biotoolsLint is under design : coding has not started and this page may be missing information
biotoolsLint is a utility for verification and reporting of content of the ELIXIR Tools & Data Services Registry. It will, for purposes of content quality control and labelling, verify the content according to:
- tool description syntax defined by biotoolsSchema
- correct or recommended use of the EDAM ontology
- curation best practice from the bio.tools Curators Guide (in so far as these recommendations can be automatically verified)
- compliance to the Tool Information Standard
- miscellaneous other checks, e.g. broken link detection, tool name uniqueness etc.
The verifications are exhaustively tabulated below, including one table / element group defined in biotoolsSchema.
- Summary group
- Function group
- Labels group
- Links group
- Download group
- Documentation group
- Publications group
- Credits group
