Every Gen3 data commons employs a data model, which serves to describe, organize, and harmonize structured data. Data harmonization facilitates cross-project analyses and is thus one of the pillars of the data commons paradigm. The data model organizes experimental or clinical variables, “properties”, into linked categories, “nodes”, through the use of a data dictionary. The data dictionary lists and describes all nodes in the data model, as well as defines and describes the properties in each node. A Gen3 Data Dictionary is specified by a YAML file per node. A dictionary needs to be defined to allow submission of structured metadata and use of the [Exploration Page][Exploration Page] in the Data Portal. |
