SEP 017 -- Modeling the Design-Build-Test-Learn Cycle with PROV-O Annotations

[bbartley]

This SEP specifies how design-build-test-learn workflows may be documented using PROV-O classes. The goals of this SEP are as follows:

• Decouples the design-build-test-learn process, according to the foundational principles for engineering biology.
• Provide clear guidance for using PROV-O with illustrative examples.
• Specifies where to add experimental data
• Provide an SBOL representation of biological instances of a design that can link to LIMS systems
• Capture workflow provenance, a description of the events of a workflow, which is crucial for scientific reproducibility
• Specify data structures which can be used to forward-engineer automated workflows.
• Supports model-based design.
• Supports an easy and intutive API for SBOL libraries.
• Represents workflows as a directed acyclic graph and enables tools to track workflow branches
