Output dataset tag information in json results

[ammaraziz]

Feature request to output the dataset tag/version used to generate the nextclade output.

Currently, the dataset tag is not captured in the results output (json or tsv). The dataset tag version is useful for tracking what nextclade dataset was used to generate the results. This is especially useful for users like me who use the web platform but also useful for CLI users. The tag version allows me to keep track of how the results were generated as part of QC process.

The json file might be a good place to include the dataset tag version.

@ammaraziz Hi Ammar. How do you imagine it looks like?

Do I just add this information into nextclade.json output? Or do you want a separate file?

Perhaps we could just add ability to download the dataset files in Web, and you would then take the tag.json file from it?

I don't know how to organize it such that it's the most useful for you.

Hi Ivan,

Looking back at the my suggestion, the web version is fine as it is. On the main page it states the dataset version so i think that's okay.

Where it would be super helpful is to include the dataset version in the json output. If i remember correctly there's a section with metadata.

But anywhere you seem appropriate would be super handy.

@ammaraziz Just to clarify, there are 2 json outputs. Do you mean nextclade.json (with analysis results) or the tree.json (with Auspice tree)? Or both?

nextclade.json imo is the best place to put it.

Thanks!
