csv (Minimal) Data Dictionary

Convert a minimal data dictionary in a csv (or tsv file). For example, may have name, type, and description and then this adds the rest of the fields. Additionally:

  • Converts a few common data types (such as char, character,text to 'string' and 'float' to 'number'.)

  • Converts common property names onto the HEAL specification property names (e.g., Field name, variable name, or Names map onto name; Data type, data-types, FIELD TYPE, Variable types map onto type )

Run the vlmd command

vlmd extract --inputtype csv-data-dict data/minimal-csv-dd.csv
