Contributing

Gen3SchemaDev is an open source project, and we highly encourage any contributions and PRs. Specifically we need the community to help with the following:

1. Keeping the gen3 metaschema up to date
2. Adding business rule logic to the rule validator module.
   1. For example, a node with the category data_file should have a collection of required data file properties such as md5sum, filesize, etc.

For PRs, please follow the contributing guidelines.
