Subject: [PATCH] [SCHEMA] Consolidate schema files by term type (#883)

* Reorganize schema.

* Fix formatting issues.

* Start documenting new structure in README.

Still need to document the rules files.

* Fix every indent ever.

* Fix MD spacing.

* Update README.md

* Update README.md

* Document the rules files.

* Clean up the datatypes rules files.

* Get schemacode working with new structure.

* It turns out the extra indents are not strictly YAML compliant.

* "date" should be a format, not a pattern.

See https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification/pull/885/files#r715815807.

* Apply suggestions from code review

The datatype descriptions.

Co-authored-by: Chris Markiewicz <effigies@gmail.com>

* Apply suggestions from code review

Make utility functions public.

* Apply suggestions from code review

Thanks @Remi-Gau!

* Explain entity "types" a bit better.

* Try fixing the markdown style issues.

* Update README.md

* Update README.md

* Update README.md

 ## The format of the schema
 
-The schema reflects the files and objects in the specification, as well as
-associations between these objects. Here is a list of the files and subfolders
-of the schema, roughly in order of importance:
-
--   `datatypes/*.yaml`: Data types supported by the specification. Each datatype
-    may support many suffixes. These suffixes are divided into groups based on
-    what extensions and entities are allowed for each. Data types correspond to
-    subfolders (for example, `anat`, `func`) in the BIDS structure.
-
--   `entities.yaml`: A list of entities (key/value pairs in folder and
-    filenames) with associated descriptions and formatting rules. The order of
-    the entities in the file determines the order in which entities must appear
-    in filenames.
-
--   `top_level_files.yaml`: Modality-agnostic files stored at the top level of a
-    BIDS dataset. The schema specifies whether these files are required or
-    optional, as well as acceptable extensions for each.
-
--   `modalities.yaml`: Modalities supported by the specification, along with a
-    list of associated data types. Modalities are not reflected directly in the
-    BIDS structure, but data types are modality-specific.
-
--   `associated_data.yaml`: Folders that are commonly contained within the same
-    folder as a BIDS dataset, but which do not follow the BIDS structure
-    internally, such as `code` or `sourcedata`. The schema specifies which
-    folders are accepted and whether they are required or optional.
-
--   `suffixes/*.yaml`: Suffixes supported by the specification.
-    Each suffix schema file contains, at minimum, `name` and `description`
-    fields. Additionally, it may have a `unit` field defining possible
-    units for data associated with that suffix, as well as fields
-    defining the range or types of values which are allowed for the data,
-    such as `minValue` and `maxValue`.
-
--   `metadata/*.yaml`: Valid fields for sidecar metadata json files.
-    These files contain, at minimum, the following fields: `name`,
-    `description`, and a set of fields for describing the field's data type.
-
-    The data types include `type`, which MUST have a value of
-    `array`, `string`, `integer`, `number`, `object`, or `boolean`.
-    There are additional fields which may define rules that apply to a given
-    type.
-
-    -   `array`: If `type` is `array`, then there MUST be an `items` field at
-        the same level as `type`. `items` describes the data type and rules that
-        apply to the individual items in the array. The same rules that apply to
-        describing data types for the field itself apply to `items`.
-        Additionally, there may be any of the following fields at the same level
-        as `type`: `minItems`, `maxItems`.
-        Here is an example of a field that MUST have three `integer` items:
-        ```yaml
+The schema is divided into two parts: the object definitions and the rules.
+
+The object definitions (files in `objects/`) describe attributes of individual
+objects or data types in the specification.
+Common information in these files includes full names, descriptions, and
+constraints on valid values.
+These files **do not** describe how objects of different types
+(for example file suffixes and file entities) interact with one another, or
+whether objects are required in a given dataset or file.
+
+The rules (files in `rules/`) describe how objects related to one another,
+as well as their requirement levels.
+
+## Object files
+
+The types of objects currently supported in the schema are:
+
+-   modalities,
+-   datatypes,
+-   entities,
+-   suffixes,
+-   metadata,
+-   top-level files,
+-   and non-BIDS associated folders.
+
+Each of these object types has a single file in the `objects/` folder.
+
+-   `modalities.yaml`: The modalities, or types of technology, used to acquire data in a BIDS dataset.
+    These modalities are not reflected directly in the specification.
+    For example, while both fMRI and DWI data are acquired with an MRI,
