Sprout is a Python package for building up, describing, and managing research data. It structures your data as standardised Data Packages that follow the FAIR principles, giving you flexibility and control over each step of the data management workflow.
Key features ✨
- Creates and manages standardised Data Packages with metadata stored in
datapackage.json.
- Checks both your metadata and your data against the Data Package standard, with clear messages pointing directly to where issues occur.
- Stores data in Apache Parquet format—an open, efficient, and widely supported format.
- Tracks data changes through a batch system with automatic versioning, supporting data lineage and auditability.
- Auto-extracts field properties from your data, so you spend less time writing metadata manually.
