Convert SCUFL2 to wfdesc

This is an extension to Scufl2 1 which provides the export capability to wfdesc ontology from the Wf4Ever 2 RO wfdesc ontology v0.1 3.

This is exposed as a command line tool “scufl2-to-wfdesc”, but can also be accessed programmatically using the SCUFL2 APIs.

Building

Requirements:

  • Java JDK 6 or higher 6, or OpenJDK 7 or higher 7
  • Maven 2 or higher [9] (only for building)

To build, simply use “mvn clean install”

Example:

: stain@ralph ~/src/wf4ever/scufl2-wfdesc;mvn clean install
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO]

Note that the first time you build, Maven will download several required dependencies from Maven repositories. Depending on your network connection this might take some time to complete.

Command line tool

After building, the folder “target/scufl2-wfdesc” contains a distribution of the command line tool “scufl2-to-wfdesc”, with launchers generated for Unix and Windows.

You may copy and distribute this folder for a standalone usage of the conversion tool.

Alternatively, you can use the target/scufl2-wfdesc-0.3.0-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar directly with “java -jar” - this JAR embeds all required libraries.

The command line tool takes a list of Taverna workflow filenames (supported file types are *.t2flow and *.wfbundle). If no filenames are given, the tool will read a workflow definition from STDIN and write wfdesc to STDOUT. The argument -h and --help should give a minimal help.

Example:

: stain@ralph ~/src/wf4ever/scufl2-wfdesc; target/scufl2-wfdesc/bin/scufl2-to-wfdesc src/test/resources/helloworld.t2flow 
Converted src/test/resources/helloworld.t2flow to src/test/resources/helloworld.wfdesc.ttl


: stain@ralph ~/src/wf4ever/scufl2-wfdesc; cat src/test/resources/helloworld.wfdesc.ttl

Programmatic use

Add a Maven dependency to “scufl2-wfdesc”:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.purl.wf4ever</groupId>
    <artifactId>scufl2-wfdesc</artifactId>
    <version>0.3.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

See the pom.xml file here for the latest version.

Snapshot builds are available from http://www.mygrid.org.uk/maven/snapshot-repository/ -- to retrieve artifacts from the snapshot repository, also add to your POM:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <releases>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
        </releases>
        <snapshots />
        <id>mygrid-snapshot-repository</id>
        <name>myGrid Snapshot Repository</name>
        <url>http://www.mygrid.org.uk/maven/snapshot-repository</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Example:

import uk.org.taverna.scufl2.api.container.WorkflowBundle;
import uk.org.taverna.scufl2.api.io.ReaderException;
import uk.org.taverna.scufl2.api.io.WorkflowBundleIO;
import uk.org.taverna.scufl2.api.io.WriterException;

..
File original = new File("helloworld.t2flow");
File output = new File("helloworld.wfdesc.ttl");
String original = null; // to guess filetype
WorkflowBundle wfBundle = io.readBundle(original, null);
io.writeBundle(wfBundle, output, "text/vnd.wf4ever.wfdesc+turtle");
