myExperiment (http://www.myexperiment.org) is an online research environment that supports the social sharing of bioinformatics workflows. These workflows are procedures consisting of a series of computational tasks using web services, which may be performed on data from its retrieval, integration and analysis, to the visualization of the results. As a public repository of workflows, myExperiment allows anybody to discover those that are relevant to their research, which can then be reused and repurposed to their specific requirements. Conversely, developers can submit their workflows to myExperiment and enable them to be shared in a secure manner. Since its release in 2007, myExperiment currently has over 3500 registered users and contains more than 1000 workflows. The social aspect to the sharing of these workflows is facilitated by registered users forming virtual communities bound together by a common interest or research project. Contributors of workflows can build their reputation within these communities by receiving feedback and credit from individuals who reuse their work. Further documentation about myExperiment including its REST web service is available from http://wiki.myexperiment.org. Feedback and requests for support can be sent to bugs@myexperiment.org.
myExperiment（http://www.myexperiment.org）是一个在线研究环境，支持生物信息学工作流程的社会化共享。这些工作流程是由一系列使用 Web 服务的计算任务组成的，它们可以对从检索、集成和分析到结果可视化的数据进行操作。作为工作流程的公共存储库，myExperiment 允许任何人发现与其研究相关的工作流程，然后可以根据其特定需求对其进行重复使用和重新利用。反过来，开发人员也可以将他们的工作流程提交给 myExperiment，并以安全的方式共享。自 2007 年发布以来，myExperiment 目前拥有超过 3500 名注册用户，其中包含超过 1000 个工作流程。通过注册用户形成虚拟社区，这些工作流程的共享是通过共同的兴趣或研究项目联系在一起的。工作流程的贡献者可以通过从重复使用他们工作的个人那里获得反馈和信用，在这些社区中建立自己的声誉。有关 myExperiment 的更多文档，包括其 REST Web 服务，可从 http://wiki.myexperiment.org 获取。反馈和支持请求可以发送至 bugs@myexperiment.org。
