IMO, this is not a trivial undertaking. See for example:
<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4486400/">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4486400/</a>
Additionally, and for what it is worth, there is/was already an open source
software program written in Python that can/could save chemical structure files
to ODG format - it is/was called BKchem. It accepts SMILES and Inchlkey input
(not perfectly, bu then Inchl is ambiguous for some structures, e.g.
tautomers).
Unfortunately, develoement of BKchem does appear to have stalled somewhat, the
last release being in 2010.</pre>
