RE: hcls dataset description comments

hi kim,



'For other edits, please fork the repository and create a pull request with
your changes'



of the four general comments, the first is really the only 'edit', i didn't
put it in the minor edits because it had some implications that the group
might not agree with.  if the change makes sense, it might be easier for
you to make the edit.



the other three are general comments and i'm not sure what the solution
might be, they were mainly points, as a reader, that weren't clear or were
a bit confusing.  these were all from the use case section so were probably
written by the groups themselves?  if i have permission, i can certainly
add them as issues.



cheers,

michael

Hi!



  Thanks for the suggestions. I have incorporated your minor edits.
Unbelievable how those slipped through after so many re-readings still.



  For other edits, please fork the repository and create a pull request
with your changes.



Best wishes,



Kim

thanks for the pointer, i've updated my comments based on this newer draft
below.  many fewer and i especially like the complete example in 10.1!

general comments:

·         s4.4 'Dataset Linking': might mention also that datasets are
derived from other datasets?
'A dataset may incorporate, or link to, data in other datasets, e.g. in the
creation of a data mashup ' --> 'A dataset may incorporate, be derived
from, or link to, data in other datasets, e.g. in the analysis of original
datasets or in the creation of a data mashup '

·         s8: odd that some of the top sections (8.1-8.3,8.5-8.7) are
individual organizations but three (8.4, 8.8, 8.9) have subsections for
different organizations.  maybe organize so all top level sections define a
type of organization with subsections beneath or make all top-level?

·         s8: some of the use cases could be more focused on how this note
will help them (8.5-8.7)

·         s8.9: how do Data Catalogs fit into this note?  wasn't clear to
me how this note is relevant to them

our use case questions:

·         how to reference 3rd party datasets that aren't described by this
standard, i.e. TCGA data from the DCC, simply use 'pav:retrievedFrom' with
the IRI being the URL into the repository?

·         we have a lot of intermediary files that we won't publish, the
software specified in creating our published datasets from its sources form
a (branching) workflow with the input being from the previous step(s) in
the workflow.  how best to represent this?  this note doesn't seem to cover
how the dataset is created so any recommendations?

minor edits:

·         there are two s6.2.3 sections

·         s8.8.1: '... what period it is updated. To know when to...'
should be '...what period it is updated to know when to...'?

Hello,



  I believe you were looking at an old document. There is currently only
one Figure in the note.



  Please check the actual draft at:
http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/joejimbo/HCLSDatasetDescriptions/blob/master/Overview.html



Best wishes,

hi all,



tremendous work, very clear and well-written.  my group at ISB, the
Shmulevich lab is looking to provide provenance for the analysis datasets
we are producing for TCGA.  we're not sure if we'll be able to 'go all the
way' but we want to make sure we have at hand all the information that we
could, at least in theory, be compliant.  as long as i was reading the
document, below are some notes.

·         the chembl example in s5 is not compliant to the property table
below, it probably is only supposed to show the relationship of the three
terms but that could be clarified

·         s6.2.12 could use the example filled in

·         6.3.2: not sure what an 'X level description' is

·         s8: odd that some of the top sections (8.1-8.3,8.5-8.7) are
individual organizations but three (8.4, 8.8, 8.9) have subsections for
different organizations.  maybe organize so all top level sections define a

·         s8.9: how do Data Catalogs fit into this note?  wasn't clear to
me how this note is relevant to them

·         would be nice to have a 'complete' example p[put together, maybe
based on chembl?

text issues:

·         Figure 1: 'Overview of dataset description level metadata
profiles and their relationships': reference not resolved, image doesn't
show

·         Figure 2: 'Improve diagram. Multiple appearance of
concepts/description levels unclear.': reference not resolved, image
doesn't show.  add actual label



minor edits:

·         bottom of s.3: 'placeholde' should be 'placeholder'

·         use straight quotes rather than slant quotes in s6.2.2 example
(and elsewhere)?

·         the text runs out of the box in s6.2.3 'Description'

·         s6.2.3: 'Dates of Creation and Issuance': 'state the date the
dataset was generated using dct:created and/or the date the dataset was
made public using dct:created' should be 'state the date the dataset was
generated using dct:created and/or the date the dataset was made public
using dct:issued'?

·         there are two s6.2.3 sections

·         s6.2.4: 'Creation: ... The date of authorship' should be '...The
date of creation' and 'Curation:... The date of authorship' should be '...The
date of curation'?

·         s8.5: the author list has end parenthesis without beginning
parenthesis

·         s8.8.1: '... what period it is updated. To know when to...'
should be '...what period it is updated to know when to...'
