@pkalita-lbl have you worked on anything like this yet?

I'm getting the Attributes for one NCBI Biosample here from the efetch API. We also have a Postgres version of the NCBI Biosample database on SPIN.

There's some code in https://github.com/INCATools/biosample-analysis that tries to clean up some NCBI Biosample attributes. I don't think it uses nmdc-chema or submission-schema classes as its target.

It was some of the earliest and worst code I wrote for BBOP.

Maybe in https://github.com/INCATools/biosample-analysis/blob/mam-envo-mapping/src/mixs-envo-mapping/biosample-triad-mapping.py?

It might not be much use doing any more research in there.

I don't know why the actions are saying

Because nmdc-submission-schema depends on xmltodict (^0.13.0) which doesn't match any versions, version solving failed.
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

https://pypi.org/project/xmltodict/0.13.0/

I have the sense that team members like @aclum and @sujaypatil96 are developing code for this in nmdc-runtime or other repos and I propose closing this PR

Efforts of the current squad have been focused on nmdc biosamples -> ncbi samples + SRA records, not the other way around.

@aclum @pkalita-lbl I am closing this PR now based on

• the priorities you expressed
• the fact that this might not be the best repo for generating submission portal friendly TSVs of NCBI Biosamples
• the fact that we could use the BBOP NCBI Biosample DuckDB (and aren't dependent on live efetch calls)
• even if we do use efetch, the code I wrote here isn't especially innovative
