[galaxy-dev] External representation of workflow

Hello everyone,

I need some advice on how to represent the output of all the different tools inside a workflow in an external application. I am looking into using galaxy as a digital evidence processing tool. It is very important that i can access the intermediate sets of data created by every tool's output. Some have suggested the actual tools should populate a database and that the secondary(viewer) application should just retrieve the applicable data form there.

Any suggestions? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Regards Fred
