The expedition to make MAW FAIR started with the open source code policy, and though the FAIR practices were initiated during workflow development, they persisted throughout its lifecycle and are anticipated to continue as new features are integrated into the workflow. Essential to the FAIRification process were: 1) the utilisation of CWL description, and 2) the submission to WorkflowHub, both of which greatly simplified and automated the process. Comprehensive CWL description of MAW and the workflow execution via cwltool, streamlined the workflow standardisation and execution, with the possibility to extract retrospective provenance, and parallelise multiple input files. Utilising WorkflowHub's integration of fundamental FAIR components, including workflow RO-crate and BioSchemas, required minimal effort from the developer side given that a GitHub repository and CWL description was already available for MAW. While the automatically generated RO-Crate during WorkflowHub submission lacked detailed workflow component explanations, this contextual description is available on Zenodo for reference.
