One remaining significant task in this effort to organized GMOD’s documentation is to further document Chado. You’ve noticed that there is some good documentation on Chado in the Wiki now, this is material that has been drawn from a number of different files, re-organized, and edited. Much of this material is theoretical and introductory. We shouldn’t minimize it’s importance, in fact it’s essential. What we need now is material that is very practical and specific.
There are 2 basic tasks:
There are about 25 Best Practices topics currently and 17 module pages. This topics and pages have been divided into 8 work packages, whenever possible related topics and pages have been gathered into one work package.
A bit of cheerleading: In another job I recently did a little project where I studied a number of open source schemas that handle sequence data and data related to sequence (e.g. Atlas, Biowarehouse, aMaze, Chado, GUS). There is no doubt that Chado stands head & shoulders above its comrades in terms of its expressiveness, logic and coherence, and extensibility. It is truly a work of conceptual art. It is also not the easiest schema to use, compared to its comrades. Let us complete this work that needs to be done on Chado so that the largest number of people can benefit from it.
