Frictionless Table Schema

While vlmd specifications are designed (and still being developed), to support interoperability with the heal platform, minor naming translations may be needed. This function supports any of said translations (eg., frictionless fields name --> heal data_dictionary)

Note, this conversion supports either yaml or json format (currently only tests for json format but should work with yaml).

Creating a frictionless table schema

Below are the official frictionless table schema specifications, which you will notice a high degree of overlap with the heal variable level metadata specifications.

See here for the frictionless table schema specs

Run the vlmd command

vlmd extract --inputtype frictionless data/frictionless_dataset1.frictionless.schema.json
