Week 11

22 August to 28 August 2022

• Weekly meet on 23 August.
  • Agenda:
    • update the changelog
    • update the dataset contributions notebook
    • create a response class
    • make a github release, conda-forge release till the time we do a PyPI release

Tasks accomplished

• [feature-update] created response class for each module
  • A response class in each module has
    • an __init__ function (to initialize but no specialized function to do
    • all existing functions as methods to the class
    • get_search_url returns OBIS API URL for the query. it is an inherited method from parent OBISQueryResult class.
    • some functions have get_mapper_url methods to get OBIS Mapper URL, we identify functions to show a mapper url using a self.mapper flag (if true for a method then it has a corresponding Mapper URL).
    • docstrings have also been updated
  • Additional Changes
    • Tests have also been updated. Wrote tests for new methods and an extensive testing to check whether returned url do really exist have been introduced. I believe this will make this package more robust.
    • Updating docs for all modules as per new feature updates.
• finished writing contributions_quantification.ipynb notebook.
  • completed analysis on how much dataset owners have contributed to the OBIS ecosystem by publishing by
    • temporal distribution analysis
    • spatial distribution analysis
    • taxonomic distribution analysis
    • MoF analysis
• updated the changelog and upgraded version for the package
  • also changed the Development Status to 4 - Beta for PyPI
• updating depth definition in docs through #73
  • added units and direction to depth values and tries to remove ambiguity in the physical parameters being used to query from OBIS via pyobis. Directly resolved #68
