Hi Jayson, yes, i agree with you that the current naming convention requires some tidying up. We are aware of this but the clean up did not make to rc6 so you will have to put up with this for a while longer. To shed some light on this:
Unlike 0.7, the 0.8 does not allow for multiple datasets to reside in one mart unless they behave like a group ei datasets sharing the same filters and attributes: (example: species in ensembl or cancer types in ICGC). "config" is being replaced by "access point". Access point describes the configuration of a dataset (or a group of datasets if they reside in one mart). a On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 5:00 AM, HARSHBARGER Jayson <[email protected]>wrote: > Hello again Biomart developers,**** > > ** ** > > I’m having issues understanding the dataset/database naming convention in > 0.8.
