@laurianvm : include optional fields in gsheets template

@kmexter : check if other optional fields should be added

kmexter commented 2 months ago

Checking if the fields in the googlesheets in https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1L7Kpz75q0rh6hjZdc7365VV1_Yb07jmi are sufficient: variablesMeasured need to be split int variablesMeasured and variablesTerm so that people can add the vocab term for each variable where they have that. Hmm...if they have 4 variables and know the URL only for 2, how do we handle that? either they have to enter "oxygen | nitrogren" in one col and "https://sxxxx | none" in another, which I can see as being annoyining, or push it all into one column "oxygen (https://sadf) | nitrogen" OR we ask them just to put in the URL and if no URL, the name. We then have to read the URL to get the name (because I think having the string is very useful for peeps) in the ttl file, but that should be OK. I will go with that solution unless anyone objects: @pieterprovoost any thoughts?

So my proposal is "variablesMeasured" is kept, but the instructions are updated List of variables (measurements) that the dataset covers. These should come from controlled vocabularies and be entered as a URI (https://....) unless you really cannot find your term in a vocabulary in which case use a short string -- WP1 can provide support if you cannot find terms in a controlled vocabulary. If your data are EOBV/EBVs or Indicators; then use the columns "EOVDescription" and "IndicatorDescription" instead. Separate values with a "|" character. This is pretty much in fact what the column WAS before, but maybe @laurianvm needs to take note of the fact that the values here could be a mix of URLs and strings Is that OK, @ptagliolato - was it you who asked about this at the meeting today?
