Polypheny Notebooks serve as an interactive environment tailored for data analysis, visualization, and comprehension. The project is dedicated to enhancing the functionality of Polypheny Notebooks by incorporating an advanced presentation mode. This innovative feature will transform notebooks into dynamic presentations structured around slides, providing users with a seamless transition between in-depth data exploration and a structured, narrative format. This integration is designed to facilitate the communication of complex data stories in a compelling and accessible manner, bridging the gap between data exploration and effective communication. By introducing this mode, users will have the ability to create presentations with multiple slides, streamlining the process of sharing knowledge and discoveries with a broader audience. This advancement aims to elevate the utility of Polypheny Notebooks, empowering users to effectively convey insights and findings with clarity and professionalism.

The proposed project aims to enhance the accessibility and versatility of Polypheny, an adaptive database system, by developing a driver for .NET. Currently, Polypheny supports querying through JDBC and Python connectors. This project intends to create a robust driver tailored specifically for .NET environments based on the Polypheny API contract and Protobuf communication method. The project will encompass the development of a driver for .NET that enables querying the Polypheny database with comprehensive unit tests and detailed documentation to facilitate adoption and usage. By enabling integration with .NET, developers will have the capability to leverage Polypheny's innovative features, thus expanding the user base and potential applications of Polypheny within the .NET ecosystem.

Testing is a crucial part of the software development process, as it helps to ensure the quality and functionality of the software. The integration test coverage for SQL is already quite high; however, for Cypher, it is not yet, so this project aims at improving the test coverage for the Cypher query language in Polypheny and covers as much as possible of the features described in the Polypheny documentation.

This project will allow Polypheny to interact with Excel sheets by adding a data source adapter. The Excel adapter enables Polypheny to query the mapped data using available query languages of Polypheny-DB and the imported tables can be joined with other tables.

Currently the documentation for the Syntax of the various SQL’s that Polypheny supports has text based format which proves rather hard to read. The goal of the suggested project by Polypheny was to create a mini system which can convert the BNF like syntax in the markdown into a more visual representation in the form of railroad diagrams. With this I would like to extend the project into a large Project to apply the implementation of this Framework to the existing Jekyll Process of rendering so that it shows up as required on the website. I would also like to pursue possible extensions to improve the syntax completion and highlighting in the query console in the Polypheny-UI.
