Classes

Class	Description
Citation	A container for a citation or another form of attribution for the parent resource.
Extractor	A script, code, or web service that, when executed, can extract information from a supplied “file” with a specific FileType.
FileType	A specific encoding of data for storage purposes. A FileType is defined by a set of common characteristics and expectations, that can be assumed for all files of a given file type.
Installation	A machine-actionable specification of a set of installation instructions for the parent Extractor.
License	A container for the licensing information related to the parent resource.
SupportedFileType	An specification of a FileType, supported by the parent Extractor.
Usage	A machine-actionable specification of a set of usage instructions of the parent Extractor.
UsageTemplate	A container for specifying string substitution templates for usage specification, see Usage class.

Slots

Slot	Description
associated_file_extensions	A list of any known file extensions that files of this FileType are found with. These may be used as a hint for FileType detection. Should omit the leading '.', e.g. ‘json’ or ‘txt’.
associated_instruments	A list of any instruments, or classes of instruments, that typically create the data encoded into this FileType.
associated_software	A list of any known software (proprietary or otherwise) that produces such FileType.
associated_standards	A list of any particular well-defined file format standards relevant to this FileType, e.g., CIF, NeXus, then it can be listed here.
associated_vendors	A list of software or instrument vendors that can be associated with this particular FileType.
base_formats	A list of any particular underlying generic formats which this FileType is based on, e.g., CSV, JSON, HDF5, XML.
citations	A citation or citations for the entry, to be provided should it be used in academic work (or otherwise).
command	A machine-executable command by which the Extractor functionality can be accessed.
contributors	A list of the contributors to the resource.
creators	A list of the creators of the resource.
description	A human-readable outline of the entry, its format, data content and uses.
documentation	A URL or URI for any online documentation associated with this extractor.
id	A unique identifier for the entry within the Datatractor Yard namespace, this should be a shorthand label rather than a UUID. Only lower-case alphanumeric and dash (“-”) characters are permitted.
input_path	The location of the resource (e.g., file, or directory) on disk to be extracted. Required.
input_type	The FileType of the input_path. Defaults to the FileType->id for each supported file type.
installation	A machine-actionable set of installation instructions to obtain a working set-up of the Extractor.
instructions	Any human-readable usage notes or installation instructions for this Extractor. This field is intended for human use only and is not intended to be machine-actionable. Please use the Extractor->installation and Extractor->usage slots for that purpose.
license	A URL, URI or SPDX license identifier for a legal document giving official permission to do something with the resource.
method	Usage invocation method, e.g. from a command line or from Python.
name	A recognisable name for the entry.
output_path	The location where the output of the extraction will be written to disk. Defaults to the Extractor default.
output_type	The FileType of the output_path, for Extractors supporting multiple output FileTypes. Defaults to the FileType->id for each supported output file type.
packages	A list of packages, including versioned packages or git+https:// targets, to be installed using the Installer.
registered_extractors	A slot for an automatically-generated enumeration of Extractor IDs that support this file type. This slot should be auto-populated by a registry.
requirements	Contents of a ‘requirements.txt’-like file. Will be installed by the selected Installer using an appropriate method, e.g., pip install -r requirements.txt for pip, or conda env create -f requirements.txt for conda.
requires_python	A PEP 440 version string for the version constraints on the Python version required for this extractor.
scope	Specification of extraction scope.
setup	Any necessary setup step for the ‘command’ to become available.
source_repository	A URL or URI for a source code repository associated with this extractor.
spdx	An SPDX License Identifier entry.
subject	Any keywords, phrases or classification codes that are relevant to the entry, e.g., particular scientific domains of applicability, or experimental techniques.
supported_filetypes	An enumeration of the FileType that an Extractor supports, matching FileTypes present in the registry. The FileType->id slot can be passed to the Extractor, see the Usage class.
supported_output_filetypes	An enumeration of the possible output formats of an Extractor. These should match FileTypes present in the registry. They can be specified on extractor execution using the templates described in the Extractor->Usage->command slot, see the Usage class.
template	A mechanism for overriding the template values for this file type in the usage instructions.
title	A name given to the resource [from DC].
type	Any bibliographic resource type (e.g., article, dataset, software) enumerated in the DCMI Type Vocabulary.
uri	An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context.
usage	A machine-actionable instructions for the usage of the Extractor. The described usage pattern shall be available after the instructions specified in Extractor->installation slot have been followed.

Enumerations

Enumeration	Description
InstallerTypes	This enumeration allows the Extractor->installation to specify which installer software is to be used for the installation of the Extractor.
UsageScope	This enumeration specifies the scope of extraction performed by the Extractor.
UsageTypes	This enumeration specifies the execution environment for the Extractor.
