> We are going to add parsers for ISA-Tab data formats.
> ISA-Tab files are related to [ISA Tools|http://www.isa-tools.org/] which help
> to manage an increasingly diverse set of life science, environmental and
> biomedical experiments that employing one or a combination of technologies.
> The ISA tools are built upon _Investigation_, _Study_, and _Assay_ tabular
> format. Therefore, ISA-Tab data format includes three types of file:
> Investigation file ({{a_xxxx.txt}}), Study file ({{s_xxxx.txt}}), Assay file
> ({{a_xxxx.txt}}). These files are organized as [top-down
> hierarchy|http://www.isa-tools.org/format/specification/]: An Investigation
> file includes one or more Study files: each Study files includes one or more
> Assay files.
> Essentially, the Investigation files contains high-level information about
> the related study, so it provides only metadata about ISA-Tab files.
> More details on file format specification are [available
> online|http://isatab.sourceforge.net/docs/ISA-TAB_release-candidate-1_v1.0_24nov08.pdf].
> The patch in attachment provides a preliminary version of ISA-Tab parsers
> (there are three parsers; one parser for each ISA-Tab filetype):
> * {{ISATabInvestigationParser.java}}: parses Investigation files. It extracts
> only metadata.
> * {{ISATabStudyParser.java}}: parses Study files.
> * {{ISATabAssayParser.java}}: parses Assay files.
> The most important improvements are:
> * Combine these three parsers in order to parse an ISArchive
> * Provide a better mapping of both study and assay data on XHML. Currently,
> {{ISATabStudyParser}} and {{ISATabAssayParser}} provide a naive mapping
> function relying on [Apache Commons
> CSV|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-csv/].
> Thanks for supporting me on this work [~chrismattmann].
