Converting/representing schema to JSON can be a pluggable interface
- Default can do what we've got here today - just flat key/value (with stomping)
- Plugin / override could define Leuven way of using schema / array information
- Would be called before validate to prepare the JSON
  - https://github.com/irods-contrib/irods_working_group_metadata_templates/blob/44498830cf156198cd5d225c28e594a3bc2c9ad3/metadata_templates.py#L129C1-L133C1
Next Steps
- Plugin/override mechanism for JSON representation
- Add schema attachment to data objects
- Validate data object will take into consideration any schemas attached to that data object (requires gather for data object)
Leuven
- Working to share schemas / public - across groups
- Storing schema in JSON format with validation AND UI information
  - Want to separate these two from one another
    - JSON-Schema for validation
    - Validation currently happening in client side only (ManGO)
    - So other clients can still do whatever they want
GRAU
- Looking for initial use case / install to learn more
Next Meeting
- August 2024
