👍

The Common Workflow Language

Both the SDK and the API read, write and run the Common Workflow Language (CWL), an open specification for data analysis workflows. The SDK Tool Editor generates a CWL description of a tool, using information inputted to its graphical interface. The API reads and writes tool descriptions as JSON formatted CWL.

Learn more about CWL on the CWL homepage.

Command Line Uploader

The CGC provides an upload client that runs from the command line. Use it to efficiently upload files from remote servers, or to incorporate file uploading into other workflows.
