:::::::::::::::::::: {.content-hidden}

HI THERE! Everything inside this `.content-hidden` block is a comment and will
not be included in the rendered document. I am using these to talk about build
elements that are not relevant to the final HTML document.

NOTE: the `include` directives below are needed to load the metadata that are used
      to populate the testimonials and orgs sections below. The ultimate effect
      of these includes is to sort out the metadata blocks so that the YAML
      header of this file remains managable and so that these data can be shared
      across several files (e.g. for community/hubs.qmd).
      You can find documentation for that directive at
      <https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/includes.html>.

## Data Standards

The core of the hubverse are the [**robust and flexible data standards**](tools/data.qmd) that
allow administrators to write **structured guidelines** for tabular model
output submissions that can be **easily validated, ensembled, and visualized**.

<!-- NOTE: If we do not include the grid class in this figure, it inherits the parent column sized class and outgrows its container -->

![The data standards for each hub are represented as configuration files defined by the hubverse schema. These configuration files are the source of truth for the hub](/includes/img/hub-data-config.png){.grid alt='diagram showing hubverse-org/schemas pointing to both tasks.json and admin.json. tasks.json points to model output and target data with the label "data validation". admin.json points to a box that shows contact information, file formats, and data storage'}

## Software

[**hubverse software**](tools/software.qmd) is written in R and provides tools for
all phases in the life cycle of a hub.
