ONLINE DATA Re: [MORPHMET] Your opinion + a tiny piece of your exotic data

2017-09-18 Thread andrea cardini 

Hi Vincent,
I might help only with the data. In the last years I've started trying 
to publish data often together with papers.


You'll find data in (if I remember well) nts, morphologika and MorphoJ 
formats in the online first paper on the Wainer's rule (out now in 
Hystrix). That a fairly big 3D dataset (1300 something specimens). There 
are more data in different formats also in the Viscosi & Cardini, 2011, 
paper (2D leaves).
There are more data also in the two papers on mirroring one-side only 
data (from structures with object symmetry - published in 2016-17; both 
2D and 3D landmarks).


Almost all those papers and data should be easy to find using the links 
in my webpage: https://sites.google.com/site/alcardini/home/pubs


If I ever manage to find the time, I will try to start adding data also 
for some of the older stuff I published (as long as I am the owner of 
the data or the coauthors agree). That will take time, as I am not good 
at archiving data.


I am sending this to morphmet as well, as others asked me about data 
recently.


Good luck with the new package.
Cheers

Andrea

when sweating and spoiling time exporting from/to various existing

tackle this with this package. Not sure it would be useful elsewhere but 
it sure will be by my side.


I write to you today to ask you if you:
1- think I have forgotten a case in the current five rules 

2- are keen to share some data. A very small fraction of datasets or 
even a single complete shape would be perfect. I'm particularly 
interested in exotic format. Being a newbie to everything outside 
outlines, all text-based formats including .tps, .nts, .xml and others 
are exotic to me so every single contribution will be warmly welcomed. 
Unless if you're keen to do it and explicitely write it to me, I won't, 
of course, don't share them, not even for tests or whatever.


Due to its "essentialist" nature, Modown file format could be used to 
import any kind of morphometrics data (making request #1 important) into 
R (and thus everywhere) and as a intermediate step when converting from 
one format to another (if request #2 allows decent testing).


Besides my eternal gratitude you will be duly acknowledged in the 
package (unless you dont want).


All the best from southern France,

Vincent
