Metadata for downloaded data #55

Closed Naeemkh closed 1 year ago

Naeemkh commented 1 year ago

Currently, we can download the data, but there is no accompanying information about how it was generated, the internal parameters used, or the meanings of the different columns. It would be helpful to have a separate file containing this metadata along with the data.

mauriciogtec commented 1 year ago

Currently there is .yaml file downloaded for every file with the metadata. The file contains important information, including what is the spatial graph, how many levels are there in treatment, etc. As for the column meanings, it is by design that we don't want to mention names to avoid users interpreting columns for research purposes.

I agree with prioritizing improving the metadata. I think the first step is to create the masterfile we have been talking about.

I used the following command and only .csv file is downloaded. There might be a bug.

spacebench nn binary 10 --output_path $PWD

@atrisovic can you look into this? if the metada is not downloaded the whole thing will crash.

atrisovic commented 1 year ago

Hi @mauriciogtec @Naeemkh yes, this sounds like a bug. I'll have a look into this.

Naeemkh commented 1 year ago

@atrisovic, @mauriciogtec, this issue has already been resolved. Correct?

mauriciogtec commented 1 year ago

Yes. Closing. :)
