Following an offline discussion about reducing (unneeded) specificity of the IO entity types:
How about we switch from
Raw Data File
Derived Data File
Image File
to
Data File
Data Directory
The reasoning would be the following:
Raw
and Derived
is kind of arbitrary (and can possibly be derived from the process graph)Image File
, but not Binary File
or Text File
or Video File
or whatever. Questions regarding this level of specifity could be endless.@Freymaurer @Brilator @muehlhaus
this is the way
lgtm
Maybe even go a step further and default to Material Name
in the data model when there is only Output
without brackets?
directories, which we will definitely need
why?
Strongly agree with the other two points.
directories, which we will definitely need
why?
While working through the imaging use cases, the need for treating a directory that contains a set of files as a single entity (meaning one output node) became obvious.
I have seen there is an
Image File
Material Nodehttps://github.com/nfdi4plants/ARC-specification/blob/427935a6fe27ba611891e79027da4c86b82e1704/ISA-XLSX.md?plain=1#L626
maybe we can add
Image Directory
(or something along those lines) to allow for a single node that contains image series, e.g. for omero @HLWeil ?
