+Taverna is transitioning to the Apache Incubator.
+This webpage reflects material not yet released under 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>
+
+
+ <div id="content"><p>The design of Taverna is modular in nature so that various plugins can be added in order to
+ increase its functionality.
+In Taverna 2, plugins are specific to versions of Taverna.
+We are hoping to change this in future, when we move to the <a href="http://www.osgi.org/">OSGi</a>
+ platform (see our <a href="/introduction/roadmap">Roadmap</a> for details).</p>
+<p>There are several different things that can be plugged into Taverna.
+Of most interest are plugins that enable search and invocation of a specific service type from
+ worflows (e.g. a Web service plugin that enables adding a Web service based on its
+ WSDL description document and invoking it from a workflow).</p>
+<h2 id="installing-plugins">Installing plugins</h2>
+<p>To install a plugin for Taverna, use the <em>Plugin Manager</em> - it can be found under
+ <em>Updates and plugins</em> from the <em>Advanced</em> menu.
+If your plugin is not visible, select âFind New Pluginsâ.
+You may need to add the plugin site using âAdd Plugin Siteâ for specific plugins.
+Check the box for the plugin and click install.
+You may need to restart Taverna for the plugin to become visible and fully functional.</p>
+<h2 id="available-plugins">Available plugins</h2>

