Schematic overview of the steps carried out by the Python program for converting Excel (“xls”) based ISA-TAB-Nano datasets to tab-delimited text (“txt”) based ISA-TAB-Nano datasets. For simplicity, only one Investigation, Study, Assay and Material file (and no external file such as an image) is included in this hypothetical dataset. In addition to the file processing steps summarised in this schematic, basic checks are carried out on the input: (1) there should be at least one Investigation, Study, Assay and Material file; (2) there should be no duplicate column titles in a Study, Assay or Material file other than those which are explicitly allowed by the ISA-TAB-Nano specification (e.g., “Unit”).
