-----------------------------------------
Component/s: Python
R
> Read and write dataset description in both R and Python
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-8404
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8404
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Python, R
> Reporter: Vincent Nijs
> Priority: Major
>
> Below a feature request for feather. Wes suggested opening an issue here. The
> idea is to add metadata to a data frame to store and display information
> about the data (e.g., variable descriptions, data source, main company
> contact about data, changes, etc. etc.). For a simple example in R (+ shiny)
> that uses a "description" attribute in markdown format and then renders it in
> HTML when loaded, see the link below. See the description for the diamonds
> data.
> [https://vnijs.shinyapps.io/radiant]
> Having a data format that works for both R and Python *and* maintains
> attributes like a data description would be great!
