Changelog

Source: NEWS.md

krt 0.1.0

First release.

Core

  • A neutral, typed core object ([new_krt()], [add_resource()], [new_resource()]) storing resources as present-only records, with the 14 ASAP resource types and identifiers kept in their own typed fields.
  • Lossless canonical serialization to JSON and YAML; CSV, Excel, ASAP, RIS, and BibTeX are computed views that emit explicit lossy-export warnings.
  • A rectangular-view coercion ([as.data.frame()][as.data.frame.krt_tbl]) and a tibble method.

Validation

  • A registry-driven validation engine with structural and semantic layers and conditional packs for cell-line authentication and mycoplasma, organism metadata, software reproducibility, and human-subject ethics/consent. These are minimal, honestly scoped checks, not full ICLAC or ARRIVE assessments.
  • Per-profile severity overrides and duplicate detection.
  • A release-readiness gate ([krt_preflight()]) combining validation, a lossless round-trip, a safe public export, attribution, and projection-loss checks.

Identifiers

  • Identifier parsing, normalization, and composition; resolvers for RRID, DOI, ORCID, PubMed, ROR, and Cellosaurus, all offline-first and graceful.
  • Ontology and registry autocomplete ([krt_suggest()]).

Profiles and licensing

  • A profile registry (generic, asap, star-methods, and custom) with programmatic license and attribution introspection ([krt_audit_licenses()]).
  • The bundled ASAP profile assets are CC BY 4.0 (from Zenodo doi:10.5281/zenodo.17917979); package code is GPL-3.

Sharing

  • Redaction of ethics and consent metadata for public-audience output, applied by every export, render, deposit, and provenance-graph path.
  • Manuscript extraction (regex and optional LLM) from PDF, JATS, DOCX, and text.
  • Provenance recording with PROV-JSON and RO-Crate 1.1 export.
  • Deposit to Zenodo and Figshare; connectors for eLabFTW and protocols.io.
  • Merge and diff for multi-author workflows.

Interfaces and extension

  • A command-line interface, a Shiny editor ([launch_krt()]), and an RStudio addin.
  • A plugin SDK ([krt_plugin_api()]) and a Bioconductor-friendly S4 adapter.
  • Internationalization scaffolding (po/) with example French and Spanish catalogs.
