Galaxy Objects: Histories Workflows, Datasets and Pages
Galaxy objects are anything that can be saved, persisted, and shared in Galaxy:
- Histories
- Histories are computational analyses (recipes) run with specified input datasets, computational steps and parameters. Histories include all intermediate and output datasets as well.
- Workflows
- Workflows are computational analyses that specify all the steps (and parameters) in the analysis, but none of the data. Workflows are used to run the same analysis against multiple sets of input data.
- Datasets
- Datasets includes any input, intermediate, or output dataset, used or produced in an analysis.
- Pages
- Histories, workflows and datasets can include user-provided annotation. Galaxy Pages enables the creation of a virtual paper that describes the how and why of the overall experiment. Tight integration of Pages with Histories, Workflows, and Datasets supports this goal.

Famous quotes containing the words galaxy, histories and/or pages:
“for it is not so much to know the self
as to know it as it is known
by galaxy and cedar cone,
as if birth had never found it
and death could never end it:”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“As soon as histories are properly told there is no more need of romances.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“Our brains are no longer conditioned for reverence and awe. We cannot imagine a Second Coming that would not be cut down to size by the televised evening news, or a Last Judgment not subject to pages of holier-than-Thou second- guessing in The New York Review of Books.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
