Hello, I think we need to discuss the following
1. When is the data eligible to go to Repository There could be several factors here. Mainly cleanliness and completeness. 2. Place other than Repository for temporary data. I think it should surely not be "only an attachment to a post here" Then it becomes difficult to find later Administrators should decide on suitable place 3. The particular formats itself This could vary based on type of data My observations is that for many types of data Multiple Linked Tables serve better than a single CSV file which is more common. In this case is .mdb acceptable or is there any other open format for linked tables. this could be a long topic... 4. Compressing multiple files in one file Unless there is a reason multiple files that go together should be bundled in to one file. This should also be true for repository. 5. About the content itself Since multiple people will contribute/edit to data we will have to have some rules. example : when there is a Unique for the data it should always be used otherwise combining comparing the data becomes difficult. ( presently I am trying to collate the election results data and find there are differences in the different sources especially in the Names of places. Will be putting up the collated data in .mdb format in a few days) On Friday, May 23, 2014 10:06:35 AM UTC+5:30, Nisha Thompson wrote: > > In the discussion guidelines thread Dilip suggested we have some data > sharing guidelines and a place to store some of the more casual datasets, > people are cleaning up. > > I think its a good idea. > > Can we use this thread as a place to discuss formats, procedure, and a > good place to put it. > > We have a github already set up, we can start with that, maybe create a > project called - Data that needs to be cleaned up. > > Any other suggestions? > > Nisha > > -- > Nisha Thompson > DataMeet.org > ni...@datameet.org <javascript:> > skype: nishaqt > mobile: 962-061-2245 > -- Datameet is a community of Data Science enthusiasts in India.
