read_biosample_attributes: Read BioSample attributes list from file

Description Usage Arguments Value

Description

Read in an XML file of BioSample field attributes and return as nested list structure. (This doesn't fit cleanly into a table like the packages information does.)

Usage

1

Arguments

fp

file path to read from, or NULL to use a default within the package directory.

Value

nested list of BioSample field attributes. Each named entry refers to a single field (column) used by one or more package templates. Each entry contains "metadata" and "extra"; metadata stores basic information like a description of the field and what packages it's used in. extra refers to additional per-metadata-item characteristics (currently only used for Packages).
