Consider using Frictionless Data Package #7

Closed ikreymer closed 4 years ago

ikreymer commented 4 years ago

Another possibility is to base this spec on a Frictionless data package: https://specs.frictionlessdata.io/data-package/

Pros: Would help with interoperability, and avoid creating a whole format from scratch. Cons: Would impose an existing schema, would need a strict manifest that defines the structure instead of a more loose 'convention based configuration' of putting files based into subdirectories.

Need to think about this more..

Done! Frictionless data package support was added in #21 The py-wacz converter tool creates and validates data packages (via datapackage.json)
