Definition

The File node provides a link to scholarly work and allows users to specify in what way the work relates to that data. More specifically, users can specify that the data was directly extracted from, inspired by, derived from, etc.

The file node is held in the Data node.

data_dictionary: str property writable

The data dictionary contains additional information that the scientist needs to describe their file.

Notes

It is advised for this field to be written in JSON format

Examples:

>>> import cript
>>> my_file = cript.File(
...     name="my file name",
...     source="https://criptapp.org",
...     type="calibration",

>>> my_file.data_dictionary = "{'notes': 'This is something that describes my file node.'}"

Returns:

Name Type Description
data_dictionary str

the file data dictionary attribute

extension: str property writable

The file extension property explicitly states what is the file extension of the file node.

Examples:

>>> import cript
>>> my_file = cript.File(
...     name="my file name",
...     source="https://criptapp.org",
...     type="calibration",
...     extension=".text",

>>> my_file.extension = ".csv"

file extensions must start with a dot

File extensions must start with a dot, for example .csv or .pdf

Returns:

Name Type Description
extension str

file extension

source: str property writable

The File node source can be set to be either a path to a local file on disk or a URL path to a file on the web.

Examples:

URL File Source

>>> import cript
>>> my_file = cript.File(
...     name="my file name",

Returns:

Name Type Description
source str

A string representing the file source.

type: str property writable

The File type must come from CRIPT controlled vocabulary

Examples:

>>> import cript
>>> my_file = cript.File(
