Description

Method and system for unifying expression of single-file command multi-step parameters and isomorphic linkage of GUI (graphical user interface) based on scope marks Technical Field The invention belongs to the field of data processing flow or workflow (pipeline) management, and particularly relates to a method and a system for unifying and linking single-file command multi-step parameter expression and GUI isomorphism based on a scope marker. Background In the field of data processing flows or workflow (pipeline) management, command Line Interfaces (CLIs) and Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) are often used to configure and execute multi-step flows. However, in the conventional implementation method, the CLI user configures each step through script or command line parameters, and the GUI user defines the interface and parameter mapping of each step tool by means of XML/YAML and other special configuration files, and then the interface and parameter mapping are converted into the underlying commands by the engine. The separation architecture causes the problems of cognitive fracture, increased maintenance points, difficult behavior tracing and the like. Existing schemes typically place the flow structure in an external file, do not natively support multi-step-level expressions inside the command, and thus have difficulty in achieving single-source facts and strictly reversible transformations of GUIs and CLIs. Current common solutions mainly include the following two categories: the GUI framework represented by Galaxy is characterized in that interface fields and parameter mapping are defined by the framework through tool description files such as XML, form data are translated into command line calls by a scheduler in operation, and parameter sets are maintained in independent scripts or configuration files by CLI users. The two are kept synchronous through a translation layer. The scheme has the following defects that two sources of GUI configuration and CLI script are required to be maintained simultaneously, modification cost is high, development burden is increased by writing and maintaining description files such as XML, GUI and CLI are actually two sets of logic, a translation layer is used as intermediate representation, error face and version drift risk are increased, real sources of parameters are distributed at multiple places, and difficulty is brought to audit and tracing. The other class is a CLI framework represented by Nextflow, nextflow, SNAKEMAKE, etc. workflow engines manage parameters mainly through domain-specific language scripts and configuration files. The user can either pass the parameters one by one in the command line or can centralize the parameters by means of a separate configuration file, such as a next flow. Config or YAML parameter file. For example Nextflow supports loading YAML or JSON files with-params-files into multiple parameters to avoid excessive command lines. The method simplifies CLI use, but has the following defects that extra configuration files are introduced, learning cost is increased, a single-row command is difficult to reproduce the complete structure and step details of a pipeline/GUI form based on the configuration files, GUI end operation is not supported originally, GUI service is needed to be provided by relying on third-party adaptation software, and consistency is needed to be manually maintained among DSL, GUI and shell command rows. In summary, the prior art either focuses on the GUI but requires additional programming of the configuration to achieve the CLI join, or focuses on the CLI but requires the user to manage the multi-step parameters themselves or with the aid of external configuration files. The two interfaces of GUI and CLI lack a direct and unified expression mode at the process fine granularity parameter setting level, which causes the following problems: 1) The user needs to master two sets of methods of GUI operation and CLI parameter configuration respectively, and the learning cost is high; 2) The realization of GUI and CLI has logic repetition, and the modification of one flow often needs to update the GUI configuration and the CLI script at the same time, so that the development and maintenance cost is high.
