This prototype shows how Nanobot can be used to curate datasets for EHLC.

WARNING: Nanobot is "alpha" stage software, still under active development and likely to change.

1. clone this repository
2. download a nanobot binary for your platform
3. run nanobot and browse http://localhost:3000

For example:

git clone https://github.com/jamesaoverton/ehlc-curation-prototype.git
cd ehlc-curation-prototype
curl -L -o nanobot https://github.com/ontodev/nanobot.rs/releases/download/v2024-07-29/nanobot-v20240729-x86_64-linux
chmod +x nanobot
./nanobot serve --connection :memory:

This will create a temporary, in-memory SQLite database, then load and validate all TSV files, and start the web application at http://localhost:3000. Inside the web application, "Actions > Save" will save changes to the TSV files. Press Ctrl-C to stop the web server.

You can create a persistent SQLite database file using ./nanobot init first. For example:

rm -f .nanobot.db && ./nanobot init && ./nanobot serve

This will also create a nanobot.toml configuration file that you can modify.

• src/schema/ configuration and controlled terminology
  • table.tsv, column.tsv, datatype.tsv: table configuration