+ interfaces and define parameter options for Taverna workflows.
+BIFI is also able to submit GUI definition files (GDF) directly to or locate appropriate
+ instances from the repository configured.
+Moreover, BIFI includes an algorithm used to generate a default user interface if no GDF can be
+ found in the repository by making use of the meta-information from process definitions.</p>
+<p><a name="vphshare"></a></p>
+<h3 id="vph-share-plugin">VPH-Share plugin</h3>
+<p><em>Available for Taverna 2.4 and 2.5.</em></p>
+<p>The <a href="http://www.vph-share.eu/">VPH-Share</a> project has developed a
+ [plugin]http://www.vph-share.eu/content/vph-share-taverna-plugin) for Taverna that allows the
+ usage of any VPH-Share Web Service to be included as services within a Taverna workflow.</p>
+<p>The VPH-Share services are run on virtual machines (VM) within a cloud,
+ but the VPH-Share Plugin makes this transparent to the users.
+VPH-Share manages the handling of VMs, so the user can connect to the available Web Services
+ like any other Web Service, without dealing with starting or shutting down the virtual
+ machines.
+VPH-Share also handles user access control in all steps of the workflow composition and
+ execution.</p>
+<p>The <a href="http://www.vph-share.eu/content/vph-share-taverna-plugin">VPH-Share Plugin</a> works with
+ Taverna Workbench as well as with Taverna Server.
+Planned improvements include allowing web-based composition of workflows with VPH-Share
+ services through <a href="/developers/work-in-progress/taverna-online/">Taverna Online</a>.</p>
+<p>This <a href="http://www.vph-share.eu/content/vph-share-taverna-plugin">VPH-Share Plugin</a> is currently
+ under development by the Scientific Software Development Team of
+ <a href="http://www.cistib.org/">CISTIB</a> (Center for Computational Imaging & Simulation Technologies
+ in Biomedicine), at <a href="http://www.shef.ac.uk/">The University of Sheffield</a>,
+ and can be installed in Taverna by adding the
+ <a href="http://repository.cistib.org/nexus/content/repositories/releases/">CISTIB Plugin Site</a>.
+You can contact the development team at <a href="mailto:ssd.cistib@lists.shef.ac.uk">ssd.cistib@lists.shef.ac.uk</a>.</p>
+<p><a name="interaction"></a></p>
+<h3 id="interaction-plugin">Interaction plugin</h3>
+<p><em>Available for Taverna 2.4; integrated in Taverna 2.5</em> </p>
+<p>The Interaction plugin allows users to interact in a web browser within a workflow run using an Interaction service. The run can be on <a title="Taverna Workbench" href="-download/workbench/">Taverna Workbench</a> or on a <a title="Taverna Server" href="http://www.taverna.org.uk/download/server/">Taverna Server</a>. A detailed description of the Interaction service can be found in the online <a title="Interaction service" href="http://dev.mygrid.org.uk/wiki/display/taverna/Interaction+service">manual</a>.</p></p>
+<p>The Interaction service was developed by the <a href="http://www.biovel.eu">BioVeL project</a>.</p>
+<p><a name="xpath"></a></p>
+<h3 id="xpath-plugin">XPath plugin</h3>
+<p><em>Available for Taverna 2.2; integrated in Taverna 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5</em></p>
+<p>XPath plugin provides enhanced support for creating and executing XPath expressions over XML
+ data in order to extract specific fragments of the data.
+This plugin offers an intuitive and easy-to-use way of creating XPath expressions and does not
+ require detailed knowledge of the XPath language - expressions are generated by selection of
+ relevant nodes in the tree-like view of the provided example XML data.
+Ability to modify automatically-generated XPath expressions and control over namespace handling
+ make this a powerful tool.
+This plugin was written by
+ <a href="http://www.mygrid.org.uk/about-us/people/previous-members/sergejs-aleksejevs/">Sergejs Aleksejevs</a>.</p>
+<p><a name="rest"></a></p>
+<h3 id="rest-plugin">REST plugin</h3>
+<p><em>Available for Taverna 2.2; integrated in Taverna 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5.</em></p>
+<p>REST plugin allows users to access remote services via four different types of HTTP requests:
+ GET, POST, PUT and DELETE.
+Configuration options of the plugin include MIME types of the sent and received data and the
+ URL template that can have configurable parameters
+ (with an individual input port created for each).
+The plugin integrates with the Credential Manager of the Workbench for added convenience when
+ accessing secure web services.
+This plugin was written by
+ <a href="http://www.mygrid.org.uk/about-us/people/previous-members/sergejs-aleksejevs/">Sergejs Aleksejevs</a>.</p>
+<p><a name="biocatalogue_plugin"></a></p>
+<h3 id="biocatalogue-plugin">BioCatalogue plugin</h3>
+<p><em>Available for Taverna 2.1.2, 2.2; integrated in Taverna 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5.</em></p>
+<p>BioCatalogue plugin alpha for Taverna 2.1.2 allows users to browse services in the
+ <a href="http://www.biocatalogue.org/">BioCatalogue</a> Life Sciences Web Services registry from the
+ Workbench and add them to workflows.
+Being an alpha, some pieces of functionality have not been fully implemented.
+The plugin has been developed by
+ <a href="http://www.mygrid.org.uk/about-us/people/core-mygrid-team/sergejs-aleksejevs/">Sergejs Aleksejevs</a>.</p>
+<p>The plugin for Taverna 2.2 is still an alpha but several small fixes and improvements have been
+ made in this version:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Services added to the Service Panel are now saved and re-appear in the Service Panel when
+ the Workbench is restarted</li>
+<li>An option to choose which BioCatalogue instance to work with has been added
+ (available from <em>File</em> -> <em>Preferences</em> -> <em>BioCatalogue</em>).
+ This means that Taverna can use not only the main instance of BioCatalogue,
+ but also other instances (e.g. the <a href="https://www.biodiversitycatalogue.org/">BioDiversity</a>
+ catalogue that is based on the BioCatalogue codebase).</li>
+<li>The user interface of the tree with Filtering options (in the Filter Services tab of the
+ BioCatalogue Perspective) has been fixed - now it looks identical on Windows, Linux and
+ Mac OS.</li>
+<li>Contextual views are not shown for the types of workflow elements that the BioCatalogue does
+ not work with.</li>
+</ul>
+<p><a name="pbs"></a></p>
+<h3 id="pbs-plugin">PBS plugin</h3>
+<p><em>Available for Taverna 2.2.</em></p>
+<p><a href="http://cphg.virginia.edu/mackey/projects/sequencing-pipelines/tavernapbs/">TavernaPBS</a> plugin
+ is developed by the <a href="http://obx.cphg.virginia.edu/mackey/">Mackey Lab</a>,
+ Center for Public Health Genomics, University of Virginia, US.
+It allows a user to define workflows that can then be run using a computational cluster that
+ uses a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Batch_System">PBS</a> (Portable Batch System)
+ queuing system.
+The workflows represent next generation sequencing analysis pipelines.</p>
+<p>To most efficiently make use of their myriad of UNIX command line tools, the project has
+ developed a custom <a href="/documentation/glossary/#beanshell">Beanshell</a> - based library to enable
+ workflows composed of UNIX command line invocations.
+Furthermore, they have abstracted the command execution such that each step could be executed
+ as an independent âjobâ on a remote high performance computing or grid environment.
+By doing so, they have essentially turned Taverna into a distributed workflow âcompilerâ.</p>
+<p>You can download the code from the project's
+ <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/tavernapbs/">pages at SourceForge</a>.</p>
+<p><a name="sadi_plugin"></a></p>
+<h3 id="sadi-plugin">SADI plugin</h3>
+<p><em>Available for Taverna 2.1.2, 2.2.</em></p>
+<p><a href="http://sadiframework.org/content/">Semantic Automated Discovery and Integration</a> (SADI) is a
+ set of standards-compliant best practices that simplify interoperability between semantic
+ Web services.
+The SADI codebase make it easy for people to deploy services that adhere to the SADI framework
+ practices.
+The SADI plugin allows semantic services to be accessed from Taverna.
+The plugin has been developed by
+ <a href="http://www.mygrid.org.uk/about-us/people/core-mygrid-team/david-withers/">David Withers</a>

+ <a href="http://www.gcbioinformatics.ca">Genome Canada Bioinformatics Platform</a>).
+It requires Java 6.</p>
+<p><a name="usecase_plugin"></a></p>
+<h3 id="external-tools-usecase-plugin">External Tools (UseCase) plugin</h3>
+<p><em>Available for Taverna 2.1.2, 2.2; integrated in Taverna 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5.</em></p>
+<p><a href="http://taverna.nordugrid.org/">External Tools (previously UseCase) plugin</a> that was developed
+ for Taverna 1.7 as part of the <a href="http://www.knowarc.eu/">KnowARC project</a> (previously ARC
+ project) has now been updated to work with Taverna 2.x and extended in functionality.
+The plugin was originally written by Hajo Krabbenhöft and Steffen Möller and updated to work
+ with Taverna 2.2 by Alan Williams.
+It allows users to run tools on a grid, or a remote/local machine using grid or ssh
+ authentication.<br />
+At the moment a prototype set of tool descriptions is available.

