is it possible to "plugin" additional local checks?

[yarikoptic]

dcm2niix adds field ConversionSoftwareVersion into sidecar .json, which is great since it allows to verify that all data files were converted using the same version, which could be "career saving" ;)

Unfortunately this field is not a part of BIDS specification, so I cannot probably suggest enhancing bids-validator itself. So I wondered if may be you see an easy way to setup locally additional checks which bids-validator would pick up.

thanks in advance for ideas

The current way to do this would be to provide a patched schema.

We should provide a way to apply patches to the schema.
