System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
This tool automatically generates a standardized, human-readable data dictionary for every variable in a merged or analysis-ready dataset, enabling consistent metadata documentation and sharing in BIDS-style formats.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Annotates each column with a descriptive label, data type, cardinality, sample values, and null fraction.
- Produces a JSON data dictionary named <input_stem>_data_dictionary.json that can be used for data governance, reproducibility, and data sharing.
- Useful when preparing merged TSV/CSV or Parquet files for neuroimaging, clinical, or analytics projects, or when documenting a dataset for publication.
Quick Start
Provide a merged input file (e.g., merged.tsv) to generate the data dictionary in the same directory.
