MartScript is a simple non-branching imperative scripting language for creating BioMarts (see www.biomart.org) automatically (i.e. non-interactively). The language supports
- extending Ensembl databases with custom data
- automation of MartBuilder/MartEditor functionality
- the creation and execution of a BioMart's SQL-commands
This is a fully functional release of MartScript as a beta version, mainly due to the lack of documentation and some minor cosmetic issues. However, we used MartScript in production to create: www.pubmed2ensembl.org
MartScript depends on partially modified code of MartBuilder as well as as JAR files of several libraries that from the BioMart project, which are redistributed here. MartBuilder, MartEditor and the JAR-packaged files are released under LGPL.
MartScript is released under the LGPL (see LICENSE).
