Concepts

See Concepts for the basic concepts behind the file format and datatypes built on top of hdf5.

The data schema

See Data Schema for a detailed definition of the data schema and how to define it for a given dataset.

What does the import script generate?

See Import Script for a detailed definition of what is generated by the import script.

What does the processing script generate?

See Processing Script for a detailed definition of what is generated by the processing script.

Examples

See Examples for a whole range of useful operations using the pipeline.

Usage with python

Having run exetera import, you should have a hdf5 file containing the fields imported from the source csv files, along with additional fields that have been generated from the source data. Once this is done, you can query fields, run custom analyses and write additional fields to your dataset (or to additional files).

Refactors
