Which Taverna to download?

There are several Taverna tools you can download:

  • Taverna Language gives programmatic access to inspecting, modifying and converting SCUFL2 workflow definitions and Research Object Bundles.
  • Taverna Workbench enables you to graphically create, edit and run workflows on your computer. Taverna 2.5 (non-Apache) Workbench is the latest series of the Workbench; it is highly recommended that you use this version if you are new to Taverna, or migrate to this version if you have used an earlier Taverna Workbench before.
  • Taverna Command Line Tool (not yet Apache) enables you to run workflows from a command prompt. This enables automated execution of workflows, e.g. on a Linux server.
  • Taverna Server is the remote workflow execution service that enables you to set up a dedicated server for executing workflows remotely.
  • Taverna Plugins. The design of Taverna is modular in nature so that various plugins can be added in order to increase its functionality.

Associated tools

There are also a number of associated tools available to use with (non-Apache) Taverna 2.

Note: There are currently no known plans to bring out Apache Taverna versions of these tools. If you are interested in migrating these too to Apache Taverna, please contact us.
