JSON Schema Repository and Browser

JSON Schema is a vocabulary to specify the structure of a JSON document. JSON Schema is widely used and well supported and sees a growing use for many GA4GH standard representations and schema collection is growing and currently, there is no mechanism to manage these JSON schemas. As a solution, introducing JSON schema service which has the ability to manage growing JSON schemas and maintains the consistency among GA4GH JSON schemas by introducing a standard template as a meta schema. The proposed system consists of 3 main components such as Schema Service, Schema Repository and Schema UI. Schema service is designed as a REST full web service and mainly it manages GA4GH JSON Sachems. Schema Repository is the persistence layer for Schema Service and JSON schemas can be stored within the schema repository for retrieval. Schema Repository is implemented using a document-oriented database model. Schema UI is a single page web application for the application layer of the system and provide a user interface for JSON Schema management.
