<br>
One of the key features of OpenRefine is its ability to extract<br>
sequences of operations from a project and replay them on another. But<br>
this functionality is far from perfect: working with the JSON<br>
representation of operations can be cumbersome. It is hard to tell what<br>
a workflow does. Tweaking a workflow can break it easily, and it is not<br>
that easy to share it with others.<br>
<br>
One project I have been working on is trying to devise a graphical<br>
representation of OpenRefine workflows, so that users could inspect them<br>
and manipulate them graphically.<br>
<br>
I am presenting this project on Friday at the Applied Category Theory<br>
conference:<br>
<a href="http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/ACT2019/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/ACT2019/</a><br>
Category theory is a mathematical theory which can be used among others<br>
to design graphical representations for mathematical objects.<br>
<br>
The (academic) paper can be read here:<br>
<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.05937.pdf" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.05937.pdf</a><br>
It is primarily written for computer scientists and mathematicians, not<br>
the OpenRefine community. I am hoping to write something more<br>
explanatory for the OR community, giving examples of representations of<br>
workflows, and discussing the possible implementations of these ideas.<br>
<br>
Any feedback would be very welcome!<br>
<br>
Antonin<br>
