npm run test-graphdoc-build

Vision

CIBridge will build the bridges that connect everyone at the lab (and beyond) together. It will provide the infrastructure to join three realms: data scientists who use GUIs, data scientists who write scripts, and software developers who create hardened software.

Goals

• CIBridge API - Create an API which allows users to run algorithms, including from CIShell, over a standard GraphQL API.
• Create Bridges - Using the CIBridge API create bridges to and from CIShell, R, Python, and JavaScript.
• Update CIShell - Clean up and modernize CIShell, Sci2, and its algorithms.

Basic Interaction Diagram

Epics

• Revamp the CIShell build infrastructure
• Remove old algorithms, updating existing good algorithms, and adding new algorithms
• Divorce the algorithms from the UI (and Eclipse) completely
• Create a GraphQL API (CIBridge) for using algorithms over the web/anywhere
• Update the Sci2 UI to use algorithms over the CIBridge API
• Create a test harnass to effectively test CIBridge and algorithms advertised by CIBridge
• Document CIBridge
• Release Sci2 v1.5 and CIBridge 1.0
• Create Python, R, and JavaScript/TypeScript clients to the CIBridge API
• Create Python, R, and JavaScript servers which advertise algorithms written in their respective languages via their own CIBridge API implementation
• Create a completely new UI, DinoShell, in Angular
• Create Sci2 2.0 with DinoShell 1.0, CIShell 2.0, and CIBridge 1.0.
