Rich Data Services supports its own JSON structure as a way of bulk uploading metadata into the system. This format allows multiple updates of variable and classification metadata to be imported at once. The JSON structure is as follows:
{
"metadata": {
"variables": {
"resources": [ // an array of variable resources
{
"id": "var",
"name": "Var",
"label": "label",
"dataType": "TEXT|NUMERIC|DATE",
"width": 10,
"classification":"classId" // reference to the classification id
}
]
},
"classifications": {
"resources": [
{
"id": "classId", // classification id
"codes": {
"resources": [
{
"value": "value",
"label": "label"
}
]
}
}
]
}
}
}
A template of this structure is attached and can be filled out to ensure that users are correctly formatting their metadata.
