Prospective repository of BIDS schema versions (including historical versions), as would be required by validators supporting multiple versions.
At the moment this is just a pilot resource, as schema syntax and validator capabilities
are rapidly evolving. Eventually, this repository should become the authoritative BIDS
schema resource, including all released versions. It could be used as a git submodule
in the repositories of tools which need to use it, incorporated into their tree
(fully or partially) via the git subtree mechanism, or distributed separately by
package managers.
-
The live BIDS schema, as used for all development work, will continue to reside within the
bids-specificationrepository in order to streamline the addition and testing of changes. -
On a regular basis (via
cronor push notifications from thebids-specificationmaster branch) this repository should use e.g.git subtreeto extract the current schema version and add it to its index. -
Proposed layout (implemented now, but without any copy/release yet):
LICENSEREADME.mdversions/x.y.z/- subdirectories matching schema versions in the BIDS specificationlatest/- a copy (symlinks aren't supported on some operating systems) of the most recent releasemaster/- the state of schema in the BIDS specification master branch repository
PRs/- schemas from Pull Requests with schema changesBEPs/- schemas for BIDS Extension Proposalstools/
Schema versions automatically updated using
CI run.
- Latest Release - Current stable BIDS schema
- All Releases - Historical BIDS schema versions
- Master Branch - Current development schema
- PR Schemas - Schemas from open Pull Requests with schema changes
- BEP Schemas - Schemas for BIDS Extension Proposals
See PRs/README.md and BEPs/README.md for detailed status tables.
See http://github.com/dandi/dandi-core and its README.md for an example of similar (not yet fully automated) subtree use.
