New Harvard Forest Publication: Analytical Web Project Update

A new publication from the Analytic Web project (a joint effort of UMass computer scientists Lee Osterweil, Lori Clarke, Rodion Podorozhny, and Sandy Wise, and HF researchers Emery Boose and Aaron Ellison) further formalizes the semantics of scientific workflows needed to clearly define scientific processes and create process provenance metadata. These ideas and workflow structures are being used to analyze hydrological data from the Harvard Forest.
