Synopsis
=========

*odMLtables* is a tool to support working with metadata collections for electrophysiological data.
*odMLtables* is a tool to support working with metadata collections for electrophysiological data and is described in detail in `Sprenger et al. (2019) odMLtables: A User-Friendly Approach for Managing Metadata of Neurophysiological Experiments`_.

The odML_ file format and library API provides a means to store hierarchical metadata collections for electrophysiological data. Such collections typically consist of a large number of key-value pairs organized by a hierarchy of sections (see `Grewe et al, 2011, Frontiers in Neuroinformatics 5, 16`_). However, for editing and viewing metadata the use of standard spreadsheet software offering a flat tabular representation of a selected subset of metadata is desireable (cf., `Zehl et al, 2016, Frontiers in Neuroinformatics 10, 26`_). *odMLtables* provides a set of library functions as well as a graphical user interface that offers to swtich between hierarchical and flat representations of their metadata collection, and provides functions that assist in working with these files.
