Elements: Title, Description, Last Update #67

Closed torrin47 closed 5 years ago

Title should be a plain text string input with at least 2 separate words, description should be a text area with at least 5 separate words, Last Update should be a ISO 8601 element with either a calendar selector or repeating interval selected from a dropdown.

EPA spec for "Last Update" indicates: "Most recent date on which the dataset was changed, updated or modified, or for continually updated data, the frequency with which the data are updated."

This definition seems to overlap with "Update Frequency": "The frequency with which dataset is published or updated."

How do we resolve this @torrin47 @jzichichi ?

torrin47 commented 5 years ago

You're not wrong, it's a redundant feature of the Project Open Data Schema. https://project-open-data.cio.gov/v1.1/schema/#modified https://project-open-data.cio.gov/v1.1/schema/#accrualPeriodicity I'm not sure there's much to resolve. From a practical perspective, modified should be a date and not a repeating interval unless the data refresh occurs more frequently than metadata catalogs can refresh.

@aergul

Title looks good.
Description looks like it shows valid with 3 separate words, as opposed to requirement "description should be a text area with at least 5 separate words" Last Update looks good.

aergul commented 5 years ago

5 words enforced now for description

jzichichi commented 5 years ago

@aergul - Description looks good
