seedcase-sprout: Grow structured, organised, and FAIR data

Sprout is one component of the Seedcase Project framework that aims to take data created or collected for research studies that has been prepared and tidied and “grow” it by building it into a structured format. Sprout is designed to finish the last steps of building a data package, by providing tools to create metadata that correctly describes data and to organise the data and metadata into a coherent structure.
