WDL aims to be readable and writable by a wide variety of audiences, including software engineers, domain experts, and platform operators. To this end, the language prioritizes providing a concise, domain-specific grammar that expresses the majority of (but not all) workflows succinctly.
The Workflow Description Language (WDL) (pronounced as /hwɪdl/ or "whittle" with a 'd') is an open standard for describing data processing workflows using a human-readable/writeable syntax.
However, unlike CWL, WDL does not directly have the concept of a Tool built into it, instead, “WDL Tools” are a Dockstore-only concept which exists for legacy reasons.
Running a WDL workflow generally requires two files: A .wdl file, which contains the actual workflow, and a .json file, which provides the inputs for the workflow.
Now that you’ve successfully run a Workflow on AnVIL-powered-by-Terra, this tutorial demonstrates how you can create and edit a WDL using the Broad Methods Repository.
