FAIR Metrics (FAIRness) - Identifiers contain spaces #259

Closed jeffstazer closed 5 years ago

jeffstazer commented 5 years ago

There are 7 identifiers in the database which contain a space.

The identifiers are: "Brazil Ministry of Health public disease surveillance website" "Singapore Routine Surveillance" "MMWR morbidity and mortality tables" "Federal Center against HIV/AIDS of Russia" "CDCEpi Zika Github" "CDC WONDER US cause of death 1968-2015" "CDC WONDER US cause of death 1995-2015"

These identifiers do not play well with FAIR Metrics. Should we replace the spaces with underscores? Do something else?

Maybe use the URLs to these sites for the identifiers? The websites with data (1, 2, 4) have low importance (url will probably be fine).

I feel like 3, 6, 7 probably have entires from Data.gov (so make sure we didn't duplicate any entires).

5 is important, but using the URL should be fine.

The URL has been set as the identifier for these 7 records. These new identifiers have been checked against the dataset and are unique.
