ReproSchema: Enhancing Research Reproducibility through Standardized Survey Data Collection

The ReproSchema project integrates five key components designed to standardize research protocols and enhance consistency across various stages of data collection.

  • Foundational Schema (reproschema): This core schema delineates the content and relationships of protocols, assessments, and items to ensure consistency and facilitate data harmonization across studies.
  • Assessment Library (reproschema-library): This library provides a comprehensive collection of standardized questionnaires, supporting the application of uniform assessments across time and different studies.
  • Python-based CLI Tool (reproschema-py): This command-line interface tool facilitates schema development and validation, aiding researchers in efficiently creating and refining data collection frameworks.
  • User Interface (reproschema-ui): This intuitive user interface simplifies the visualization and interaction with data, enhancing the manageability of the data collection process for researchers.
  • Protocol Template (reproschema-protocol-cookiecutter): This customizable template supports the design and implementation of research protocols tailored to specific study requirements.

This repository contains:

Developing ReproSchema

Updating the schema

As of release 1.0.0, a linked data modeling language, LinkML, is used to create a YAML file with the schema.

The context file was automatically generated using LinkML, and then manually curated in order to support all the reproschema feature.

Style

This repo uses pre-commit to check styling.

  • Install pre-commit with pip: pip install pre-commit
  • In order to use it with the repository, you have to run run pre-commit install in the root directory the first time you use it.

Release

Upon release, there are additional formats, jsonsld, turtle, n-triples and pydantic that are created using LinkML tools, reproschema-py, and reproschema-specific script to "fix" the pydantic format. The entire process is automated in the GitHub Action Workflow: Validate and Release. This workflow must be manually triggered by the core developers once a new release is ready. All the releases can be found in releases directory.

Updating model in reproschema-py

Another GitHub Action Workflow: Create Pull Request to reproschema-py is responsible for creating pull request to the reproschema-py Python library with the new version of pydantic model and context. The workflow is currently also triggered manually by the core developers.
