Workflows are useful when a certain process (i.e. an ordering of tasks) is to be made repeatable and permanent. In TextGrid, workflows can be applied to a list of TextGridObjects that are to be processed in a batch. A second use is for Web Services that are to be made accessible in the TextGridLab, which, however, do not have their own graphical user interface (GUI). These services can be specified in a workflow and be enacted upon execution of the workflow.
