Batch conversion

[JS3xton]

A convenient way to do batch conversions of many files through the web interface would be nice.

Agreed. Perhaps allow for ZIP file upload and download.

BTW: did you know this is accessible via an API, so you could right a fairly simple problem to do this? Also, you can write a simple script using libSBOLj JAR file directly.

ZIP file upload would probably do the trick. Even more convenient might be the ability to select multiple files via the "Choose File" button (when I tried with Shift and Ctrl, it would only let me select a single file).

ZIP file download makes sense to me as well. You'll have to think about how you want to fail of course (omit files for which conversion fails? Abort the entire conversion? etc.).

I was not aware of the Validation/Conversion API. It might be worth linking to that API from the Validator and Converter front pages. I am vaguely aware of the SBOL Data libraries. While those interfaces are great for programmers, I think you stand to capture other users who are otherwise unwilling to drop down into a programming language (on this occasion, I count myself among them) by exposing this functionality through the web interface.

Fair enough. @zachzundel how difficult would this be?
