[Feature]: Config Future Development Ideas

[mavaylon1]

What would you like to see added to HDMF?

This is to keep track of ideas for the TermSetConfigurator:

• Currently if the config comes upon a TermSetWrapper, it will not perform any validation as the wrapper would have already done it. Now we could check to see that the validation from the config and the wrapper match, but I am not sold on this being needed completely.
• The config file needs to support compound data.
• Add method to check and prevent duplications in the config for a datatype under the same namespace.

Notes:

• We need to support the add_row and TermSet after the instance has already been created.
• Talk about both replacing data after the instance has been created (big change) and/or follow the DataIO hack of replacing data with a termset wrapped version of the data.
• dtype and shape validation and user created validator

What solution would you like?

Above

Do you have any interest in helping implement the feature?

Yes.

Note: I decided matching validations is not needed till an issue raises.
