Peter;
I've started reading about Data Libraries on the wiki: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/DataLibraries/Libraries https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/DataLibraries/UploadingFile... https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/DataLibraries/Tutorial/Data...
Are there any nice examples of tools/scripts which populate Galaxy Data Libraries automatically which you think it would be helpful to read?
You can use the API for this. Here's a script that build data libraries for next gen sequencing runs: https://github.com/chapmanb/bcbb/blob/master/nextgen/scripts/upload_to_galax... It selects files of interest, organizes them into a local directory structure, and then uploads them to Galaxy. Folders are created via the API, and this all uses a thin wrapper: https://github.com/chapmanb/bcbb/blob/master/nextgen/bcbio/galaxy/api.py Brad
