HIF: The hypergraph interchange format for higher-order networks
AI总结：
HIF是一种标准化的更高阶网络数据存储格式，支持多种超图类型，并提供元数据属性支持，旨在促进不同分析软件之间的无缝数据交换。
摘要：
许多实证系统包含任意大小的复杂相互作用，例如化学反应、社会群体、合著者关系和生态依赖。这些相互作用被称为更高阶相互作用，这些相互作用的集合构成更高阶网络，或超图。超图已建立为表示此类系统的流行且多功能的数学表示方法，许多用不同编程语言编写软件包已设计用于分析这些网络。然而，由于每个软件的编程接口和兼容数据表示的专业化，更高阶网络分析软件的生态系统是碎片化的。为了使更高阶网络分析软件包之间能够无缝交换数据，我们引入了超图交换格式（HIF），一种标准化的存储更高阶网络数据的格式。HIF支持多种更高阶网络类型，包括无向超图、有向超图和抽象单纯复形，同时积极探索扩展以表示多乘超图、时间超图和有序超图。为了适应不同上下文中使用的广泛元数据，HIF还包含支持与节点、边和接触相关联的属性的功能。这一举措是涉及作者、维护者和贡献者的协作努力，来自著名的超图软件包。该项目引入了一个JSON模式，配以相应的文档和单元测试，示例HIF兼容数据集，以及演示如何使用HIF与几种流行的更高阶网络分析软件包的教程。
英文摘要：
Many empirical systems contain complex interactions of arbitrary size, representing, for example, chemical reactions, social groups, co-authorship relationships, and ecological dependencies. These interactions are known as higher-order interactions and the collection of these interactions comprise a higher-order network, or hypergraph. Hypergraphs have established themselves as a popular and versatile mathematical representation of such systems and a number of software packages written in various programming languages have been designed to analyze these networks. However, the ecosystem of higher-order network analysis software is fragmented due to specialization of each software's programming interface and compatible data representations. To enable seamless data exchange between higher-order network analysis software packages, we introduce the Hypergraph Interchange Format (HIF), a standardized format for storing higher-order network data. HIF supports multiple types of higher-order networks, including undirected hypergraphs, directed hypergraphs, and abstract simplicial complexes, while actively exploring extensions to represent multiplex hypergraphs, temporal hypergraphs, and ordered hypergraphs. To accommodate the wide variety of metadata used in different contexts, HIF also includes support for attributes associated with nodes, edges, and incidences. This initiative is a collaborative effort involving authors, maintainers, and contributors from prominent hypergraph software packages. This project introduces a JSON schema with corresponding documentation and unit tests, example HIF-compliant datasets, and tutorials demonstrating the use of HIF with several popular higher-order network analysis software packages.
