The V4 metadata schema was developed by the HCA metadata team at EMBL-EBI. It consists primarily of structural changes to the V3 schema to make the HCA metadata schema fully compatible with JSON schema and facilitate automatic schema validation. The release contains some sample data for testing and the metadata team are currently updating previous example data from the Q3 demo to conform to the V4 metadata schema.

A template spreadsheet to capture V4 metadata can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OboVETG6lQpdRm2-m5uRbk1gk80o_Yo2FqSzXDb_VxY
