Project info

Title: BIDS Specification Terms PDF Table Generator

Project lead: Nazek Queder @nqueder

Timezone: UTC-7

Hub: The Americas

Description:

The project aims to create a user-friendly python tool allowing the BIDS group to select, search, or add BIDS specification terms and export a PDF table of the chosen BIDS term along with appropriate term properties and instructions on adding new terms. If the user chooses to add a new term, the tool will create and export a new BIDS specification term as a JSON-LD file and push it to our terms repository where discussion surrounding the new term can be captured using git/github. Such an effort will provide the BIDS working group with a user-friendly tool to build tables for the BIDS documentation while ensuring they have not re-purposed an existing BIDS specification term giving it conflicting definitions. For additional information on the background for this project see BIDS specification issue 423.

Goals for the OHBM Brainhack

• Create a Python-based tool allowing users to specify subsets of BIDS specification terms and properties of those terms to include in a PDF-formatted table for inclusion into specifications.
• Create JSON-LD files for newly added BIDS specification terms.
• Creating a document with clear instructions for the user on how to use our tool.
• Create an automated way to push newly created JSON-LD files to the Interlex information resource.

Good first issues:

• Create a Scicrunch account and generate a new Interlex API key, for instructions on how to generate an Interlex API key please visit our github repository.
• Review the BIDS specification documents and our NIDM-Terms repository and get familiar with our current group of BIDS terms.

Skills:

• Python
• Data query
• Git - any level
• BIDS - Brain Imaging Data Structure
• Knowledge about JSON and JSON-LD is recommended but not required
• Someone who knows how to develop good, tidy and clear documentation for developing clear and well structured user’s instructions
• Someone with good research and document analysis skills

hi @ohbm/project-monitors My project is ready!

[Remi-Gau]

hey @nqueder 👋

This looks good. ✨

I think that our @ohbm/hack2020-monitors will have another look at that soon.

Already added some labels. Check through our list of issue labels if some other ones could be added.

Do you have an image for the website we could use?

Maybe the BIDS logo?

[nqueder]

Thanks! @Remi-Gau

An image for the website is attached below.

Fantastic.

@DorienHuijser Can I let you handle this one? 😉

[jhlegarreta]

@nqueder do you have a video channel for your project? Would you add that information to the mattermost channel, please? Thanks.

[nqueder]

@jhlegarreta of course! The link to my video channel has been added to the mattermost channel description.

Dear @nqueder would you mind adding 2 good first issues to your project and letting us know please. Once you are done with that, I will complete the project revision and your project will be ready to go! Thank you 🤗

[nqueder]

Hi @complexbrains !
My issue has been updated with two "good first issues" :)

[complexbrains]

Dear @nqueder Thank you so much for doing it so! Your project seems ready to go then! Welcome aboard! 🤗 🎊
