures in the user’s file system), 
+   we use the existing Taverna code to talk to the myExperiment REST interface to give users 
+   access to families of components. 
+Users can then see the discovered families of components via the Taverna Workbench service 
+   panel, and the components within those families. 
+A component can then be added to a workflow.
