CSVs and Tabular Data
LinkML can support both complex interlinked normalized relational data as well as flat/denormalized data as typically found in spreadsheets and in CSVs used by data scientists.
Our philosophy is “always have a schema” even when working with simple tabular data
Conversion
the linkml-convert
script can be used to convert between CSVs/TSVs and other formats like JSON/RDF. The same tooling for validating-data operate in the same way.
