[Hackathon] At the hackathon it was decided that the datesets created by autogen in the orginal version should be removed. Users will "raise their hand" in case that any specific of these datasets are needed.

Need

• Remove datasets/attributes listed below from the schema (if not removed already)
• Update the release notes for autogen to indicate which specific datasets have been removed
• Update the PyNWB API to remove the removed datasets/attributes also from the API

List of relevant autogen datasets

• Redundant storage of the path of links stored in the same group:

  • /indexed_timesries_path: Path to which the link “indexed_timeseries” points to
  • /segmentation_interface_path: Path to which the link “segmentation_interface” points to
  • /masked_imageseries_path: Path to which the link “masked_imageseries” points to
  • /clustering_interface_path: Path to which the link “clustering_interface” points to
  • /source_electricalseries_path: Path to which the link “source_electricalseries” points to
  • /<image_stack_name>/original_path: Path to which the link “original” points to
  • /epochs/epoch_x/links: Array of strings of the from “A is path”

• List groups/datasets (of a given type or property) in the current group

  • /interfaces: Names of the groups in the module/group
  • /<image_plane>/roi_list: Names of the roi_name groups in this group
  • /unit_list: Names of the unit_N groups
  • /external_fields: List of fields that are stored as external links
  • /data_link: List of TimeSeries that link to a data field
  • /timestamp_link: List of TimeSeries that link to the same timestamp field

• /missing_fields: List of required/recommended fields that are missing in the time series (i.e., the file is not NWB compliant)

• /epochs/epoch_x/tags : A sorted list of the different tags used by epochs

• /num_samples: Number of samples in data (scalar)

• /cluster_num: Unique values of the dataset num (i.e., cluster indexes used)
