vera 0.4.0

Implementation of the ERAV data integration model

Vera is the reference implementation of the ERAV data model. ERAV is an extension to EAV with support for maintaining multiple versions of an entity with different provenance [1].

Getting Started

pip install vera

See the documentation for more information. See https://github.com/wq/vera to report any issues. Note that the vera modules are largely included within wq.db . The vera package simplifies the installation of additional third-party libraries needed for vera but not required by wq.db.
