[kepler-users] Ontology

[Shawn Bowers]

Hi Stuart,

Kepler supports both the ability to tag actors with OWL-DL classes and
also actor input and output ports (i.e., the mechanism for connecting
workflow components).

Also, a number of tools were developed within Kepler to facilitate
"electronic lab notebook" like features, such as provenance (capturing
input, output, and intermediate data of a workflow run, as well as
tools for querying and browsing), and reporting tools.
