Abstract: Reusing and repurposing scientific workflows for novel scientific experiments is nowadays facilitated by workflow repositories. Such repositories allow scientists to find existing workflows and re-execute them. However, workflow input parameters often need to be adjusted to the research problem at hand. Adapting these parameters may become a daunting task due to the infinite combinations of their values in a wide range of applications. Thus, a scientist may preferably use an automated optimization mechanism to adjust the workflow set-up and improve the result. Currently, automated optimizations must be started from scratch as optimization meta-data are not stored together with workflow provenance data. This important meta-data is lost and can neither be reused nor assessed by other researchers. In this paper we present a novel approach to capture optimization meta-data by extending the Research Object model and reusing the W3C standards. We validate our proposal through a real-world use case taken from the biodivertsity domain, and discuss the exploitation of our solution in the context of existing e-Science infrastructures.
