21. Interest in the Given Workflows Seeing analysis workflow descriptions in published research you read? Using a library of pre-built workflows to Run your analysis in this tool? Developing your own workflows again, with this tool? Modifying pre-built workflows in this tool, for your own purpose? Despite general lacklustre interest in EUD, interest in domain specific workflows is high.
