Metadata

All objects

All metadata objects support the following fields:

Field	Supported values	Description
created*	Date	Date of creation
updated*	Date	Date of last update

Projects

The following metadata fields are recognized by different interfaces for Projects:

name*	Name	Name‡

* Mandatory

Project System Metadata

Metadata entries automatically set by MiGA:

Field	Supported values	Description
datasets*	Array of String	List of datasets in the project
type*	String	Type

* Mandatory

‡ By default the base name of the project path

Project Flags

Metadata entries that trigger specific behaviors in MiGA:

° By default: blast+. Other supported values: blast, blat, diamond (except for ANI), and fastani (only for ANI), no (only for hAAI). If using diamond and/or fastani, the corresponding software must be installed. Important: These defaults will change in v1.0 to: blast+ for hAAI, diamond for AAI, and fastani for ANI.

+ One of: dupont_2012 (default), or lee_2019

Project Hooks

Additionally, hooks can be defined for projects as arrays of arrays containing the action name and the arguments (if any). For example, one can define:

on_processing_ready: [
  ['run_cmd', 'date > {{project}}/ALL_DONE.txt'],
  ['run_cmd', 'sendmail ...']
]

or

on_add_dataset: [
  ['run_cmd', 'echo {{object}} > {{project}}/LATEST_DATASET.txt']
]

Supported events:

• on_create(): When created

• on_load(): When loaded

• on_save(): When saved

• on_add_dataset(object): When a dataset is added, with name object

• on_unlink_dataset(object): When dataset with name object is unlinked

• on_result_ready(object): When any result is ready, with key object

• on_result_ready_{result}(): When result is ready

• on_processing_ready(): When processing is complete

Supported hooks:

• run_lambda(lambda, args...)

• run_cmd(cmd)

Datasets

The following metadata fields are recognized by different interfaces for Datasets:

Dataset Features

Metadata with additional information and features about the dataset:

Field	Supported values	Description
tax	MiGA::Taxonomy	Taxonomy of the dataset
quality	String	Description of genome quality
dprotologue	String	Taxonumber in the Digital Protologue DB
ncbi_tax_id	String	Linking ID(s)‡ for NCBI Taxonomy
ncbi_nuccore	String	Linking ID(s)‡ for NCBI Nucleotide
ncbi_asm	String	Linking ID(s)‡ for NCBI Assembly
ebi_embl	String	Linking ID(s)‡ for EBI EMBL

see_also	String	Link(s)‡ in the format text:url
is_type	Boolean	If it is type material
is_ref_type	Boolean	If it is reference material°
type_rel	String	Relationship to type material
suspect	Array(String)	Flags indicating a suspect dataset

‡ Multiple values can be provided separated by commas or colons

° This is not a valid type, but it represents the closest available dataset to material that is unavailable and unlikely to ever become available. See also Federhen, 2015, NAR

Dataset System Metadata

Metadata entries automatically set by MiGA:

Field	Supported values	Description
type*	String	Type
ref	Boolean	Reference
inactive	Boolean	If auto-processing should stop
metadata_only	Boolean	Dataset with metadata but without input data
status	String	Proc. status: complete, incomplete, inactive

Dataset Flags

Metadata entries that trigger specific behaviors in MiGA:

Field	Supported values	Description
run_step	Boolean	Forces running or not step
db_project	Path	Project to use as database
dist_req	Array of String	Run distances against these datasets*

* When searching best-matching datasets, include these datasets even if they are not visited using the medoid tree
