wossdata
Function
Description
wossdata searches the annotation of application inputs and
outputs in ACD files, using terms from the EDAM ontology. There are
various options for controlling how the search is performed and what
is given in the output file. Optionally, the output will be wrapped
in HTML tags ready for inclusion in a Web page.
Algorithm
The first search is of the EDAM ontology data namespace, using the
term names and their synonynms. All child terms are automatically
included in the set of matches inless the -nosubclasses
qualifier is used.
The -sensitive qualifier also searches the definition strings.
The set of EDAM terms are then compared to relations in the ACD file,
where input, output and parameter definitions require data references.
Usage
Command line arguments
Input file format
wossdata reads the brief descriptions and the program groups from
the ACD files. (ACD files control the parameters that the programs
expect - don't worry about them unless you are writing EMBOSS
programs).
Output file format
The results are written out as a simple list of program names and
short descriptions.
