### How to access MIxS standards

The standards can be browsed at https://genomicsstandardsconsortium.github.io/mixs/. The latests stable version of the MIxS standard in various machine readable formats from the [release](release) folder. MIxS is currently available in GraphQL, JSON-LD, JSON schema, OWL, prefixmap, protobuf, SCHACL, SHEX, SQL schema and Python. Java will be addde in a future release, as will Excel templates for data collection. There is currently only one version of MIxS released in this repository (MIxS 6). When newer versions are released, links to older versions will be provided here

To support existing implementers who have been using previous Excel-based versions of MIxS, we have provide a manually created [Excel workbook](release/excel) with the same format as MIxS 5. However, we highly recommend using one of the machine readable artifacts available in the [release](release) folder.

MIxS is divided into checklists and packages.

**[Checklists](https://genomicsstandardsconsortium.github.io/mixs/#checklists)** include the required, recommended, and optional metadata fields for a specific type sequence: genome, metagenome, marker gene, or xxx. For genomic sequences (MIGS), there are checklists for specific taxa (Eukaryotes, Bacteria, Viruses, and Plants as hosts).

For genomic sequences (MIGS), there are specific checklists for different taxa groups (Eukaryotes, Bacteria, Viruses, and Plants as hosts).

**[Packages](https://genomicsstandardsconsortium.github.io/mixs/#packages)** supplement checklists by providing additional terms to describe specific environements in which a sample was collected. For example, the Agriculture package has a number of terms to describe agricultural environments.

For example, the Agriculture package has a number of terms to record attributes specific to agricultural environments.

Packages can be used in conjunction with any checklist, so, for example, if you sequence metagenome within an agricultural environment, you would use MIMS + the Agriculture packages. All possible [combinations](https://genomicsstandardsconsortium.github.io/mixs/#combinations) of checklists and packages are available on the web browser.
