  This DataLad extension package provides tooling for
  working with a particular metadata format: tabby.


  Another format?!


  Yes... No! tabby is JSON(-LD) in disguise.


  In a nutshell, tabby aims to be an approach to assemble
  complex metadata structures from simple building blocks:
  tables. Tables are easy to understand with a clear
  structure, just rows and columns. tabby specifies a few
  syntax elements to connect tables to form more complex
  structures. At the same time, tabby is implemented with
  the mindset that metadata without defined vocabularies has
  limited utility. Therefore, tabby aims to translate into
  JSON-LD to provide semantic precision without imposing its
  complexity on every aspect of metadata handling. This
  makes it possible to let curators enrich metadata without
  alienating these metadata from their original providers or
  sources.