+    in a BIDS dataset they are stored in different folders reflecting the two different `datatypes`.
+
+-   `datatypes.yaml`: Data types supported by the specification.
+    The only information provided in the file is:
+
+    1.  a full list of valid BIDS datatypes
+    1.  each datatype's full name
+    1.  a free text description of the datatype.
+
+-   `entities.yaml`: Entities (key/value pairs in folder and filenames).
+
+-   `metadata.yaml`: All valid metadata fields that are explicitly supported in BIDS sidecar JSON files.
+
+-   `suffixes.yaml`: Valid file suffixes.
+
+-   `top_level_files.yaml`: Valid top-level files which may appear in a BIDS dataset.
+
+-   `associated_data.yaml`: Folders that may appear within a dataset folder without following BIDS rules.
+
+### `modalities.yaml`
+
+This file contains a dictionary in which each modality is defined.
+Keys are modality abbreviations (for example, `mri` for magnetic resonance imaging),
+and each associated value is a dictionary with two keys: `name` and `description`.
+
+The `name` field is the full name of the modality.
+The `description` field is a freeform description of the modality.
+
+### `datatypes.yaml`
+
+This file contains a dictionary in which each datatype is defined.
+Keys are the folder names associated with each datatype (for example, `anat` for anatomical MRI),
+and each associated value is a dictionary with two keys: `name` and `description`.
+
+The `name` field is the full name of the datatype.
+The `description` field is a freeform description of the datatype.
+
+### `entities.yaml`
+
+This file contains a dictionary in which each entity (key/value pair in filenames) is defined.
+Keys are long-form versions of the entities, which are distinct from both the entities as
+they appear in filenames _and_ their full names.
+For example, the key for the "Contrast Enhancing Agent" entity, which appears in filenames as `ce-<label>`,
+is `ceagent`.
+These keys are also the recommended variable names for their associated entities in BIDS-compliant code,
+since many entities (such as `ce`) have very short filename elements.
+Each key's associated value is a dictionary with five keys:
+
+-   `name`,
+-   `entity`,
+-   `description`,
+-   `type`,
+-   and either `format` or `enum`.
+
+The `name` field is the full name of the entity. For example, the `name` for `ceagent` is "Contrast Enhancing Agent".
+
+The `entity` field is the entity as it appears in filenames. For example, the `entity` for `ceagent` is `ce`.
+
+The `description` field is a freeform description of the entity.
+The description should apply to _all_ uses of the entity,
+so if there is some additional information about the entity that applies specifically to a subset of suffixes or datatypes,
+then that information should be provided in the specification, rather than the schema.
+
+The `type` field defines the representation type for the value associated with the entity.
+Given that all entities appear in filenames, they should all be strings and the `type` field should always be `string`.
+This is true of both alphanumeric entities (such as `acq-desc`) and numeric ones (such as `run-1`).
+
+The `format` field defines the specific format the value should take.
+Entities are broadly divided into either `label` or `index` types.
+
+When `format` is `index`, then the entity's associated value should be a non-zero integer, optionally with leading zeros.
+For example, `run` should have an index, so a valid key-value pair in a filename would be `run-01`.
+
+When `format` is `label`, then the value should be an alphanumeric string.
+Beyond limitations on which characters are allowed, labels have few restrictions.
+For example, `acq` should have a label, so a valid key-value pair might be `acq-someLabel`.
+
+For a small number of entities, only certain labels are allowed.
+In those cases, instead of a `format` field, there will be an `enum` field, which will provide a list of allowed values.
+
+### `metadata.yaml`
+
+This file contains definitions for all metadata fields (fields which may appear in sidecar JSON files)
+currently supported in BIDS.
+
+Entries in this file contain, at minimum, the following fields: `name`,
+`description`, and a set of fields for describing the field's data type.
+
+The data types include:
+
+-   `type`, which MUST have a value of `array`,
+-   `string`,
+-   `integer`,
+-   `number`,
+-   `object`,
+-   or `boolean`.
+
+There are additional fields which may define rules that apply to a given type.
+
+-   `array`: If `type` is `array`, then there MUST be an `items` field at
+    the same level as `type`. `items` describes the data type and rules that
+    apply to the individual items in the array. The same rules that apply to
+    describing data types for the field itself apply to `items`.
+    Additionally, there may be any of the following fields at the same level
+    as `type`: `minItems`, `maxItems`.
+    Here is an example of a field that MUST have three `integer` items:
+    ```yaml
+    ExampleField:

