title: 'lstar: Uniform Data Model and ''Zarr'' Interchange for Single-Cell Omics'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: A lightweight interchange layer for single-cell and spatial omics data,
  built on the L-star model of labelled axes and typed fields over them, serialized
  to the 'Zarr' format. Provides bidirectional converters ("profiles") for 'Seurat',
  'SingleCellExperiment', 'Conos', and 'pagoda2' objects, including collections of
  heterogeneous samples, via a shared C++ core ('libstar') so the same store is readable
  from R, 'Python', and C++.