+<p>Sonja Holl of the Distributed Systems and Grid Computing division of the Jülich Supercomputing
+ Centre (JSC) in Germany developed a <a href="http://www.unicore.eu/">UNICORE</a> plugin for Taverna.
+ âUNICORE (Uniform Interface to Computing Resources) offers a ready-to-run Grid system and
+ makes distributed computing and data resources available in a seamless and secure way.â<br />
+The UNICORE plugin for Taverna enables users to submit jobs from Taverna Workbench to any
+ UNICORE resource.</p>
+<p>To get access to UNICORE resources from Taverna, the user registers a new UNICORE registry in
+ Taverna's <a href="/documentation/glossary/#service_panel">Service Panel</a>.
+This UNICORE registry is then queried and the UNICORE services orchestrator returns a list of
+ available applications.
+The applications are selected from various UNICORE resources, as each installation holds a file
+ that describes the available applications, including metadata on the specific resource.</p>
+<p>The list of applications is then used in Taverna to display available UNICORE services
+ (applications), which can be added as services to Taverna workflows.
+The metadata is used to create input and output ports of the specific application/service.
+Users can than connect inputs/outputs to other workflow services in the usual manner.</p>
+<p>During the worfklow execution, a job description is created and submitted to the UNICORE
+ service orchestrator(SO).
+Files are being uploaded and stored under a logical filename.
+The SO then manages the execution and file transmission.
+The status of the submitted job is polled in the background from Taverna.
+After the job finished, some files are downloaded, and for further modification,
+ only the logical file name is retrieved.</p>
+<p>Additionally, the UNICORE services are using Taverna's
+ <a href="/documentation/glossary/#credential_manager">Credential Manager</a> to get access to the
+ user's X.509 certificate, which user has to load prior to service invocation,
+ along with the other CA's certificates.
+The UNICORE services then access the user's certificate and use it for job submission
+ (since UNICORE's security concept is based upon grid security and X.509 certificates).</p>
+<p>To install the plugin, follow the
+ <a href="http://www.mygrid.org.uk/dev/wiki/display/taverna/Finding+plugins">installation instructions</a>
+ from the User Manual and use the following URL when installing the plugin:

+<p><em>Available for Taverna 2.2, 2.3.</em>
+<a href="mailto:atruszkowski@gmx.de">Andreas Truszkowski</a> has updated the plugin that the
+ <a href="/introduction/taverna-in-use/chemistry#chemistry-development-kit/">Chemistry Development Kit (CDK) project</a>
+ have developed for Taverna 1.7.2, to allow the CDK tools to be used within Taverna 2
+ workflows as services.

+<h3 id="cagrid-plugin">caGrid plugin</h3>
+<p><em>Available for Taverna 2.1.2.</em></p>
+<p>The Taverna team together with the caGrid team have developed the caGrid service discoverer
+ plugin for Taverna 2.1.2.
+This plugin is used to query caGrid services from the caGrid Index Service.
+This allows you to easily find the available caGrid services, add them in Taverna's
+ <a href="/documentation/glossary#service_panel">Service Panel</a> and then invoke them from workflows.
+The <a href="http://wiki.cagrid.org/display/workflow13/Taverna+Users+Guide">documentation</a> for the
+ plugin is available on-line, as well as the
+ <a href="https://github.com/NCIP/taverna-grid">source code</a>. <br />
+<em>Note: As of May 2013, this plugin does not install correctly from the caGrid plugin site.
+Users are advised to build the plugin from <a href="https://github.com/NCIP/taverna-grid">source code</a>.</em></p>

+<h3 id="cagrid-remote-execution-plugin">caGrid remote execution plugin</h3>
+<p><em>Available for Taverna 2.1.2.</em></p>
+<p>The caGrid team have also developed a remote workflow execution service plugin for
+ Taverna 2.1.2.
+The plugin passes a workflow definition file, including the appropriate inputs,
+ to a generic remote caGrid service, where the workflow is then executed.
+This is useful in instances where the workflow is long-running and relies on constant access to
+ the caGrid to execute properly.
+The <a href="http://wiki.cagrid.org/display/workflow13/Taverna+Users+Guide">documentation</a> for the
+ plugin is available on-line, as well as the
+ <a href="https://github.com/NCIP/taverna-grid">source code</a>.
+*Note: As of May 2013, this plugin does not install correctly from the caGrid plugin site.
+Users are advised to build the plugin from <a href="https://github.com/NCIP/taverna-grid">source code</a>.</p>
