EM Annotation Schemas

The EMAnnotationSchemas client lets one look up the available schemas and how they are defined. This is mostly used for programmatic interactions between services, but can be useful when looking up schema definitions for new tables.

Get the list of schema

One can get the list of all available schema with the schema method. Currently, new schema have to be generated on the server side, although we aim to have a generic set available to use.

client.schema.get_schemas()

View a specific schema

The details of each schema can be viewed with the schema_definition method, formatted as per JSONSchema.

example_schema = client.schema.schema_definition('microns_func_coreg')
example_schema

This is mostly useful for programmatic interaction between services at the moment, but can also be used to inspect the expected form of an annotation by digging into the format.
