Use Case Name: Archive a complete end to end run ("publication ready archive")

Version:
Summary:

Users would like the ability to create a "publication ready archive"--an archive that contains the Kepler workflow, all required inputs (data sources like database tables are included), and all produced output. For example, at the completion of a study, a user can produce this archive and submit it (or a link to it) alongside their paper to peers and journals.

Preconditions:

• User has created workflow that contains everything needed (eg data sources).
• User documents any external software the workflow requires

Triggers:

User exports workflow

Basic course of events:

User creates a workflow. User turns on "publication ready archive" mode. User runs workflow, and exports to an archive at completion.

Alternative paths:

User uses features from "Smart Rerun", "Manage a group of model runs", and "save intermediate derived data products" usecase (ie a special "publication ready archive" mode might not be required).

Postconditions:

Business rules:
Notes:

A specific "publication ready archive" option would not be required if requirements for usecases mentioned in Alt Paths are implemented.
