This application will create _SFB_-conform meta data (_meta.json_ files) for all participants in the _participants.tsv_ file of you your study. The _meta.json files_ will include the subjects _ID_, _sex_, _age_ and _record-date_. Moreover it is possible to register a template _meta.json_ file, which values will be adopted into the newly created meta-files.
This application will create _SFB_-conform meta data (_meta.json_ files) for all participants in the _participants.tsv_ file of you your study. The _participants.tsv_ file is part of the [Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS)](https://bids.neuroimaging.io/). The created _meta.json files_ will include the subjects _ID_, _sex_, _age_ and _record-date_. Moreover it is possible to register a template _meta.json_ file, which values will be adopted into the newly created meta-files.
### Requirements
It is required to have a Java version greater or equal to 1.8.0 installed. You can download the current Java Corretto here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/de_de/corretto/latest/corretto-11-ug/downloads-list.html
After installing Java, you should be able to launch the application by simply double-clicking it.
### Participants.tsv format
The _participants.tsv_ has to follow the this [standard](https://bids-specification.readthedocs.io/en/stable/modality-agnostic-files.html#participants-file). Moreover for the conversion at least following fields must be included:
-`participant_id`: The exact name of the subject folder. Usually this is composed of two parts: "sub-" and the _SFB code_. The _SFB code_ will be extracted and used as _Subject ID_. The _SFB code_ cannot contain hyphens.
