Obilib Module Overview

The obilua package provides Lua bindings for core OBIL (Ontology-Based Information Library) functionality, enabling scripting and extension of ontological data processing within a Lua environment.

Core Components

RegisterObilib(luaState *lua.LState)
Main registration function; initializes and exposes OBIL modules to a given Lua state.
RegisterObiSeq(luaState *lua.LState)
Registers sequence-related operations (e.g., parsing, manipulation, and analysis of biological sequences like DNA/RNA/proteins).
RegisterObiTaxonomy(luaState *lua.LState)
Registers taxonomy utilities (e.g., classification, lineage lookup, and hierarchical navigation of taxonomic trees).

Semantic Capabilities

Enables semantic querying over structured biological data via Lua scripts.
Supports integration of ontological reasoning (e.g., using GO, NCBI Taxonomy) in dynamic workflows.
Provides extensibility: new modules can be added by implementing Register* functions.

Design Principles

Minimal, non-intrusive API: only exposes essential high-level operations.
Leverages gopher-lua for seamless interoperability between Go and Lua.

Use Cases

Custom annotation pipelines in bioinformatics.
Interactive exploration of ontologies and sequences (e.g., via REPL or embedded Lua engines).
