Convert-Pheno
Convert-Pheno converts clinical and phenotypic records between BFF,
Phenopackets (PXF), OMOP-CDM, REDCap, CSV, CDISC formats, FHIR R4, openEHR,
cBioPortal, i2b2, PCORnet CDM, and Sentinel CDM.
The command-line interface is the primary interface. The same conversion engine is also available through a Perl module, Python binding, HTTP(s) API, and native desktop application.
Quick Start
convert-pheno -ipxf phenopacket.json -obff individuals.json
convert-pheno -ibff individuals.json -opxf phenopackets.json
convert-pheno -iomop omop-export/ -obff individuals.json --ohdsi-db
Entity-aware BFF output can write individuals, biosamples, datasets, and cohorts when the selected source route supports them:
convert-pheno -ipxf phenopacket.json \
-obff --entities individuals biosamples datasets cohorts \
--out-dir bff_out/
See the command-line interface guide
for commands by source and target, or run convert-pheno --help for the full
CLI option list.
Installation
Desktop Application
From Convert-Pheno 0.35, a native desktop application provides route selection, local file handling, conversion runs, output previews, and terminology review. See the desktop application guide.
Tested Examples
Synthetic fixtures under t/ provide tested inputs and reference
outputs for the supported conversion routes.
