Question: Batch Processing Of Many Input Files And Then Combining The Results

Hi,
(Warning: Galaxy newbie here.)
I'd like to run a series of galaxy tools repeatedly on multiple input
files. In other words, I have input data files [data1, data2, ...,
dataN] and I want to apply [step1, step2] to each of these files to
produce [output1, output2, ..., outputN]. I know that I can automate
the
application of the multiple steps to a single input file as a
workflow,
but is there any way to automate running a workflow multiple times on
multiple inputs through the Galaxy web interface? (I see the scripts
in
scripts/api, but I'm looking for something entirely driven by the web
user interface.)
For a second question, is there a recommended way of combining then
merging the results (e.g. from multiple workflows) into a single file?
The use case for this is that we're doing experiments on lots of
individual flies from several genotypes and we want to analyze data
from
our individual fly experiments but then pool results across flies from
the same genotype and compare with other genotypes. I imagine this is
pretty similar to what a lot of people are doing, but somehow I'm not
getting how this might be done with Galaxy.
Thanks,
Andrew
