Abstract
Biodiversity e-Science is characterized by the use of a wide range of different kinds of data and by performing complex analyses on these data. In this chapter, we discuss the use of workflow systems to assist biodiversity researchers and consider how such systems can provide repeatability of experiments and other benefits.We argue that nevertheless there are also limitations to this kind of approach, and we discuss how more flexibility in a more exploratory environment could be achieved.
