Alida - Automatic Logging of Process Information in Data Analysis

Alida is a library for automatic documentation of data analysis processes. In Alida each data analysis or manipulation action is realized in terms of an operator that acts on given data to produce desired output data. Operator calls are registered within the framework together with their input and output objects as well as parameters. These data acquired during the analysis process and the order of operator calls form a directed graph datastructure containing all relevant information for later reconstruction or verification of the analysis procedure. Alida allows to make the directed graph datastructure explicit in terms of XML representations which can be visually explored with appropriate graphical frontends like Chipory, or might be stored in data bases for archival purposes.
