Marco Speranza commented on SANDBOX-339:
----------------------------------------

Simo,  I'm not totaly agree with you, common-graph implements the export logic, 
the user has only the flexibility to customize the attribute of the vertices, 
with a  key-value map for each vertices. 
Furthermore the user has to know these values even if we create an adapter. He 
has to learn the possible keys-attribute  and their acceptable values in any 
cases.

Anyway thinking more we can try to do this:

* create a simple CSV file that contains all possible values, with type and 
minimum acceptable value for each keys. (we can export this directly by [this 
site|http://www.graphviz.org/content/attrs] )

* we can create an adaper that checks the values any time that the user adds a 
new value for a vertex.

* so we have to upgrade only the this CSV file in order to upgrade the 
acceptable values

WDYT?

have a nice day Simo 
;)
