We argue that the workflows that are published in current approaches are dependent on the specific codes used for execution, the specific workflow system used, and the specific workflow catalogs where they are published. In this paper, we describe a new approach that addresses these shortcomings and makes workflows more reusable through: 1) the use of abstract workflows to complement executable workflows to make them reusable when the execution environment is different, 2) the publication of both abstract and executable workflows using standards such as the Open Provenance Model that can be imported by other workflow systems, 3) the publication of workflows as Linked Data that results in open web accessible workflow repositories. We illustrate this approach using a complex workflow that we re-created from an influential publication that describes the generation of 'drugomes'. date: 2011 date_type: published publisher: Association for Computing Machinery, ACM official_url: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=2110497.2110504 full_text_status: public pres_type: paper place_of_pub: EEUU event_title: 6th workshop on Workflows in support of large-scale science event_location: Seattle, Washington, USA event_dates: 12/11/2011 - 18/11/2011 event_type: conference institution: Informatica department: Inteligencia_Artificial refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-4503-1100-7 book_title: Proceedings of the 6th workshop on Workflows in support of large-scale science rights: by-nc-nd citation: Garijo Verdejo, Daniel ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0454-7145 and Gil, Yolanda (2011).
