The data must be submitted as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files, whose columns must have specific names and values.\n\nThe submission steps are the following ones:\n\n## Creating an issue describing your contribution\n\nAs a first step, you are recommended to [open an issue](https://github.com/ec-jrc/citsci-explorer/issues) providing a description of the data source and the projects you would like to contribute. This would help understand whether your contribution is in scope with this work, and to verify which information has been collected for the projects to be contributed.\n\n## Preparing the files to be submitted\n\nThe submission consists of 2 CSV files:\n- one describing the data source\n- one describing the project records\n\nThe columns and values of these files must correspond to the ones defined in the data schema. Please note that all columns not matching the defined names will be ignored.\n\nThe [`examples` folder](https://github.com/ec-jrc/citsci-explorer/tree/master/examples) in this repository includes two empy CSV files with the standard column names. You can copy-paste the data there, and modify the column values (if needed) to match the allowed values.\n\n## Creating a pull request\n\nOnce the two CSV files are ready, you can create a pull request to [the `src` folder](https://github.com/ec-jrc/citsci-explorer/tree/master/src).\n\nThe title and/or description of the pull request must include a reference to the issue you have previously created.\n\nThe two files to be submitted should ideally encoded in UTF-8, and they must have a file name following the pattern:\n- `[N]-catalog-[name].csv`\n- `[N]-projects-[name].csv`\n\nwhere \"N\" is an integer, and \"name\" is the abbreviation of your data source. \n\nNote that \"N\" and \"name\" should correspond to the same values in both files - e.g.:\n- `1-catalog-citsci.csv`\n- `1-projects-citsci.csv`\n\nThe value of \"N\" must be incremental to the ones used in the already contributed data sources in folder `src`.\n\n# Data schema\n\nThe following sections illustrate the fields to be used in the CSV files to be submitted.\n\n\n\u003e :information_source: Whenever possible, the field name links to the corresponding term in the [Citizen Science Ontology](https://ec-jrc.github.io/citsci-ontology/prj/) (under development).\n\n\n## Data source\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCode\u003c/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValues\u003c/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDescription\u003c/th\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003c/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ccode\u003ec_name\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efree text\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe name/title of the data source\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ccode\u003ec_description\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efree text\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA brief description of the data source\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ccode\u003ec_contact\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eemail or URL\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA contact email / URL for the data source\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ccode\u003ec_url\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eURL\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe URL of the page of the data source\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ccode\u003ec_publisher\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efree text\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe name of the organization who published / released the data source\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ccode\u003ec_type\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ccode\u003eDesk research\u003c/code\u003e, \u003ccode\u003eOnline survey\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe way project records have been collected\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003c/tbody\u003e\n\u003c/table\u003e\n\n## Project\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCode\u003c/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValues\u003c/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDescription\u003c/th\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003c/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://ec-jrc.github.io/citsci-ontology/prj/#project-guid\"\u003e\u003ccode\u003eid\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003einteger\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe identifier for the project in the data source, expressed an an integer (starting from 1).
