Mental Model

Mapping rules

Each Vertex type (by label) is converted to an Excel sheet
Each Edge type (by label) is converted to an Excel sheet
Each vertex is converted to a row
Each vertex property is converted to a cell
Each edge is converted to a row
Each edge property is converted to a cell
The header row for Vertices has a column for each property key
The header for for Edges has a column for each property key + an in and and out column
The in and out header columns for edges have the label of the corresponding vertex in parentheses

    // es.setDebug(true);
    Workbook wb = es.createWorkBook(g);
    assertEquals(6, wb.getNumberOfSheets());
