For the latest version, see the \n[`develop`][dev] branch.\n\nA transformation language is used to describe *processes*, like the ones \nimplicit in workflows or software tools, as *transformations between \ntypes*. These types do not necessarily denote a concrete data structure, \nand the descriptions may be independent from any particular \nimplementation. The goal is only to capture some properties that are \ndeemed *conceptually* relevant, as a form of *procedural metadata*.\n\n`transforge` facilitates defining a transformation language and parsing \nits expressions into semantic graphs. It is written in pure Python with \nfew dependencies.\n\nIn order to reason about about transformations, it also implements a \n[type inference](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_inference) module, \nwhich accommodates both \n[subtype-](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtyping) and \n[parametric](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_polymorphism) \npolymorphism.\n\nExpressions of a transformation language can be turned into \ntransformation graphs. Such graphs can be serialized into \n[RDF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_Framework), or \nconverted to [SPARQL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARQL) queries and \nmatched against other graphs. This enables flexible searching through \nprocesses.\n\n**The library is still in development. Interfaces might change without \nwarning.**\n\n\n### Usage\n\nThis package was developed for the [CCT](https://github.com/quangis/cct) \nalgebra for geographical information, which may act as an example.\n\n[Click here for the tutorial][tut].\n\n[tut]: https://github.com/quangis/transforge/blob/develop/docs/tutorial.md\n[dev]: https://github.com/quangis/transforge/tree/develop\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fquangis%2Ftransforge","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fquangis%2Ftransforge","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fquangis%2Ftransforge/lists"}
