This repo holds in-development draft description of the specification being developed on the Common Workflow Language mailing list.
The Common Workflow Language (CWL) is an informal, multi-vendor working group consisting of various organizations and individuals that have an interest in portability of data analysis workflows. Our goal is to create specifications that enable data scientists to describe analysis tools and workflows that are powerful, easy to use, portable, and support reproducibility.
CWL builds on technologies such as JSON-LD and Avro for data modeling and Docker for portable runtime environments.
CWL is designed to express workflows for data-intensive science, such as Bioinformatics, Chemistry, Physics, and Astronomy.

Please be aware that Common Workflow Language is still under heavy development. The current draft is draft 2. This draft is not final.
Current work-in-progress implementations of the common workflow language:
