Module: BEL::Translator::Plugins::BelScript::BelDiscreteSerialization

Includes:
NanopubSerialization
Defined in:
lib/bel/translator/plugins/bel_script/bel_discrete_serialization.rb

Overview

BEL Script nanopub serialization that writes each nanopub with their full set of annotations (i.e. includes all ‘SET` and necessary `UNSET` records). This style is more readable because it groups all set annotations near the BEL statement.

Examples:

Discrete serialization for a group of nanopub

Instance Method Details

#to_bel(nanopub) ⇒ String

Serialize the nanopub to a BEL Script string. Includes all necessary SET AnnotationName and UNSET AnnotationName records around the BEL statement.

Parameters:

  • nanopub (BEL::Nanopub::Nanopub) —

    the nanopub to serialize

Returns:

  • (String) —

    the BEL Script string
