WINGS workflow template for our clinical omics use-case. WINGS templates are fully connected representations of all components, datasets, and rules and constraints of an analysis pipeline needed to execute a semantically validated workflow run. A workflow template representing our clinical omics analysis pipeline. Within our workflow template, each step is represented by its component-type (grey rectangles); however, please note that individual components can also be sequentially connected to one another to build a workflow template that has all input and output datasets (blue rounded rectangles) represented. Once a workflow template is created, WINGS generates an accompanied GUI for the workflow template, thus allowing workflow users to execute workflow runs. Due to the enforcement of all user-defined rules and constraints, each workflow run is semantically validated. Pre-defined rules and constraints also enables WINGS to help guide users through a workflow run by suggesting semantically validated inputs and parameters (Suggest Data and Suggest Parameters buttons). For example, due to our predefined rules and constraints, only datasets with the same genomic assembly would be suggested for this workflow template
