Introduction

During the last years, integration of various tools has been eased by the use of workbench systems such as Galaxy or frameworks using Common Workflow Language. Still, it remains time consuming and not straightforward to adapt resources to such environments. ToolDog (Tool DescriptiOn Generator) is the main component of the Workbench Integration Enabler service of the ELIXIR bio.tools registry, that guides the integration of tools into workbench environments.
