+
+    Java, open source, LPGL licensed (GPL for Astronomy versions)
+
+Suite of tools to design, edit and execute workflows
+
+    Workflow design and execution in Taverna Workbench
+    Command line execution of workflows
+    Remote execution of workflows on a Taverna server
+    Invoke workflows from the Internet
+
+Wide range of services and extensible architecture
+
+    Service discovery
+    Various service types available: WSDL-style and RESTful Web services, BioMart, BioMoby, SoapLab, R, Beanshell, Excel and csv spreadsheets
+    Service creation for external tools or Java libraries
+    Calling tools/scripts on a local machine or remote machines (via ssh)
+    Extensible service plug-in architecture for adding new service types
+    Fully integrated support for browsing curated service catalogues, such as the BioCatalogue, for Web services (WSDL/SOAP and REST)
+    Interaction with a running workflow within a web browser
+    Ability to define and share semantically annotated components, and have them used as services in workflows
+
+Secure
+
+    Support for secure services (HTTP authentication, WS-Security, X.509 client authentication)

+Create your own or start from existing workflows
+
+    Easy design of new workflows
+    Load existing workflows (from a disk, myExperiment or a URL)
+    View workflow layout and logic
+    Modify existing workflows
+    Load workflows in off-line mode (when disconnected from the Internet)
+    Nested workflows (sub workflows)
+    Workflow validation during design time for debugging while composing a workflow
+    Built-in detection when a service’s interface changes or a service go off-line during design time
