	A key distinguishing feature of VisTrails is a comprehensive provenance infrastructure that maintains detailed history information about the steps followed and data derived in the course of an exploratory task: VisTrails maintains provenance of data products, of the workflows that derive these products and their executions. This information is persisted as XML files or in a relational database, and it allows users to navigate workflow versions in an intuitive way, to undo changes but not lose any results, to visually compare different workflows and their results, and to examine the actions that led to a result. It also enables a series operations and user interfaces that simplify workflow design and use, including the ability to create and refine workflows by analogy and to query workflows by example.

	VisTrails supports the creation and execution of workflows. It allows the combination of loosely-coupled resources, specialized libraries, grid and Web services. The released version comes with support for several packages including, [http://www.vtk.org/ VTK], [http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php Image Magick], Web Services, and [http://www.scipy.org/PyLab pylab].

	A key distinguishing feature of VisTrails is a comprehensive provenance infrastructure that maintains detailed history information about the steps followed and data derived in the course of an exploratory task: VisTrails maintains provenance of data products, of the workflows that derive these products and their executions. This information is persisted as XML files or in a relational database, and it allows users to navigate workflow versions in an intuitive way, to undo changes but not lose any results, to visually compare different workflows and their results, and to examine the actions that led to a result. It also enables a series operations and user interfaces that simplify workflow design and use, including the ability to create and refine workflows by analogy and to query workflows by example.

	VisTrails supports the creation and execution of workflows. It allows the combination of loosely-coupled resources, specialized libraries, grid and Web services. The released version comes with support for several packages including, [http://www.vtk.org/ VTK], [http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php Image Magick], Web Services, and [http://www.scipy.org/PyLab pylab]. You can also download [[UserContributedPackages\|packages contributed by our users]], as well as [http://~~www~~.~~vistrails~~.~~org~~/usersguide/v2.1/html/packages.html create your own packages/modules]. There are also a number of [[Projects using VisTrails\|projects extending or building on top of VisTrails]].		VisTrails supports the creation and execution of workflows.
