Data model #94

Open diatomsRcool opened 4 years ago

diatomsRcool commented 4 years ago

I would like to suggest that you add a column to the table of trait resources to capture a link to the documented data model or a very brief description of the type of data base. For example, is it a relational database? an RDF triplestore?

Sounds wonderful! Are there any fields that capture what you are looking for in the dataset template at https://github.com/open-traits-network/open-traits-network.github.io/blob/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/register-dataset.md ? If not, please edit the template, create a pull request for review. For adding a column to the table, please edit https://github.com/open-traits-network/open-traits-network.github.io/blob/master/datasets.md to add desire column.

I have interpreted the @diatomsRcool as requesting two unrelated things:

  1. For a "brief description of the type of database" -- this is not currently represented in any of the fields in [your data submission template]. I think they are looking for something along the lines of dataType (ex: RDF, TSV)
  2. They are also asking for a field which links 'to the data model'. @diatomsRcool, I am curious what kind of information you hope the "link to the documented data model" will contain? A link to a paper describing the modeling method? If so, what purpose other than providing links to relevant documentation will this serve. (I ask out of curiosity and not because I think this is a bad idea!).