+### `suffixes.yaml`
+
+This file contains a dictionary in which each suffix is defined.
+Keys are the suffixes (for example, `T1w` for a T1-weighted image),
+and each associated value is a dictionary with three keys: `name`, `description`, and (optionally) `unit`.
+
+The `name` field is the full name of the suffix.
+The `description` field is a freeform description of the type of data stored in files with the suffix.
+
+The `unit` field describes units in which the data may appear.
+When no `unit` field is present, data with that suffix is assumed to be in arbitrary units.
+The `unit` field may use an `anyOf` keyword if multiple valid units are possible.
+
+These entries may also, rarely, include fields defining the range or types of values that are valid for
+files with the suffix.
+For example, `MTRmap` files must have values between 0 and 100, since they represent percentages.
+
+### `top_level_files.yaml`
+
+This file contains a dictionary in which each top-level file is defined.
+Keys are the filenames (without file extensions),
+and each associated value is a dictionary with two keys: `name` and `description`.
+
+The `name` field is the full name of the file.
+The `description` field is a freeform description of the file.
+
+### `associated_data.yaml`
+
+This file contains a dictionary in which each non-BIDS folder is defined.
+Keys are folder names, and each associated value is a dictionary with two keys: `name` and `description`.
+
+The `name` field is the full name of the folder.
+The `description` field is a freeform description of the folder.
+
+## Rule files
+
+The files in the `rules/` folder are less standardized than the files in `objects/`,
+because rules governing how different object types interact in a valid dataset are more variable
+than the object definitions.
+
+-   `modalities.yaml`: This file simply groups `datatypes` under their associated modality.
+
+-   `datatypes/*.yaml`: Files in the `datatypes` folder contain information about valid filenames within a given datatype.
+    Specifically, each datatype's YAML file contains a list of dictionaries.
+    Each dictionary contains a list of suffixes, entities, and file extensions which may constitute a valid BIDS filename.
+
+-   `entities.yaml`: This file simply defines the order in which entities, when present, MUST appear in filenames.
+
+-   `top_level_files.yaml`: Requirement levels and valid file extensions of top-level files.
+
+-   `associated_data.yaml`: Requirement levels of associated non-BIDS folders.
+
+### `modalities.yaml`
+
+This file contains a dictionary in which each key is a modality abbreviation and the value is a dictionary with one key: `datatypes`.
+The `datatypes` dictionary contains a list of datatypes that fall under that modality.
+
+### `datatypes/*.yaml`
+
+The files in this folder are currently the least standardized of any part of the schema.
+
+Each file corresponds to a single `datatype`.
+Within the file is a list of dictionaries.
+Each dictionary corresponds to a group of suffixes that have the same rules regarding filenames.
+
+The dictionaries have three keys: `suffixes`, `extensions`, and `entities`.
+
+The `suffixes` entry is a list of file suffixes for which all of the extensions in the `extensions` entry
+and all of the entity rules in the `entities` entry apply.
+
+The `extensions` entry is a list of valid file extensions.
+
+The `entities` entry is a dictionary in which the keys are entity names and the values are whether the entity is
+required or optional for that suffix.
+Any entities that are not present in this dictionary are not allowed in files with any of the suffixes in the group.
+
+**NOTE**: The order in which entities appear in these dictionaries does not reflect how they should appear in filenames.
+That information is present in `rules/entities.yaml`.
+
+As an example, let us look at part of `func.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+- suffixes:
+    - bold
+    - cbv
+    - sbref
+  extensions:
+    - .nii.gz
+    - .nii
+    - .json
+  entities:
+    subject: required
+    session: optional
+    task: required
+    acquisition: optional
+    ceagent: optional
+    reconstruction: optional
+    direction: optional
+    run: optional
+    echo: optional
+    part: optional
+
+# Phase (deprecated)
+- suffixes:
+    - phase  # deprecated
+  extensions:
+    - .nii.gz
+    - .nii
+    - .json
+  entities:
+    subject: required
+    session: optional
+    task: required
+    acquisition: optional
+    ceagent: optional
+    reconstruction: optional
+    direction: optional
+    run: optional
+    echo: optional
+```
+
+In this case, the first group has three suffixes: `bold`, `cbv`, and `sbref`.
+The second group has one suffix: `phase`.
+While the valid extensions are the same for both groups (`.nii.gz`, `.nii`, and `.json`), the entities are not.
+
+Specifically, files with the `phase` suffix may not have a `part` entity,
+while this is an option for files with the `bold`, `cbv`, or `sbref` suffixes.
+
+### `entities.yaml`
+
+This file contains a list of entities in the order in which they must appear in filenames.
+
+### `top_level_files.yaml`
+
+This file contains a dictionary in which each key is a top-level file and the value is a dictionary with two keys:
+`required` and `extensions`.
+The `required` entry contains a boolean value (true or false) to indicate if that top-level file is required for BIDS datasets or not.
+The `extensions` entry contains a list of valid file extensions for the file.
+
+In cases where there is a data file and a metadata file, the `.json` extension for metadata file is included.
+
+### `associated_data.yaml`
+
+This file contains a dictionary in which each key is a folder and the value is a dictionary with one key: `required`.
+The `required` entry contains a boolean value to indicate if that folder is required for BIDS datasets or not.

