We briefly discussed the suggested folder structure yesterday (16/04/21) at the Data Lab meeting. Some points that were raised:
The general principle of separating inputs, analysis & outputs is great. I think some of us agreed that separating the 'raw data' from working/cleaned data is also sensible.
Thanks Will! Are DaSH working on a new folder structure at the moment, is there a timeline for that? If it's not going to be very soon, should we implement the raw/clean data change for now, and revisit later to align with DaSH?
I would be happy with this. @ClaraGlocke or @BScheliga do either of you have strong opinions on this?
Hello, Sorry for some reason just became aware of this conversation thread. As discussed at the lab meeting, the DaSH Archiving group hope to look at folder structures soon, as in the next 2-3 weeks, and had hoped to do this with input from ACHDS. I am just out of a meeting with Gary Cooper. @dblana I believe he is going to contact you Dimitra, to see if the ACHDS lab group and DaSH Archive Group could come together to discuss this.
In the brief discussions in the Archive Group so far, thoughts run along the same lines as Will's, that is using the general principle of separating inputs, analysis & outputs, and the separation of 'raw data' from working/cleaned data.
Queries from Folder Structure Working group to be returned to by participants:
Over in our collaborative project repo we thought that a better project structure might be to separate the input into raw and clean data. Currently we have an Input folder (that includes data, metadata and definitions file).
Are there any other changes we want to make to the recommended folder structure?
