DBCP ==== Reviewers agreed this was an excellent and very useful compilation. (Note that SBN made some minor format changes to align comet name fields with the usual conventions for SBN comet data sets, and to add MISSING_CONSTANTS in fields that clearly had missing values.) o Please add a MISSING_CONSTANT for the diaphragm field. o The diaphragms listed for the Goldberg, Brosch (1995) observations of Swift-Tuttle are "0.", rather than blank. Is this a typo? If not, please explain what is meant (or replace the "0." with a MISSING_CONSTANT value). o Please split the PROJECTED_DIAPHRAGM in kilometers (column 10) into two strictly numeric columns. o If possible, provide more explicit information for the offset column (column 11) and make the information present more uniform. For example, converting all offsets to the same units; pulling the numeric part(s) out into a separate numeric column(s) and leaving the text descriptions in their own column, etc. o If possible, provide both direction and distance of offsets. o The term "degree of polarization" should be replaced with "percent polarization" in the column names and file descriptions (because it looks like percent polarization is the value actually provided). o The are linear polarizations << -1% (down to -40%), which seems wrong. Is this a typographical error? If not, please add a note of explanation (in the data set description or the column description, or both). o Please add more detailed definitions of the angles mentioned - for example, in columns 14 (position angle), 18 (phase angle) and so on. o The data set description says there are 68 references included, but there are only 56 references in the reference list. o References in the data file do not always match references in the reference list in format, making it hard to search for one in the other. o In the data set description, please describe what is meant by "completeness" in this case. For example, what criteria were used to select or exclude data from this compilation? o The data set description should give the date range as "1940 to 2005", to indicate to the user when the last update was completed. o Please provide a more explicit definition of "linear polarization" in the context of this collection, including the reference plane used to define the Stokes parameters. o Please provide a more explicit definition of "circular polarization", including how the handedness is defined. o If possible, include URLs or contact information in the reference list for those data listed as "unpublished". o Please split the main data table into two separate tables: one for published data and one for unpublished data. o Please split the filter/band column (column 8) into three separate columns: numerical columns with effective wavelength range and a character column with the band name. o If possible, provide more explicit date of observation information for the records from Wolf (1972) and Hadamchick and Levasseur-Regourd (2003). (If not, MISSING_CONSTANT values are needed.) Also, note that "Hadamchick,Levasseur-Regourd (2003)" is spelled two different ways in the data file. This should be checked and corrected. o The data set catalog file description mentions 68 references, but there are only 56 provided in the references.txt file. Why the discrepancy? o Please correct typographical errors noted by T. Farnham (appended below). o Please correct PDS Standards error noted by S. Adams (appended below). _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Tony Farnham's List of Typos ---------------------------- In AAREADME.TXT Under "catalog": "... located), and and a listing" should be "... located), and a listing" In DATASET.CAT In 2nd paragraph of DATA_SET_DESC, "technics" should be "techniques" In DBCP.LBL File Column 8 has units of angstrom. How do V and R fit in with this? Column 11 gives is listed as an offset from the nucleus. It might be better described as a "description of the offset. Also note that large numbers are km. No information on the direction of the offsets that are not given? _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Steve Adams' List of Standards Problems --------------------------------------- 0. Same general comments from NULL_0000a apply to this volume. Such as, reference.cat file in catalog/targets directory that really isn't a reference catalog file and dataset.html file in the root directory doesn't have a pds label. 1. root directory A. voldesc.cat 1. Delete comment after PUBLICATION_DATE, not needed and makes ingestion fail 2. Filenames in CATALOG object do not match what is on the volume B. aareadme.txt 1. Kinda sparce. This file should be a general description of what is on the volume. 2. File is missing required (recommended) sections. 3. Some directories missnamed, (e.g., sample/data) 4. Some directories listed, but not on volume, (i.e., /DOCUMENT/CALIB_DOCS/*/, /DOCUMENT/COMET_POS/) C. dataset.html 1. delete this file from the final archive 2. catalog sub-directory A. dataset.cat 1. Delete comment after DATA_SET_RELEASE_DATE, not needed and makes ingestion fail. B. catalog/targets directory 1. reference.cat a. Rename file (as discussed previously) b. Ingestion failed due to missing TARGET_NAME keyword, however, this keyword is in your file. Need to investigate more as to why ingestion fails. 3. data sub-directory A. dbcp_ref.lbl/dbcp_ref.tab 1. Do you want the information in this table to be in the PDS reference lookup database? If so, we need to reformat it into a REFERENCE.CAT file. 4. document sub-directory A. no comments 5. index sub-directory A. no comments
