The NOMAD meta-info allows to define physics data quantities. These definitions are
necessary for all computer representations of respective data (e.g. in Python,
search engines, data-bases, and files).

This modules provides various Python interfaces for

- defining meta-info data
- to create and manipulate data that follows these definitions
- to (de-)serialize meta-info data in JSON (i.e. represent data in JSON formatted files)

Here is a simple example that demonstrates the definition of System related quantities:

.. code-block:: python

    class Run(MObject):
        pass

    class System(MObject):
        \"\"\"
        A system section includes all quantities that describe a single a simulated
        system (a.k.a. geometry).
        \"\"\"

        m_section = Section(repeats=True, parent=Run)

        n_atoms = Quantity(
            type=int, description='''
            A Defines the number of atoms in the system.
            ''')

        atom_labels = Quantity(type=Enum(ase.data.chemical_symbols), shape['n_atoms'])
        atom_positions = Quantity(type=float, shape=['n_atoms', 3], unit=Units.m)
        simulation_cell = Quantity(type=float, shape=[3, 3], unit=Units.m)
        pbc = Quantity(type=bool, shape=[3])

Here, we define a `section` called ``System``. The section mechanism allows to organize
related data into, well, sections. Sections form containment hierarchies. Here
containment is a parent-child (whole-part) relationship. In this example many ``Systems``,
are part of one ``Run``. Each ``System`` can contain values for the defined quantities:
``n_atoms``, ``atom_labels``, ``atom_positions``, ``simulation_cell``, and ``pbc``.
Quantities allow to state type, shape, and physics unit to specify possible quantity
values.

Here is an example, were we use the above definition to create, read, and manipulate
data that follows these definitions:

.. code-bock:: python

    run = Run()
    system = run.m_create(System)
    system.n_atoms = 3
    system.atom_labels = ['H', 'H', 'O']

    print(system.atom_labels)
    print(run.m_to_json(ident=2))

This last statement, will produce the following JSON:

.. code-block:: JSON

    {
        "m_section" = "Run",
        "System": [
            {
                "m_section" = "System",
                "m_parent_index" = 0,
                "n_atoms" = 3,
                "atom_labels" = [
                    "H",
                    "H",
                    "O"
                ]
            }
        ]
    }

This is the JSON representation, a serialized version of the Python representation in
the example above.

Sections can be extended with new quantities outside the original section definition.
This provides the key mechanism to extend commonly defined parts with (code) specific
quantities:

.. code-block:: Python

    class Method(nomad.metainfo.common.Method):
        x_vasp_incar_ALGO=Quantity(
            type=Enum(['Normal', 'VeryFast', ...]),
            links=['https://cms.mpi.univie.ac.at/wiki/index.php/ALGO'])
        \"\"\"
        A convenient option to specify the electronic minimisation algorithm (as of VASP.4.5)
        and/or to select the type of GW calculations.
        \"\"\"


All meta-info definitions and classes for meta-info data objects (i.e. section instances)
inherit from :class:` MObject`. This base-class provides common functions and attributes
for all meta-info data objects. Names of these common parts are prefixed with ``m_``
to distinguish them from user defined quantities. This also constitute's the `reflection`
interface (in addition to Python's build in ``getattr``, ``setattr``) that allows to
create and manipulate meta-info data, without prior program time knowledge of the underlying
definitions.

.. autoclass:: MObject

The following classes can be used to define and structure meta-info data:

- sections are defined by sub-classes :class:`MObject` and using :class:`Section` to
  populate the classattribute `m_section`
- quantities are defined by assigning classattributes of a section with :class:`Quantity`
  instances
- references (from one section to another) can be defined with quantities that use
  section definitions as type
- dimensions can use defined by simply using quantity names in shapes
- categories (former `abstract type definitions`) can be given in quantity definitions
  to assign quantities to additional specialization-generalization hierarchies

See the reference of classes :class:`Section` and :class:`Quantities` for details.
