Abstract | The Center for Expanded Data Annotation and Retrieval (CEDAR) aims to revolutionize the way that metadata describing scientific experiments are authored. The software we have developed¾the CEDAR Workbench¾is a suite of Web-based tools and REST APIs that allows users to construct metadata tem-plates, to fill in templates to generate high-quality metadata, and to share and manage these resources. The CEDAR Workbench provides a versatile, REST-based environment for authoring metadata that are enriched with terms from on-tologies. The metadata are available as JSON, JSON-LD, or RDF for easy inte-gration in scientific applications and reusability on the Web. Users can leverage our APIs for validating and submitting metadata to external repositories. The CEDAR Workbench is freely available and open-source. |
