Data Packaging requirements and design #7

Open mbjones opened 8 years ago

Research data sets are not atomic, and so we need a mechanism to describe data packages that allow us to provide organizational views of the files into discrete data packages or research objects. Use this ticket to discuss:

Packaging formats:

OAI-ORE -- see DataONE ORE-based Data Packages
datapackage.json -- rising in the the open gov community

Serialization formats

BagIt

I recently created a repository that goes fairly in depth with Whole Tale's packaging and serialization format. The next step is to move that information into the official readthedocs.
