Research Object Crate

All nf-core pipelines MUST come with their own Research Object (RO) Crate. RO Crate is an open-source standard which we use to describe our pipelines and their components in a structured way and helps with automated provenance tracking.

Note

The RO Crate generated with nf-core/tools describes the pipeline as a whole, not pipeline runs. For that kind of provenance, use the new nf-prov plugin, which is currently in development.
