In this paper we propose to achieve a semantic equivalence between a visual- and a script-based workflow development paradigm. We accomplish this by building a script language which execution semantics matches an existing sophisticated, data-parallel scientific workflow language and its underlying GUI-based core workflow enactor. This development caters to the need of users with different levels of expertise in writing scientific workflows. A two-ways representation translator makes it possible to convert any source workflow into its semantically equivalent counter-part, and therefore use a single enactor independently of the user's preferred representation.
