Editor's Notes
BEXIS 2 is a software that needs individual instances, so ist NOT a portal
Designed for large collaborative projects as a central data management and exchange platform, best operated with a dedicated Data Manager
It is designed for active data, meaning, that data can evolve and be dynamic, the scope is the project-life-time, For long-term preservation data should be published to dedicated repositories, BEXIS 2 provides mechanisms/workfows for that
Focus on tabular data, since this is the main data type in the domains we work with, more details in a minute
Focus on data integration and re-use means: a) modelling the data structure, variables, units of each dataset and make those accessible to others, b) re-use of any information in the system to relief users from re-entering things
What do you think?
Could we upload this table exactly with this format? What is the problem?
You need transform your table to a form with only one line of header
PLEASE check at first the list of variables.
You can save the data structure and come back later to edit it.
