Description

This issue is still being written

See discussion in https://github.com/JuliaArrays/AxisArrays.jl/issues/84 for background

Concepts

AxisArrays.jl is currently a mashup of distinct and mostly orthogonal indexing behaviour. These are, at the highest level:

  • associating a name with a dimension
  • associating an index mapping with a dimension
  • looking up an index in an index mapping
  • translating a getindex call using some transformation into a getindex call on an underlying structure, then constructing a wrapped result

Named Dimensions

Index Lookup

Indexed Dimensions

getindex Translation

Research direction

Start with the discussion in JuliaCollections/AxisArrays.jl issue 84, then review this issue's four planned concepts: named dimensions, index lookup, indexed dimensions, and getindex translation. The work is done when the replacement plan is fully written with clear scope for each concept.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
