I have been spending the last few months updating the database to include 9 vertex graphs and a better organization. I've also been developing a Python-QT application to access the database on computers without internet access (I see that that might mesh nicely with the Python used in the SAGE project). I'm reorganizing the database and converting to SQLite and/or PostgreSQL instead of MySQL. I'm not quite finished yet, but I should be soon (maybe a month or so). I'd love any input on the project, an interface, or anything else.
SAGE doesn't currently include any relational databases, but I could include SQLite. Your graph database very likely does make good use of relation databases.
How do you propose that we incorporate the database into SAGE? As a SQLite file with the two query pages that I've written (they are in PHP)? Or maybe a custom interface to NetworkX?
As a SQLite file with Python commands to query the database, which will return a list of SAGE graphs with given properties. The SAGE graph class is just a wrapper around networkx's graph class. Users can then easily plot the graphs in the SAGE notebook, and do other operations with them.
What is the best way to interact with the other programs? It'd be nice to be able to query for all graphs having a specific property and then import them into GAP or NetworkX or Magma or something automatically.
SAGE graphs will have the ability to be transformed into GAP or Magma graphs (I think this is implemented yet, but will be). The actual interaction works pretty simply from within SAGE. E.g., in the future to get a GAP graph from a SAGE graph G, just to gap(G).
