STAM Tools

A collection of command-line tools for working with STAM.

Various tools are grouped under the stam tool, and invoked with a subcommand:

• stam annotate - Add an annotation from a JSON file
• stam info - Return information regarding a STAM model.
• stam init - Initialize a new STAM annotationstore
• stam to-text - Print the text of any resources in the model.
• stam to-tsv - Convert STAM to a simple TSV (Tab Separated Values) format. This is not lossless but provides a decent view on the data.
• stam validate - Validate a STAM model.

For many of these, you can set --verbose for extra details in the output.

Installation

From source

$ cargo install stam-tools

Usage

Add the --help flag for usage instructions.

Most tools take as input a STAM JSON file containing an annotation store. Any files mentioned via the @include mechanism are loaded automatically.

Instead of passing STAM JSON files, you can read from stdin and/or output to stdout by setting the filename to -, this works in many places.
