Description

pyfairdatatools is a Python package that includes functions of fairhub.io for making data FAIR. This consists of a collection of helpful functions for extracting, transforming raw data, generating relevant metadata files and validating the data and metadata files against the FAIR guidelines adopted by the AI-READI project. Beside supporting fairhub.io, our aim is that the package can be used by anyone wanting to make their data FAIR according to the AI-READI FAIR guidelines.

Getting started

Prerequisites/Dependencies

You will need the following installed on your system:

• Python 3.8+
• Pip
• Poetry

Installing

Install it directly into an activated virtual environment:

pip install pyfairdatatools

or add it to your Poetry project:

poetry add pyfairdatatools

Usage

After installation, the package can be imported:

$ python
>>> import pyfairdatatools
>>> pyfairdatatools.__version__

Inputs and Outputs

The input of most functions will be a json format schema (see "Standards followed" sections) that contain data and metadata related information. The outputs of most functions will be standards metadata files, structured data, etc.

Standards followed

This software is being developed following the Software Development Best Practices of the AI-READI Project, which include following the FAIR-BioRS guidelines. Amongs other, we are following closely the PEP 8 Style Guide for Python Code.

The input structure of the function is currently being developed but anticipated to follow existing schemas such as schema.org and bioschemas.org.
