Alida provides a framework for automatic documentation of data analysis procedures.

Operators
The operator concept is the main ingredient of Alida. By developing such operators, the processing steps
of an analysis procedure can be linked to a directed graph structure, which allows self-documentation
of the entire analysis process.
Each resulting data object, being the result of a certain operator or sequence of operations, is associated with a
history graph in XML format.
