Interoperability with Network Canvas

[jthrilly]

Hello stocnet team! 👋

My name is Joshua Melville, and I'm from the Network Canvas project (https://github.com/complexdatacollective https://networkcanvas.com). I really love what you are doing with this collection of packages! This work is much needed, and I think it will make a big difference to the community. I think our projects share an overall ethos, and there is a lot to gain by this sort of refinement and standardisation.

I would love to get together to talk about ways that we can make our software interoperable, which I think could eventually provide a nice workflow for researchers. In particular, I think we should start to discuss file formats, data structures, and APIs with an eye for the development we have planned for the coming years.

I'm currently in your talk in Paris, and I will say hello after the session, but I wanted to put this here incase others are interested in joining the discussion. I will update here with the outcome if our discussions.

Thank you for this work!

I discussed this idea with James, and I hope to get in touch with him in the future to talk more specifically about some proposals. If any others are interested in joining this conversation, please feel free to contact me.

Hi Joshua, I suggest raising this as an issue in {manynet} in the first instance. Once there is adequate import/coercion, other packages can work with Network Canvas outputs.
