This repo manages the DataJoints Specs.
The DataJoint Specs establish the standards, conventions, and best practices for designing and managing DataJoint pipelines. These specifications ensure consistency, scalability, and interoperability across different scientific workflows and computing environments.
By following the DataJoint Specs, users and developers can:
- Maintain structured, reproducible data pipelines.
- Ensure compatibility across different DataJoint implementations.
- Adopt best practices for schema design, data integrity, and computational workflows.
- Provide a foundation for future enhancements while preserving backward compatibility.
The licensing for the specs is under review. Please inquire before contributing or copying.
DataJoint Specs evolve independently from DataJoint implementations
- Each implementation release states the spec version it supports.
- Spec releases include a compatibility table listing compliant implementations.
- Deprecations and upcoming changes are announced in advance to allow for smooth adoption.
Each implementation aligns with a specific spec version, ensuring compliance while allowing for gradual adoption of new features.
Each implementation release may claim which Specs verrsion it supports. For example:
# DataJoint Python v1.2.0 - Supports Spec v2.2
- Backward-compatible with Spec v2.1.
- Version 2.0 – Draft (Estimated Acceptance: 2025-04-01)
- DSEP Process
- DSEP Template DSEP-xxx
