ObjTables is a community initiative to make supplementary spreadsheets to journal articles – one of the most common methods for sharing scientific data – more reusable. The long-term goal is to create an ecosystem of reusable data for comparative and integrative research.
ObjTables combines the ease of use of spreadsheets (XLSX file or set of CSV or TSV files) with the rigor of schemas and the power of object-oriented programming.
ObjTables is ideal for exchanging scientific data such as supplementary spreadsheets to journal articles. ObjTables makes it easy for both authors to build and quality control spreadsheets and for other investigators to reanalyze, compare, and compose their spreadsheets.
ObjTables builds on a community initiative to make supplementary spreadsheets more reusable. Our goal is to create an ecosystem of reusable data for comparative and integrative research.
