Processing
The general way to process this type of dataset is:
- Inspect the files and folder hierarchy where the PI uploaded them in their folder on the datateam server in /home/visitor
- Upload one of each type of file to the dataset to more easily annotate the attributes as normal
- Alternatively, you can create and annotate the other entities fully in R if preferred
- Change the name and description of each file to be representative of all of the same type of files on the server.
- The name should include the entire file path
- You may need to reach out to the PI and have them explain the naming structure of the files
- Ask a Data Coordinator to move the data files from the ‘visitor’ folder to var/data’.
- Format the abstract using Markdown to include a link to the server using the dataset’s pre-issued DOI
- Once peer-reviewed, remove the files leaving the representative entities behind.
