This repository provides data for the push-pull interactions in agriculture, mainly amongst Zea mays, Sorghum, Desmodium species, and Striga hermonthica. See issue globalbioticinteractions/globalbioticinteractions#993
The following provides an example on how to make your interaction data available through Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI, http://globalbioticinteractions.org).
If you have comments or questions please open an issue.
If you want to make your own data discoverable through GloBI:
- Create a repository from this template dataset by visiting https://github.com/globalbioticinteractions/template-dataset/generate or clicking the "use this template" button.
- Edit your
README.md
and describe your data in a human readable form. - Ensure that your README.md contains a reference to
http://globalbioticinteractions.org
. - Edit your
globi.json
to provide a machine readable description of your dataset (e.g. citation, license, version, files, format). - Edit the name of your repository and description to make it easy for others to understand what your data is about.
After you do this, the data will be available through GloBI within a day or so.
If you don't feel comfortable being indexed by GloBI because your data isn't ready yet, or no longer up-to-date, you can set "deprecated": true
in globi.json
to unlist (or opt-out) the dataset to be indexed and made visible via https://globalbioticinteractions.org (see globalbioticinteractions/globalbioticinteractions#372).
Preserving and publishing your valuable data is now easier than ever.
To enable automated preserving and publishing your data:
- login/register with zenodo
- enable automated preservation and publication of your dataset using instructions at https://zenodo.org/account/settings/github/ or https://guides.github.com/activities/citable-code/
- edit your zenodo publication and add it to zenodo's Global Biotic Interactions community.
For a completed example, see the publication of this template repository at .
Integration testing, also known as "GloBI review by Elton", is currently supported through GitHub actions, and is enable automatically.
If you'd like to learn more about GitHub actions in general, please see https://github.com/features/actions . For reviewing the review script, please see ./.github/workflows/review.yml. You'll find that most of the review logic is captured in https://github.com/globalbioticinteractions/globinizer/blob/master/check-dataset.sh .
For any remaining questions about the review process, please open an issue or contact folks by email. There's plenty of ways to review species interaction datasets, and your questions, ideas and suggestions help to find more intuitive ways to do so. Thank in advance for sharing your ideas!
By the way, on a successful review, you should see a badget similar to the one below:
Now, whenever you make a change to data repository that is incompatible with GloBI, you receive a notification. If you'd like, you can include a build badge on your own html pages to see the health of your data. Here's an example of a "green" review badge:
However, if you see a "red" review badge like:
please check your review logs, or ask questions if you'd like to have some guidance on how to access or interpret the review reports.
The file interactions.tsv is a suggestion on how to encode your interaction data using a tab separated file format (tsv) in combination with columns described below. This provides an example on how to capture your data in a human and machine friendly way and keep it relatively doable to update the file using a basic text editor. Other formats are supported, just let us know about the syntax, and we'll make it work.
Each term has two columns: one for an id and another for a label. The former is to make the term machine readable, the latter to make is easy to read for humans. With both id and name present possible typos or other transcription errors can be detected with a (somewhat) straightforward algorithm.
