Add support for ELNFileFormat export #1046

Closed

Description

@SteffenBrinckmann

Hey, looking into datalab, it seems similar to an eln. Would you be interested in joining the eln condition and supporting the .eln for format?

    Hi @SteffenBrinckmann, in general, yes, though probably initially only export. I'm hoping this will be an outcome of the next MADICES for datalab.

    • It might be easiest to start with an example version. From my point of view, the kadi4mat-collections example has all important feature included but no extraneous. link
    • The biggest obstacle from my experience is getting the file RO-crate compliant. In the repo there is a pytest, include your .eln in it and remove the others. And your .eln will be focused on, locally - no github CI required.
    • just create a pull-request and it will be included.
    • if you have questions, ... I can help.

    Thanks @SteffenBrinckmann, we'll have some people looking at this over the next month before MADICES (tracked also at #1332).

    I think we can consider this closed, pending merging of TheELNConsortium/TheELNFileFormat#136

    Thanks for the help getting it over the line @SteffenBrinckmann! I think the current README is fine, I've opened an issue tracking .ELN import but think this would take us a while longer as it's not clear what entry type we would want to attach to.

    Please do add us to the consortium!
