The BioCompute Object is in [[JSON|json]] format and, at a minimum, contains all the software versions and parameters necessary to evaluate or verify a computational pipeline. It may also contain input data as files or links, reference genomes, or executable Docker components. A BioCompute Object can be integrated with [[FHIR|HL7 FHIR]] as a Provenance Resource.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hl7.org/fhir/provenance-example-biocompute-object.html|title=Provenance-example-biocompute-object|website=HL7 FHIR Release 3 (STU)}}</ref>. Multiple joint implementations are also under development that leverage BCO's report-centric format, including CWL (one of which is part of an active government funded public contract with a cofounder of CWL to pilot and generate documentation for a joint BCO-CWL, as well as examples) and RO.<ref>{{Citation|last=Soiland-Reyes|first=Stian|title=hive-cwl-examples: Packaging BioCompute Objects using RO-Crate|date=2020-09-01|url=https://biocompute-objects.github.io/bco-ro-crate/}}</ref>.
