cidgoh / DataHarmonizer

A standardized browser-based spreadsheet editor and validator that can be run offline and locally, and which includes templates for SARS-CoV-2 and Monkeypox sampling data. This project, created by the Centre for Infectious Disease Genomics and One Health (CIDGOH), at Simon Fraser University, is now an open-source collaboration with contributions from the National Microbiome Data Collaborative (NMDC), the LinkML development team, and others.

Split project into library and interface components #312

Generally speaking this will involve:

Great, you are on! For the wider audience, we were discussing how to be able to have DataHarmonizer take advantage of ES6 modules, but at the same time have a local file browser (no server) product as part of a build process - something ES6 modules can't do as they require a web server context. As well, a dev environment that allows more flexibility in calling up user interface components, and in real-time code testing.
