openMINDS Python library

openMINDS Python is a small library to support the creation and use of openMINDS metadata models and schemas in your Python application, with import and export in JSON-LD format.

Installation

pip install openMINDS

Usage

``` python from datetime import date from openminds import Collection, IRI import openminds.latest.core as omcore

Create an empty metadata collection

collection = Collection()

Create some metadata

mgm = omcore.Organization( fullname="Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Inc.", shortname="MGM", homepage=IRI("https://www.mgm.com") )

stan = omcore.Person( givenname="Stan", familyname="Laurel", affiliations=omcore.Affiliation(memberof=mgm, startdate=date(1942, 1, 1)) )

ollie = omcore.Person( givenname="Oliver", familyname="Hardy", affiliations=omcore.Affiliation(memberof=mgm, startdate=date(1942, 1, 1)) )

Add the metadata to the collection

collection.add(stan, ollie, mgm)

Check the metadata are valid

failures = collection.validate()

Save the collection in a single JSON-LD file

collection.save("my_collection.jsonld")

Save each node in the collection to a separate file

collection.save("mycollection", individualfiles=True) # creates files within the 'my_collection' directory

Load a collection from file

newcollection = Collection() newcollection.load("my_collection.jsonld") ```

Getting help

In case of questions about openMINDS, please contact us at support@openmetadatainitiative.org. If you find a bug in the Python library or would like to suggest an enhancement or new feature, please open a ticket in the openMINDS Python library issue tracker.

If you identify a problem or would like to suggest changes to the openMINDS specification itself, please open a ticket in the openMINDS issue tracker.

Development

Contributions are welcome, please see our contribution guidelines.

This repository has two main branches: pipeline and main. The pipeline contains the code for building the Python package from the openMINDS schemas. The build process is triggered by changes to the schemas, and runs as a GitHub action. The resultant package is copied to the main branch, and at intervals is published on PyPI.
