Overview

Warning

The Tripal file module is compatible only with Tripal v3.6 or higher.

The Tripal File module supports association of data files with content in a Chado database and for integration of those associations with content types on a Tripal website.

These associations are meant to support FAIR data principles by integrating with Tripal content web services such that:

  • Files are findable and accessible via Tripal’s content web services.

  • Metadata about files use globally unique controlled vocabularies. These metadata can be assigned as properties of each file.

  • License and usage details can be assigned to each file.

This module provides two new content types for Tripal sites: File and License.

Development of the Tripal File module was funded by the National Science Foundation award #1659300 and the National Research Support Program (NRSP) 10 project and the McIntire-Stennis project 1019284.
