Please also note, that a person is allowed to link to multiple contact information instances, hence it expects a list of dictionaries, instead of a single dictionary (which would be valid if only a single link is expected).

This means, optional properties, if not known, do not have to be defined in the respective JSON-LD, but they could also be listed with a **##null##** value. Please note in addition, that values for properties which expect an array should always be provided as such (cf. property **##"contactInformation"##**), even if only one item is defined.

77	77	You learned now how a valid JSON-LD for an openMINDS metadata instance looks like and how linkages between openMINDS instances are defined. In the following sections you will learn about the different tools that support you to create your own openMINDS JSON-LD metadata collection.

81		-One possible way to write openMINDS conform JSON-LDs is to use the openMINDS Python API which will help you to interact with the EBRAINS openMINDS metadata models and schemas. It consists of two sub-modules:
	81	+(% style="text-align: justify;" %)
	82	+openMINDS Python is a small library that allows you the dynamic usage of openMINDS metadata models and schemas in your Python application for generating your own collection of openMINDS conform metadata representations (instances) as JSON-LDs.
82	82
83		-The **openMINDS.generator** (coming soon) facilitates the translation of the openMINDS schema template syntax to other established formats, such as HTML and JSON-Schema (cf. also [[Technical details>>doc:Collabs.openminds.Documentation.Implementation details.WebHome]]).
84		-\\The **openMINDS.compiler** allows you the dynamic usage of openMINDS metadata models and schemas in your Python application for generating your own collection of openMINDS conform metadata representations (instances) as JSON-LDs (as described above). Please note that the openMINDS.compiler only helps you to generate correctly formatted JSON-LD metadata instances - the preparation on how you want to describe your research product with openMINDS is still up to you. If you need support in designing your own openMINDS metadata collection, check out the [[Tutorials>>openminds@ebrains.eu||target="_blank"]] which might give you hints on how to tackle your individual case or, of course, get in touch with us via [[openminds@ebrains.eu>>mailto:openminds@ebrains.eu]].
