myExperiment is a social web site for researchers sharing Research Objects such as Scientific Workflows. The www.myexperiment.org Website was launched in November 2007 and contains a significant collection of scientific workflows for a variety of workflow systems, most notably Taverna. myExperiment has a REST API and is based on an open source Ruby on Rails codebase.

The myExperiment project is directed by David De Roure at University of Southampton and is one of the activities of the myGrid consortium, which is led by Carole Goble of The University of Manchester, UK. It is funded by JISC under the Virtual Research Environment programme and by the Microsoft Technical Computing Initiative.
