Lavoisier

Lavoisier is a language which allows the selection of entities from a domain model and transforms the selected entities instances into tabular-formatted data, which can be used as input of data mining algorithms for an analysis.

You can find data selection examples in the lavoisier-example Eclipse project of this repository, or in the lavoisier-evaluation external repository where a comparison between Lavoisier and state-of-the-art technologies for data selection and formating is shown.

Requirements

Xtext 2.8.4.

Usage instructions

  • Import "es.unican.lavoisier..." projects into an eclipse workspace.
  • Generate model code for all genmodels present in es.unican.lavoisier.domainModels/models/
  • Right-click "es.unican.lavoisier/src/es.unican.lavoisier/Lavoisier.xtext" and run "Generate Xtext artifacts".
  • Right-click "es.unican.lavoisier" project and select "Run Eclipse Application".
  • In the newly opened eclipse instance, import "lavoisier-example" project.
  • The file "extractions/dummy.lv" inside that project is a simple example of dataset specifications over a domain model. CSV files are generated at src-gen folder.

Pinset

Pinset is a language that follows similar principles and objectives to those of Lavoisier. It has been implemented on top of the Epsilon platform, so its main focus is to provide a modelling tool for software engineers to extract datasets from models in a model-driven engineering context.
