Schematic

Summary

SCHEMATIC is an acronym for Schema Engine for Manifest Ingress and Curation. The Python based infrastructure provides a novel schema-based, metadata ingress ecosystem, that is meant to streamline the process of biomedical dataset annotation, metadata validation and submission to a data repository for various data contributors.

Manifest - metadata table submitted for datasets
Data Model -
Data Schema -

Start from single table

CSV with basic column set: Attribute, Description, ValidValues, DependsOn, required, source, parent, properties, dependsOnComponent, validationRules

Use schematic in dev mode to conver model to JSON-LD regularly to check for errors

Namespace collisions - should use "Biothings" schema

graph modeling requires unique names. some protected names too. no underscores.

Schematic dev mode helps find and deal with erors by iteratively checking JSON-LD

Generate JSON-LDF from CSV: schematic schema convert data_model.csv

`schematic model --config config.hyml submit --manifest_path manifest.csv --datset_id synId -- manifest_record_type table

JSON for Linking Data JSON-LD

JSON
https://cambridgesemantics.com/blog/semantic-university/learn-rdf/rdf-nuts-bolts-2/
One reason we use JSON-LD in schematic is its support by http://schema.org : https://schema.org/
And a reason for http://schema.org is dataset discoverability: https://datasetsearch.research.google.com/
JSON-LD useful for search engines (http://schema.org )
for anyone who wants to learn more about "linked data”, reading about ideas related to "semantic web" can be a fun rabbit hole to go down…w3 stds

Guide to Developing Data Models in JSON-LD

JSON-LD, or JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data, is a JSON-based format for serializing Linked Data. It extends JSON with additional functionality to represent linked data structures, such as contexts, @id, and @type. JSON-LD is a lightweight and flexible format that can be used to represent a variety of data models.

This guide provides an introduction to developing data models in JSON-LD. It covers the following topics:

  • JSON-LD syntax

  • JSON-LD contexts

  • Modeling entities and relationships

  • Using vocabularies

  • Best practices for developing JSON-LD data models

JSON-LD Syntax

JSON-LD documents are valid JSON documents. They consist of key-value pairs, where the keys are strings and the values can be strings, numbers, objects, arrays, or booleans. JSON-LD documents can also contain additional keywords that provide additional information about the data.

The following is an example of a simple JSON-LD document:

Code Block
JSON{
  "@context": "https://schema.org/",
  "@id": "http://example.com/book1",
  "type": "Book",
  "name": "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy",
  "author": "Douglas Adams"
}

This document describes a book with the following properties:

  • @context: The context URI specifies the vocabulary that is used to interpret the data. In this case, the vocabulary is http://Schema.org .

  • @id: The @id property uniquely identifies the resource. In this case, the resource is a book.

  • type: The type property specifies the type of the resource. In this case, the resource is a book.

  • name: The name property specifies the name of the book.

  • author: The author property specifies the author of the book.

JSON-LD Contexts

JSON-LD contexts are used to map IRIs (Internationalized Resource Identifiers) to human-readable names. Contexts can also be used to define prefixes for IRIs. This can make JSON-LD documents easier to read and write.

The @context property in a JSON-LD document specifies a context URI. When a JSON-LD processor encounters an IRI in a document, it uses the context to resolve the IRI to a human-readable name.

For example, the following context defines a prefix for the http://Schema.org vocabulary:

Code Block
JSON{
  "@context": {
    "schema": "https://schema.org/"
  }
}

Using this context, the following JSON-LD document can be interpreted:

Code Block
JSON{
  "@context": {
    "schema": "https://schema.org/"
  },
  "@id": "http://example.com/book1",
  "type": "schema:Book",
  "name": "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy",
  "author": "Douglas Adams"
}

The type property is now prefixed with schema:. This makes the document easier to read and understand.

Modeling Entities and Relationships

Entities in a JSON-LD data model are represented by objects. Relationships between entities are represented by properties. For example, the following JSON-LD document describes a book and a person:

Code Block
JSON{
  "@context": {
    "schema": "https://schema.org/"
  },
  "@id": "http://example.com/book1",
  "type": "schema:Book",
  "name": "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy",
  "author": {
    "@id": "http://example.com/douglas-adams",
    "type": "schema:Person",
    "name": "Douglas Adams"
  }
}

The author property in the book object refers to the person object. This indicates that Douglas Adams is the author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Using Vocabularies

Vocabularies are collections of terms and definitions that are used to describe data. JSON-LD data models can use vocabularies to provide a common understanding of the data.

There are many different vocabularies available. Some popular vocabularies include:

  • http://Schema.org

  • Dublin Core

  • Friend of a Friend (FOAF)

  • GoodRelations

  • GeoNames

  • MusicBrainz

When developing a JSON-LD data model, it is important to choose the appropriate vocabulary. The vocabulary should be relevant to the type of data that you are modeling.
