In the gold standard work, these workflows are specifically annotated 
"as services" - with a description,inputs and outputs and expanded 
pointers to the included service descriptions; in line with the way the 
services themselves are described.  ... and wow, we have loads of stuff.

If we then add all the other data that is associated with the 
experimental/organisational/provenance aspects of the workflow (rather 
than the technical sum of it's parts) it gets very very massive as 
Duncan and Antoon have said.

We need to think about presenting different views of the workflow to 
support the different reasons people view them - and not fall into the 
trap of a massively complex one size fits all view with an intimidating 
amount of confiiguration. 

Longer term, we may also need to allow the user to configure a view of 
their workflow suitable for publication of paper purposes. - I could 
imagine institutional looks&feels and a whole slew of logos being 
necessary in some cases :-)
