Details on how to do this task: Document the provenance of the results

I am using Scapple to make my workflow diagram. It was intended for diagramming story structure in fiction, but I've found this to be a useful tool for making entity relationship diagrams (ERDs) for relational databases and wanted to try it out for workflows.

20 Mar 2015: Diagram is also available at Zenodo: http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16243 (but thanks to Suzanne, I now know I can just upload these directly to the wiki!)

Note from Telecon 3/20: I need to include more information about what specific processing each of the software components did to the data files. Perhaps by adding text to the actual diagram boxes? That would make those boxes very large. Or would it work to give them all numbers, and then make a separate page with notes in outline form?

Note from Telecon 4/3: use footnotes on a separate page, since the workflow diagram is already pretty complex.

11 Apr 2015: updated version of workflow diagram. Coming soon: a separate page keyed to the blue letters.
