INCLUDE LinkML Data Model

Overview

This repository hosts the INCLUDE LinkML Model, a specialized data model crafted to empower collaboration and streamline data integration within Down syndrome research. By harnessing advanced LinkML features, it provides a versatile framework for harmonizing data representation, articulating metadata, and delineating intricate relationships between entities. This structured approach not only promotes seamless data exchange but also facilitates interoperability and scalability across diverse research initiatives.

Getting Started

To work with the INCLUDE Model, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository: Clone this repository to your local machine.

2. Install Poetry: If not already installed, install Poetry as a system dependency. Refer to Poetry Documentation for installation instructions.
