A work􀀍ow-centric research object bundles a work􀀍ow, the provenance of the results obtained by its enactment, other digital objects that are relevant for the experiment (papers, datasets, etc.), and annotations that semantically describe all these objects. In this paper, we propose a model to specify work􀀍ow-centric research objects, and show how the model can be grounded using semantic technologies and existing vocabularies, in particular the Object Reuse and Exchange (ORE) model and the Annotation Ontology (AO) . We describe the life-cycle of a research object, which resembles the life-cycle of a scienti􀀌c experiment.  \n1 Introduction  \nScienti􀀌c work􀀍ows are used to describe series of structured activities and computations that arise in scienti􀀌c problem-solving, providing scientists from virtually any discipline with a means to specify and enact their experiments [3] . From a computational perspective, such experiments (work􀀍ows) can be de􀀌ned as directed acyclic graphs where the nodes correspond to analysis operations, which can be supplied locally or by third party web services, and where the edges specify the 􀀍ow of data between those operations.  \nBesides being useful to describe and execute computations, work􀀍ows also allow encoding of scienti􀀌c methods and know-how. Hence they are valuable objects from a scholarly point of view, for several reasons: (i) to allow assessment of the reproducability of results; (ii) to be reused by the same or by a di􀀋erent scientist; (iii) to be repurposed for other goals than those for which it was originally built; (iv) to validate the method that led to a new scienti􀀌c insight;(v) to serve as live-tutorials, exposing how to take advantage of existing data infrastructure, etc. This follows a trend that can be observed in disciplines such  \n2  \nas Biology and Astronomy, with other types of objects, such as databases, increasingly becoming part of the research outcomes of an individual or a group, and hence also being shared, cited, reused, versioned, etc. [11]  \nHowever, the use of work􀀍ow speci􀀌cations on their own does not guarantee to support reusability, shareability, reproducibility, or better understanding of scienti􀀌c methods. Work􀀍ow environment tools evolve across the years, or they may even disappear. The services and tools used by the work􀀍ow may change or evolve too. Finally, the data used by the work􀀍ow may be updated or no longer available. To overcome these issues, additional information may be needed. This includes annotations to describe the operations performed by the work􀀍ow; annotations to provide details like authors, versions, citations, etc.; links to other resources, such as the provenance of the results obtained by executing the work􀀍ow, datasets used as input, etc.. Such additional annotations enable a comprehensive view of the experiment, and encourage inspection of the di􀀋erent elements of that experiment, providing the scientist with a picture of the strengths and weaknesses of the digital experiment in relation to decay, adaptability, stability, etc.  \nThese richly annotation objects are what we call work􀀍ow-centric research objects.
