[opdev] Operon + KNime = Workflow !
Pierre Lindenbaum
This message is about creating plugins handling Operon-DB for KNime.
As a reminder, KNime ( http://www.knime.org ) is a workflow engine
"that enables the user to visually create data flows (often referred
to as pipelines), selectively execute some or all analysis steps, and
later investigate the results through interactive views on data and
models."
KNime is open source project, implemented in eclipse and users can
create some new workers/nodes as a set of plugins.
I'm working on generating a new worker each database in operon.
I've just created a plugin for the database UTERMS, but writing the
nodes for all the DB should be straightforward now with
apache-velocity.
See the attachment for a screenshot.
Basically this workflow reads a text file containing 4 identifiers:
EIF4G
RoXaN
roxan
HelloWorld
A second node "KNimeUTerms" use Operon to find the term-id of each terms
The last node is used to display the results.
Hey ! I think it's cool ! :-)
