Overview

The dtool project project provides tools for managing (scientific) data. It aims to help in three areas:

1. Adding structure and meta data to your project and files
2. Providing programmatic discovery of your data
3. Verifying the integrity of your data

Design philosophy

The tools in this project should produce outputs that can be understood without access to these tools. This is important as it is likely that the outputs of from these tools may outlive these tools.
