INFX 551 Foundations of Data Curation

This is our class repository. It includes - lecture slides, acitivities, and data.

Next steps:

1. Fork this repository
2. Add me nniiicc and your teammates as a collaborator
3. Change this read me file (see note below on markdown). Add the title of your project, and a brief description.
4. Go to Settings and make sure the Issues box is checked. (This allows your forked repository to have its own set of issues)

There are a number of folders, and I suggest keeping the file strucutre as I have arranged it. This inlcudes:

1. Code: You can put any software that you have used for your final project. This is 100% optional - you may not use or write any code for this project.
2. Data: Add curated datasets - more specific instructions forthcoming
3. Documentation: Any additional documentaiton (data dictionary, etc.) should go here.
4. Final Report: Directions
5. Use-Cases: For your second assignment you will write up a use-case following the W3C format for Data on the Web Best Practices. The use-case will be related to the quarter project, so I'd like you to place all of these in the same folder. If you write this document as a .doc you can use an online tool to convert to markdown .md.

New to Github? Cool - we'll go over this in Week 2. Be sure to sign-up for a Github account before that date.

New to Markdown? This is a really simple syntax for writing documentation. Markdown is a lot like editing a Wikipedia page - here is a great cheat sheet.
