Sequence annotation

[fxbuson]

How would I go about generating objects with sequence annotation? Also, making this annotation reference another object (in the same file or externally).

I couldn't find an example in the paper or the example sheets. I'm guessing I can do that sort of automatedly with the sbol python libraries but just wonder if there is a way already within excel2sbol.

Could you provide a bit more details about what you are trying to do? My guess is that you can do it either using one of our templates, or possibly creating a new template. @JMante1 @wdrav please also have a look at this request.

How I understand the program currently makes composite parts is by taking basic parts with defined sequences and concatenating those with SequenceConstraint objects.

What I would like to make is an object with multiple SequenceAnnotation objects pointing to other components I defined on the excel file.

To let you know specifically what I'm working on:
I have defined a library of basic/composite components, but now I'd like to create objects for plasmids that hold those components (plus some other features). Not everything in the backbone plasmid is defined, so I can't just make objects for everything and concatenate them.

You can likely achieve this by creating a new Excel template. In many cases, you can simply change the configuration in the template itself. For some more complex things, you may need to add a special function to Excel2SBOL. You can find more details about configuring Excel2SBOL in @JMante1 thesis:
