[Feature request] Make parsed SDRF data usable
Once SDRF information is parsed and validated it should be possible to use it in a convenient way.
Possible use cases are:
- exposing it via an API for consumption in scripts or
- writing it to a file.
Benefits
Python based proteomics data analysis tools don't need to reinvent the wheel, i.e. the SDRF parsing/validation.
A somewhat permissive parser could be used to enforce a strict adherence of the written SDRF file to the SDRF standard. This would have obvious benefits for anyone creating SDRF files as it would allow them to create byte-perfect SDRF files.
