Galaxy and datatype management #13
Comments
However datatypes happen, I want them under test! There are datatypes in galaxy that currently won't ever match a dataset and no one really knows this because they've never had any test data. (ppm/pbm/pgm, all three get detected as the same type by PIL) |
According to our votes we will have our meeting on Thursday the 11.06.2015 at 16:00 UTC. If all works as expected this is will be our hangout: https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/calendar/YmpvZXJuLmdydWVuaW5nQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ.j69j1vmi47lni193vr8l7mvo58?authuser=0 Everyone is invited to discuss with us the handling of datatypes in Galaxy. Looking forward to a fruitful discussion! |
Just a short reminder that this meeting will start in about 4 hours. |
Have an appointment at 15:30 will try to join as soon as I am able. |

@blankenberg didn't shoot down biopython - he brought up it might be tough to get it in - he is definitely not a -1 if it is useful. I am working on the egg - I think we should just proceed as if it were going to be merged if it is useful until someone speaks up and says it won't be merged. I'm working on the egg now. |
I would like to discuss the management of datatypes in Galaxy with in more detail.
Since the last GCC we integrated a lot of new tools, with a lot of new datatypes. I don't feel comfortable with the current situation of datatype handling and I don't think we have communicated it very well to
other tool developers.
The aim of this discussion is to come up with a 'best-practise' guide and put it in https://github.com/galaxy-iuc/standards. I haven't started the discussion as github issue, as I think this problem is more
complicated and a video conference would fit better.
As it stands:
Simple example: https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/devteam/emboss_datatypes
More complicated example: https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/iuc/molecule_datatypes
Galaxy. Multiple versions can result in conflicts.
https://github.com/bgruening/galaxytools/tree/master/datatypes/emboss_datatypes but it was blocking the one-version-one-datatype fix in the TS.
TOP's:
Overall, I think datatypes are a great feature of Galaxy, especially if we can enhance/fix parallelism in many more datatypes, use EDAM everywhere etc ... but I really think we need to define a clear way forward.
As soon as we all agree on a time for a hangout I will update this Issue and invite everyone who wants to join.
Ciao,
Bjoern
