Comment (by kcrisman):

 atlas, and use it to run automated tests, computing the invariants for the
 knots and links there.

 some strange representations are used.

 it in the following weeks.

 That's a really excellent idea.  It's always good to have two ways to
 check information anyway.  Ideally one could have a prototype of that
 available in time to help test this ticket as well.
