SchemaBlocks{S}[B] Mission Statement

SchemaBlocks aims to translate the work of the workstreams into data models that:

• Are usable by other internal GA4GH deliverables, such as the Search API.
• Are usable by Driver Projects as an exchange format.
• Aid in aligning the work streams across GA4GH.
• Do not create a hindrance in development work by other work streams.

SchemaBlocks “Status” Levels

SchemaBlocks schemas (“blocks”) provide recommended blueprints for schema parts to be re-used for the development of code based “products” throughout the GA4GH ecosystem. We propose a labeling system for those schemas, to provide transparency about the level of support those schemas have from {S}[B] participants and observers.

SchemaBlocks Repositories

The SchemaBlocks Github organisation contains several specifically scoped repositories. Please use the relevant Github Issues to and/or GH pull requests comment and contribute there.
