Knots↔ Braids
I Seifertview uses braids
I Knots and braids are essentially the same things!I Braidgroups, Artin groups, Hecke algebras, etc.
So we want to convert between knots and braids!

Vogel Algorithm
Vogel, 1990A knot can be brought into suitable form by doing a series of Vogelmoves (Reidemeister II moves). The braid word can then easily beread off.
We have implemented this algorithm in GAP.
