Package: data-tracking
MRI Meta-data ExtractorThis is a Python library providing methods to scan folders, extract
meta-data from files (DICOM, NIFTI, …) and store them in a database.InstallRunpip installdata-tracking. (Only tested with Python3)UseImport the functions you need like this :from data_tracking.files_recording import create_provenance, visit.Create a provenance entity using :create_provenance(dataset, software_versions, db_url)

Create (or get if already exists) a provenance entity, store it in the database and get back a provenance ID.
* param dataset: Name of the data set.
* param software_versions: (optional) Version of the software components used to get the data. It is a dictionary
  that accepts the following fields:
    - matlab_version
    - spm_version
    - spm_revision
    - fn_called
    - fn_version
    - others
* param db_url: (optional) Database URL. If not defined, it looks for an Airflow configuration file.
* return: Provenance ID.Scan a folder to populate the database :def visit(folder, provenance_id, step_name, previous_step_id, config, db_url)

Record all files from a folder into the database.
The files are listed in the DB. If a file has been copied from previous step without any transformation, it will be
detected and marked in the DB. The type of file will be detected and stored in the DB. If a files (e.g. a DICOM
file) contains some meta-data, those will be stored in the DB.
* param folder: folder path.
* param provenance_id: provenance label.
* param step_name: Name of the processing step that produced the folder to visit.
* param previous_step_id: (optional) previous processing step ID. If not defined, we assume this is the first
  processing step.
* param config: List of flags:
    - boost: (optional) When enabled, we consider that all the files from a same folder share the same meta-data.
      When enabled, the processing is (about 2 times) faster. This option is enabled by default.
    - session_id_by_patient: Rarely, a data set might use study IDs which are unique by patient (not for the whole study).
      E.g.: LREN data. In such a case, you have to enable this flag. This will use PatientID + StudyID as a session ID.
    - visit_id_in_patient_id: Rarely, a data set might mix patient IDs and visit IDs. E.g. : LREN data. In such a case, you have
      to enable this flag. This will try to split PatientID into VisitID and PatientID.
    - visit_id_from_path: Enable this flag to get the visit ID from the folder hierarchy instead of DICOM meta-data
      (e.g. can be useful for PPMI).
    - repetition_from_path: Enable this flag to get the repetition ID from the folder hierarchy instead of DICOM meta-data
      (e.g. can be useful for PPMI).
* param db_url: (optional) Database URL. If not defined, it looks for an Airflow configuration file.
* param is_organised: (optional) Disable this flag when scanning a folder that has not been organised yet
  (should only affect nifti files).
* return: return processing step ID.BuildRun./build.sh. (Builds for Python3)(This includes the auto-generation of the README.rst based on the
