Builders to produce MongoDB collections associated with specific categories of materials data are implemented in the software package. These take a set of MongoDB collections as input, extract and transform data from them, and then output a new collection. The schema used by builders for the input and output collections is defined by a set of standardized document models. We use a Python library called to structure these document models, and we store our documents models within the software package. Additionally, these models are used to define the schema for the Materials Project API which has its server-side code implemented in .
To browse our document models defined in emmet, see . For example, see the ThermoDoc defined as an example document model that powers both the and the Materials Project's .
The figure below illustrates the entire Materials Project build pipeline including builders and all input/output collections:
For information on how to run any of the emmet builders, see the section of the maggma software package which defines a lot of the core builder related code and CLI.
