Characteristics of attributes file

[mlarjim]

Hi,
I want to add attributes such as location to my nodes but I don't know how to make the attributes file. Does it need to be a .csv or a .json file?

Dear @mlarjim,

May I direct you to this issue for examples of what the schema and attributes file look like?

The point of interest is the -a argument example for the hivannotate command (but is the same format as --attributes-file for hivtrace, which is

[
  {
    "cur_city_name": "Los Angeles",
    "cur_state_cd": "California",
    "hiv_aids_dx_dt": "2008-05-29T07:00:00.000Z",
    "vl_recent_value": "71341",
    "vital_status": "Missing",
    "ehars_uid": "GA00HHARS001056*",
    "rsd_state_cd": "California",
    "race": "Hispanic/Latino",
    "trans_categ": "Missing"
  },
  {
    "cur_city_name": "Los Angeles",
    "cur_state_cd": "California",
    "hiv_aids_dx_dt": "2008-08-08T07:00:00.000Z",
    "vl_recent_value": "0",
    "vital_status": "Missing",
    "ehars_uid": "GA00HHARS005262*",
    "rsd_state_cd": "California",
    "race": "White",
    "trans_categ": "Heterosexual Contact-Female"
  }
]

Best,
Steven

Thank you, dear Steven!

Hi,
I'm wondering whether we can use the csv format for the attributes. If yes, which format should it follow specifically?
We are trying to load the attributes in a csv file but it doesn't work. The format you specify above will require a lot of work...
is there way to convert the csv file to the format you specify above?
thank you
