Toolkit for modeling complex datasets with collections of user-friendly tables
Project description
ObjTables: Toolkit for modeling complex data as collections of user-friendly tables with the ease of Excel and the power of schemas
ObjTables is a toolkit for using schemas to model collections of tables that represent complex datasets, combining the ease of use of Excel with the rigor and power of schemas.
ObjTables makes it easy to:
Use collections of tables (e.g., an Excel workbook) to represent complex data consisting of multiple related objects of multiple types (e.g., rows of worksheets), each with multiple attributes (e.g., columns).
Use complex data types (e.g., numbers, strings, numerical arrays, symbolic mathematical expressions, chemical structures, biological sequences, etc.) within tables.
Use Excel as a graphical interface for viewing and editing complex datasets.
Use embedded tables and grammars to encode relational information into columns and groups of columns of tables.
Define clear schemas for tabular datasets.
Use schemas to rigorously validate tabular datasets.
Use schemas to parse tabular datasets into data structures for further analysis in languages such as Python.
Compare, merge, split, revision, and migrate tabular datasets.
The ObjTables toolkit includes five components:
Format for schemas for tabular datasets
Numerous data types
Format for tabular datasets
Software tools for parsing, validating, and manipulating tabular datasets
