Sounds good in general. But it is not clear to me, why the hierarchy is indicated with the / character. In YAML we can give explicit hierarchies, which are parsed automatically, and which can also include several sub-topics. To expand on your example:
region: greenland
subregion: southwest
name: KNS
name: Nordbo
name: other_cool_glacier
Having some geospatial information in the meta file seems to be very important. Here I would require at least one coordinate.
position: -49.32, 69.5
kml: optionally the kml filename
polygon: optionally a polygon in WKT or similar (SVG) format
In YAML we can give explicit hierarchies, which are parsed automatically, and which can also include several sub-topics.
Fully agree with this!
PS: Tinu, I just edited your comment. On Github you can insert code starting with triple ` followed by the language, and close it with the same triple.
Yes - I forgot of this YAML feature.
Each dataset should have an optional region.
Where
top
can be one of greenland, antarctica, or large area (arctic, himalaya, europe, etc.) or country (norway, switzerland, etc.? Andsub
can be a sub-region (greenland/southwest, antarctica/thwaites/)And
name
needs to be a name for the dataset. For other akas, it is easy to pick a name (for example,author/someone_yyyy
ororganization/GEUS/AWS
. It is a bit trickier to pick a dataset name for each region.Optional
Require or suggest a geospatial.{kml,gpkg} for each dataset so we support geospatial search and potentially can contribute to https://journalmap.org/
