feature: combining the md-model developments with LinkML

[markdoerr]

Dear MD-model developers,

since LinkML has a huge community going into a very similar direction (the syntax difference between your markdown model and the LinkML YAML representation is minimal) but you have a very nice graph visualisation,
one could consider an export of MD-models to LinkML YAML and a graph visualisation of the model with your tools, to the resulting export. This would benefit the two communities: your simpler modelling syntax for non-developers and the rich ecosystem of LinkML with all its connections to the semantic world.

(And LinkML would finally get a nice visual representation ;)

What do you think ?

@markdoerr, that's a fantastic suggestion! I've already outlined an import and export process to and from LinkML. I believe both have a lot in common and can definitely benefit from each other.

The branch is currently located locally on my machine, but I am happy to push it once the last bugs are fleshed out. Happy to work on this feature together as I am not 100% familiar with LinkML.

We also provide a Python library that features interfaces to SQLModel, Neo4J, and OpenAI. These implementations may also be beneficial for the LinkML community, if not supported yet.

Very cool @JR-1991 :)
looking forward to see the joint developments growing.
(SQL database model exports also exist in LinkML, but I am not aware of Neo4J and OpenAI interfaces - which would be very interesting features).

Awesome! I'll notify you once the branch is public :-)

Thanks a lot @JR-1991 ,
unfortunately I will be very busy in the next two months,
but I would love to help with the graph representation - I also looked into ComfyUI, which could be another source of inspiration .... (they make also very nice graphs)