-name: DwellTime
-description: |
-  Actual dwell time (in seconds) of the receiver per point in the readout
-  direction, including any oversampling.
-  For Siemens, this corresponds to DICOM field 0019, 1018 (in ns).
-  This value is necessary for the optional readout distortion correction of
-  anatomicals in the HCP Pipelines.
-  It also usefully provides a handle on the readout bandwidth,
-  which isn't captured in the other metadata tags.
-  Not to be confused with `EffectiveEchoSpacing`, and the frequent mislabeling
-  of echo spacing (which is spacing in the phase encoding direction) as
-  "dwell time" (which is spacing in the readout direction).

+  unit: s
+T1w:
+  name: T1-weighted image
+  description: |
+    In arbitrary units (arbitrary).
+    The contrast of these images is mainly determined by spatial variations in
+    the longitudinal relaxation time of the imaged specimen.
+    In spin-echo sequences this contrast is achieved at relatively short
+    repetition and echo times.
+    To achieve this weighting in gradient-echo images, again, short repetition
+    and echo times are selected; however, at relatively large flip angles.
+    Another common approach to increase T1 weighting in gradient-echo images is
+    to add an inversion preparation block to the beginning of the imaging
+    sequence (for example, `TurboFLASH` or `MP-RAGE`).

+T2starmap:
+  name: Observed transverse relaxation time image
+  description: |
+    In seconds (s).
+    T2-star maps are REQUIRED to use this suffix regardless of the method used to
+    generate them.
+  unit: s
+T2starw:
+  name: T2star weighted image
+  description: |
+    In arbitrary units (arbitrary).
+    The contrast of these images is mainly determined by spatial variations in
+    the (observed) transverse relaxation time of the imaged specimen.
+    In spin-echo sequences, this effect is negated as the excitation is followed
+    by an inversion pulse.
+    The contrast of gradient-echo images natively depends on T2-star effects.
+    However, for T2-star variation to dominate the image contrast,
+    gradient-echo acquisitions are carried out at long repetition and echo times,
+    and at small flip angles.
+  unit: arbitrary
+T2w:
+  name: T2-weighted image
+  description: |
+    In arbitrary units (arbitrary).
+    The contrast of these images is mainly determined by spatial variations in
+    the (true) transverse relaxation time of the imaged specimen.
+    In spin-echo sequences this contrast is achieved at relatively long
+    repetition and echo times.
+    Generally, gradient echo sequences are not the most suitable option for
+    achieving T2 weighting, as their contrast natively depends on T2-star rather
+    than on T2.

+  description: |
+    In arbitrary units (arbitrary).

+    generate them.
+    Note that although this image is T1-weighted, regions without MR signal will
+    contain white salt-and-pepper noise that most segmentation algorithms will
+    fail on.
+    Therefore, it is important to dissociate it from from `T1w`.
+    Please see [`MP2RAGE` specific notes](/99-appendices/11-qmri.html#unit1-images)
+    in the qMRI appendix for further information.
+VFA:

-  FLASH (Fast-Low-Angle-Shot) is a vendor-specific implementation for spoiled
-  gradient echo acquisition.
-  It is commonly used for rapid anatomical imaging and also for many different
-  qMRI applications.
-  When used for a single file, it does not convey any information about the
-  image contrast.
-  When used in a file collection, it may result in conflicts across filenames of
-  different applications.
-  **Change:** Removed from suffixes.
