Existing exporters for Blueprints #4

Closed pablopareja closed 10 years ago

pablopareja commented 10 years ago

It seems that there already are two preexisting exporters to

as part of Blueprints. Those two tools should be explored in order to see whether they should be used or not. If so, a GraphML --> Gexf converter could be used in order to get the desired gexf file.

So we would use these exporters in our library?

How will the architecture of the exporter look like? I'm not sure how it will be connected to bio4j.

I had a deeper look at this and it seems that these exporters work with whole graphs as parameters so in principle they might not be useful for our use case . Anyways, in order to use them we would have to first create a new graph holding the results of the query and then export the whole thing. It's though an option we could consider since we would be getting rid of the process of dealing with the XML generation in exchange of writing temporal graphs holding the results of the query. @eparejatobes What do you think?

@bio4j/exporter I'll take a look

I can try to test these exporters with small cases during next week.

Here are the libraries: GraphML GML GraphJSON
