This may be a bug in the PyNWB/HDMF validator. I thought this was resolved in https://github.com/hdmf-dev/hdmf/pull/613 . @cechava can you share that test file that you created?

Separately, PyNWB/HDMF should cache the `neurodata_types` key. That is a bug.

I would like such a tool as well. Just printing the `NWBFile` object gives some basic information. We could write a simple script that outputs just that: Output from printing...

An `NWBFile` (and all other neurodata_types) now have practically unique object IDs, which can serve the purpose of identifying an NWBFile and its contents*. As such, I think we can...

Note that making `identifier` optional in the API will break backwards compatibility of the API. i.e. calls such as: ```python nwbfile = NWBFile('description, 'id', start_time) ``` will no longer work....

Hm. I see your point. Yes, it would be pretty confusing to have the API and schema refer to different names for the NWBFile/Session. Ok, never mind.

Proposed solution from @oruebel @ajtritt @bendichter : change the schema to make `identifier` optional, and do not change the API until the next major version of the NWB schema &...
