The openMINDS_SANDS repository is part of the open Metadata Initiative for Neuroscience Data Structures (openMINDS). It contains the schema-templates used for Spatial Anchoring of Neuroscience Data (SANDS) metadata model.
The major versions are developed and maintained in different version-branches. The default branch is always the latest version-branch. Each version can be accessed by checking out the corresponding version-branch. This README describes the version-branch v3.
NOTE: this is an unreleased development branch and not yet fully functional

The SANDS schemas are defined as JSON-schema inspired templates with only a few customized technical properties (prefixed with "_"). These simplified schema-templates are easy to read and can be robustly translated to other, well known target formats (e.g., HTML, JSON-schema, etc.).
In tests you can find JSON-LDs designed to test the validation behaviour of each schema. They follow the naming convention {schema_name}-{custom_test_name}.jsonld. For test cases supposed to fail the validation, the suffix -nok should be attached ({schema_name}-{custom_test_name}-nok.jsonld). The tests are validated every time a change is introduced and therefore are ensuring the correct behavior of the schemas.
In examples you will find several possible serializations of the openMINDS_SANDS metadata model. The scope of each example is described in it's README. The correspondingly generated JSON-LDs may be further structured (e.g., grouped according to the schema they are validated against).
