SBOL3 import/export from OpenVectorEditor

[jakebeal]

Background

OpenVectorEditor is a free and open tool for sequence visualization and editing. It does not yet support SBOL, however, making it hard to use in SBOL-enabled workflows.

Goal

This project will allow OpenVectorEditor to read and wrote SBOL3 files.
Correctness will be confirmed by round-tripping at least the Sequence and Component objects from SBOL3 files from the SBOL test suite.

Difficulty Level 1

SBOL-utilities already has a converter application, one will just need to figure out how to integration conversion capabilities with OpenVectorEditor and test it thoroughly.

Skills

Essential skills: JavaScript
Nice to have skills: SBOL, Python

Public Repository

https://github.com/TeselaGen/openVectorEditor
An issue for this capability is open on the project already: TeselaGen/openVectorEditor#786
