description	Deposit research objects and add semantic annotations to the RO-Hub portal using the rohub library.

ROHub Skill

The ROHub skill enables the Croissant Toolkit to deposit research data and metadata into the RO-Hub portal (https://rohub.org). It handles the creation of Research Objects (ROs) and the addition of semantic triples for rich provenance and discoverability.

🌟 Key Features

1. RO Creation: Programmatically create new Research Objects with titles, descriptions, and research areas.
2. RO Loading: Access and update existing Research Objects using their persistent identifiers (DOIs/UUIDs).
3. Semantic Annotations: Add structured triples (Subject-Predicate-Object) to research objects to describe variables, spatial coverage, and temporal coverage.
4. Integration: Harmonizes with the RO-Crate Expert and Croissant Expert to translate machine-readable metadata into RO-Hub semantic structures.
5. Authentication: Securely logs in to the RO-Hub API using environment variables.

🛠️ Configuration

The following environment variables are required for authentication:

• ROHUB_USER: Your RO-Hub username (e.g., your email).
• ROHUB_PASSWORD: Your RO-Hub password.

🚀 Usage

Deposit a new Research Object

python3 .gemini/skills/rohub/scripts/deposit.py --title "Arctic Radioisotopes" --description "Sea surface observations" --areas "Radiobiology"

Add annotations from a JSON-LD file (e.g., Croissant)

python3 .gemini/skills/rohub/scripts/deposit.py --id "ea792c69-9037-4d06-84a8-6fded7356e12" --metadata path/to/croissant.jsonld

Add annotations from a local metadata file

python3 .gemini/skills/rohub/scripts/deposit.py --id "85d38a45-d0cc-4269-9ca6-44d71b0c6ef7" --metadata path/to/metadata.jsonld
