Could be of interest to scipp. They already put work to link to https://www.nexusformat.org. Maybe they would be interested in JData as well. — Also, what could be interesting is "format independent standard”. So that there is a general standard of data structures, which is adapted by different data formats, which are in turn implemented in different languages. Something like SansIO concept in the world of protocols. — Benefits: a) This way, if format obeys the standard, I would be certain that directed graph has node, edge, and graph attributes. b) Also, selling this to different libraries would be easier. Numpy would only need to implement 2 methods (to/from), which can be used by different formats and libraries. c) Another benefit of this would be that it would be possible to skip “format” step to convert between different libraries. E.g. xarray and scipp. d) Finally, if I decide to make my own data class, say graph. I only need 2 methods to be able to convert it to any other library. — I would happily be part of such project.

Thank you dom for this encouraging comment !
I agree with these remarks. I will indeed integrate the extensions made by scipp to Xarray.
Note: I am also looking for feedback regarding the analysis of tabular structures (e.g. to identify the hidden multidimensional structure): https://github.com/loco-philippe/tab-analysis/blob/main/docs/tabular_analysi.... pdf. Do you think this might be of interest to scipp or Xarray? _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list -- numpy-discussion@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to numpy-discussion-leave@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/numpy-discussion.python.org/ Member address: dom.grigonis@gmail.com
