#46 Quality of data

[Dawn Field]

In anticipation of getting a data dump from NCBI/EMBL
could we please discuss the adapting the "data set
viewing functionality" in the genomemine?

For example, this type of view:

http://www.genomics.ceh.ac.uk/cgi-
bin/genomemine/gminemenu.cgi?
action=dataset_variables&table_name=composition_all&ta
ble_title=%20Calculated%20Composition%20data%20for%
20Bacteria%20:%20data%20for%20all%20protein%20genes

We will need to be able to quickly assess the
completeness of any given field (e.g. lat_lon)...

If we modified the above page for example, to allow
upload of a RC (row column) file we could greatly
extend it's functionality.

"QualityViewer" would allow upload of an RC file,
with unique variable names, and perhaps additional
rows like

VARIABLE - the obvious first row of any spreadsheet
TYPE - the type of variable, such that we could do
more useful things like show text as a pie chart or
numbers as a histogram etc
DEFINITION - the full definition
