This repository contains the sources for the data schema of the GUTS study.
The schema is developed using LinkML and a documented version can be viewed at: https://guts-consortium.github.io/schema/
A data schema allows exact modeling of objects, properties, and relationships of data samples in a research study. By defining what exactly is meant, for example, by a participant (which properties does it have, e.g. measures_collected, which relationships does it have, e.g. parent_cohort) and even better, defining these using standard linked-data vocabularies (see Linked Data), we develop a standard description of our data that allows:
- a common understanding to discuss and iterate on
- data validation
- automated data entry
- linking our data into larger and distributed datasets for improved querying
- The root schema file in YAML format
- The schema in jsonschema format: https://guts-consortium.github.io/schema/schema.json
- LinkML docs
