Descriptions

Incremental data uploads: Upload a single dataset at a time, or a single class of metadata.

Dataset Type For example, we could have different datasetType: data / metadata / dataAndMetadata. A "metadata" dataset type would be a dataset (e.g. an excel file to be uploaded) where all of the worksheets represent different structural metadata tables: indicators, countries, etc.

A "data" dataset type would be all data points. No structural metadata.

A "dataAndMetadata" dataset type would be both data and metadata. Currently as of 2018/11/01, the /admin route is showing such datasets with the label "full" (rather than "dataAndMetadata").

Dataset Sub-type The dataset types 'metadata' and 'data' would contain sub-sets. Examples:

Metadata

Data One for each country/survey round, e.g. GHR1, KER6, etc.
