Add External Tool for transforming Data Tables to format required by Google Data Commons #11006

Open sekmiller opened 2 weeks ago

sekmiller commented 2 weeks ago

Overview of the Feature Request The Google Data Commons requires a specific format and ordering for its data tables' columns, while Dataverse allows any format for its table. This tool take in a Dataverse Table and a descriptive json file and transform the data table and modify the required config file for the GDC.

What kind of user is the feature intended for? At this point it will require the data depositor to create/modify the description document and run the tool. We may be able to automate the process somewhat.

What inspired the request? The need for transforming data for use in our custom GDC installation
