How to create or update a Data Package

The specs for ADRIA Data Packages are in this repository: https://github.com/open-AIMS/ADRIA-data-specs

We follow the Data Package specification from Frictionless Data: https://specs.frictionlessdata.io/

Creating and updating Data Packages is currently done manually. If you need to change an existing Data Package, follow these steps:

• Add/Remove/Change any files and folders you need
• Update the datapackage.json file following frictionless data specification. Remember to:
  • Add yourself to the list of contributors if necessary
  • Update the version
  • Update the description if necessary (typically it is not)
  • Update resources section if you removed, added or changed any file/folder
• Update the README file with the relevant information
• Update the Data Package folder with the current date
• If this is a release candidate, add a "_rc" to the end of the Data Package folder name

After creating a release candidate, send a message to other team members and upload it to teams so others can use your Data Package. Once it is considered stable, you would remove the "_rc" from the folder name and upload it to https://data.mds.gbrrestoration.org/
