Schema resources for the National Microbiome Data Collaborative (NMDC)
Project description
National Microbiome Data Collaborative Schema
The NMDC is a multi-organizational effort to integrate microbiome data across diverse areas in medicine, agriculture, bioenergy, and the environment. This integrated platform facilitates comprehensive discovery of and access to multidisciplinary microbiome data in order to unlock new possibilities with microbiome data science.
This repository mainly defines a LinkML schema for managing metadata from the National Microbiome Data Collaborative (NMDC).
Repository Contents Overview
Some products that are maintained, and tasks orchestrated within this repository are:
- Maintenance of LinkML YAML that specifies the NMDC Schema
- src/schema/nmdc.yaml
- and various other YAML schemas imported by it, like prov.yaml, annotation.yaml, etc. all which you can find in the src/schema folder
- Makefile targets for converting the schema from it's native LinkML YAML format to other artifact like JSON Schema
- Build, deployment and distribution of the schema as a PyPI package
- Automatic publishing of refreshed documentation upon change to the schema, accessible here
Background
The NMDC Introduction to metadata and ontologies primer provides some the context for this project.
Maintaining the Schema
New system requirement: Mike Farah's GO-based yq
Some optional components use the Java-based ROBOT, which might be replaced with Jena arq in the future. Jena riot is also a part of the MongoDB dumping, repairing and validation workflow, if the user wishes to generate and validate RDF/TTL.
See MAINTAINERS.md for instructions on maintaining and updating the schema.
Data downloads
The NMDC's metadata about biosamples, studies, bioinformatics workflows, etc. can be obtained from our nmdc-runtime API.
Try entering "biosample_set" or "study_set" into the collection_name box
at https://api.microbiomedata.org/docs#/metadata/list_from_collection_nmdcschema__collection_name__get
Or use the API programmatically! Note that some collections are large, so the responses are paged.
You can learn about the other available collections at https://microbiomedata.github.io/nmdc-schema/Database/
