graph2tab, a library to convert experimental workflow graphs into tabular formats.

ABSTRACT

MOTIVATIONS Spreadsheet-like tabular formats are ever more popular in the biomedical field as a mean for experimental reporting. The problem of converting the graph of an experimental workflow into a table-based representation occurs in many such formats and is not easy to solve. RESULTS: We describe graph2tab, a library that implements methods to realise such a conversion in a size-optimised way. Our solution is generic and can be adapted to specific cases of data exporters or data converters that need to be implemented. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION The library source code and documentation are available at http//github.com/ISA-tools/graph2tab.
