[GRASS-PSC] Preservation of Spearfish data set on Zenodo

[Michael Barton]

One thing to consider is the change in vector formats. The earlier Spearfish versions used the old vector topology and data formats, with vectors sort of like rasters in terms of associated attribute info. For GRASS 6, this changed to one similar to today, but with dbf as the attribute table format. Might want to archive both versions.

Hi PSC,

earlier this year it was agreed to deposit the Spearfish dataset on Zenodo.

The original GRASS4-dataset finally just got its DOI:

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7930523<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7930523__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!fTm1EQjAn1XSrj_N_lOI8b24nqfh_0C6pfoWwKJbtWqLUJkKhgEjqOp_wA3QH7s_a9b-qQOIgalJQavcFuTrVRI$>

The Spearfish datasets for GRASS5/6/7/8 will be added as versions with their own version DOI.

Here's a question regarding possible redundancvies:


For GRASS 5.x there are three distinct versions for the Spearfish dataset according to https://grass.osgeo.org/sampledata/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://grass.osgeo.org/sampledata/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!fTm1EQjAn1XSrj_N_lOI8b24nqfh_0C6pfoWwKJbtWqLUJkKhgEjqOp_wA3QH7s_a9b-qQOIgalJQavcmipVLcQ$>

spearfish_grass60data-0.1.tar.gz<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://grass.osgeo.org/sampledata/spearfish_grass60data-0.1.tar.gz__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!fTm1EQjAn1XSrj_N_lOI8b24nqfh_0C6pfoWwKJbtWqLUJkKhgEjqOp_wA3QH7s_a9b-qQOIgalJQavcaA2zfM8$>

Both archives "0.1" and "0.3" have the same filesize, while "grass60data" is slightly smaller.

Should all three versions be preserved and versioned by DOI ?

Seems like pre-releases, while now we do have DOIs for RCs, there is no need in general to have DOI for a version meant for testing only. Back then, the 0.1 and 0.3 might have been around for a long time (I don't know), but from today's perspective, that's all forgotten. 6.0 is a long time ago (no date on our Trac website [1] and a broken link).
