Output files - ProofDrivenQuerying/pdq GitHub Wiki

This guide explains the format of the output files of PDQ.

Reasoner output files

The reasoner can be used to perform the case or to find the certain answers to a query. In either case it outputs a data file in the same CSV format used for data inputs. Nulls are encoded as strings, prefixed with a string k_.

Planner output files

The planner outputs a plan, the one that has the lowest estimated cost according to the cost function used, among the plans that are searched; depending on the parameters, the search may be incomplete. The plan is annotated with its estimated cost. The file is structured exactly as plan.xml input files are structured

Runtime output files

Using the -o/--output parameter the user can specify the path to the output file (or folder).

The output of the Runtime execution is saved as CSV file, following the standard conventions.
