Pipeline Graph (DAG) Visualization about bionode-watermill HOT 4 CLOSED

See the current JSON representation here. Note the duplicated logging of nodes if they are children of other nodes. This JSON graph structure is probably not ideal, or at least, should be created from another structure of { nodes: [], edges: []}.

It could be useful to use a more standard graph format. The most ideal would be:

• serializable (so it can belong to redux state)
• can be loaded into a nice graph api

Some links:

• GraphSON Format
• GraphSON Reader and Writer Library
• GraphSON file format parsing library using Node.js Streams
• SO: What is the most standard file format and notation for persisting expressive directed graphs?
• a GML file

Even OBO could work: this could have nodes for a file, which might have an edge "created_by" and "used_by" to different task nodes

We now have this kind of structure and a simple graph visualization with d3, available at localhost:8084 when watermill is running. Though, it still lacks operationString.

Shall we close this? Of course graph visualization can be further improved but for now we have a simple DAG visualization tool.

Yes lets close for now. We can always make an issue for more specific improvements.
