8 years ago Thanks @waylonflinn! These all seem sensible. In fact, the license -> licenses change is already pretty much agreed: https://github.com/frictionlessdata/specs/issues/236
Can we bring the rest of these issues over to the https://github.com/frictionlessdata/specs/issues issue tracker? You can raise them individually. Thanks again, and this is a super great time to raise them!
@danfowler requested that I get more involved here. I caution him to be more careful what he asks for, in future.
This is a short list of items that have come up as I worked through needs at dataship. Some involve changes for consistency, some are extensions.
sourcesFor consistency rename
webtourl. This is about using a consistent property name for URLs. Same thing likely applies toauthorandcontributor, but I haven't done anything with those yet.homepage(string) ->web(object)Change the homepage string to an object with a
nameproperty and aurlproperty. Also rename it fromhomepagetoweb. This came up in the context of hosting datapackages for media companies (specifically five thirty eight). This is used to link back to a page published on their site that highlights the data. Likely to come up a lot when serving this segment.license->licensesThis needed to be an array for us.
createdThis new field is an ISO 8601 string describing when the datapackage was created, in UTC.
