This is a patch release to the V4 metadata spec. Changes in V4.6.1 include:

  • removal of controlled vocabulary for file.file_format so that analysis output files don't have to conform to a specified list
  • removal of regex for file.filename so that analysis output files don't have to conform to as specific list

This update does not affect backwards compatibility.

The V4 metadata schema is found here:

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.
