Figure 7. Schematic workflow for generating odML files in the reach-to-grasp experiment. The Templates box (top): illustrates three out of six template parts which are used to build the complete, but (mostly) empty odML Document combining metadata of one recording session in the experiment. The three possible template formats (script, odML file, and spreadsheet) are indicated within the gray shaded boxes (left to right, respectively). The Metadata collection box (left) illustrates all metadata sources of a recording session (black labeled small boxes) ordered according to file formats (white boxes). Labels of metadata sources are listed in Table 2. The central large white box shows the workflow of the odML generator routine (odMLGenerator.py). Code snippets used at the different steps of this workflow are illustrated in the smaller gray scaled boxes whose colors represent the software used for the code (see legend right of center). The black colored boxes indicate files or file stages. The workflow consists of five steps: (i) loading all template parts, (ii) merging all template parts into one empty odML Document, (iii) loading all metadata sources of a session, partially with custom-made routines (metadata_io), (iv) integrating all metadata sources into the empty odML Document using custom-made routines (metadata_io), and (v) saving the filled odML Document as odML file of the corresponding recording session. The Metadata collection box (right) illustrates the reduction of all metadata sources of one recording session to one metadata source (odML file).
