Section 7 - Local Validation

NOTE: TMCs are required to run the submission validation locally BEFORE uploading to Globus.

• Clinical assays do not need to complete this step.

IMPORTANT: When a new version of a metadata schema is generated, it will be published on the first day of the next month.

Locally validate the submissions directory: Use the validate_submission.py code, following the instructions in the README.

• Run the validation code. This code validates the submission directory content against the appropriate assay-specific metadata & data directory schema.
• Correct any errors. Repeat until no errors occur.
• A successful validation run will end with a “No errors!” message.

Contact the HuBMAP Helpdesk OR SenNet Helpdesk for assistance with persistent errors.
