jwa32 / CO2-Emissions-and-deforistaion-

CO2 emissions and deforestation are two large contributors to the high increase in CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere. Recently cattle farmers have been using fires to clear large areas of land in the Amazon rain forest, this has lead to nearly 60-70% of the trees dying. The Amazon rain forest is the largest land mass that produces oxygen for the entire globe. In China the main source of energy is coal power plants, this only adds more CO2 to the atmosphere and it causes respiratory problems to the people living in China.

Schema question re new probType attributes #16

Open ebeshero opened 4 years ago

ebeshero commented 4 years ago

@lewisabia @ads171 @jwa32 I'm taking at look at your modified schema and have a question about revisions to this line:

probType =
    attribute probType {
        "climateChange" | "extinction" | "humanLifeSupport" | "deforest" | "carbonGas" | "people" | "desease" |"nature"|"budget"|"country"|"time" |"fires"|"smoke"
    }

You've added some vague attributes: "people", "nature", "country". How do these help to characterize the problem? By "people" do you really mean certain things people are doing? By "country": remember you have a <gov> element you can wrap content inside. I don't see how "country" qualifies as a problem type. By "nature": that's TOO big a category--every issue you're coding has to do with nature in some way.

@probType is meant to help you identify specific kinds of problems. "budget" makes sense for things that will get <gov> codes inside.

Also, do you really need two attributes for both "smoke" AND "fires"? Can't you pick one here--isn't this the same problem?

You've misspelled one: "desease" should be "disease". That's a good one to include--more specific than just "people".
