Add an example of searching for a repo for a specific data type?

"I would just add that there has not really been a consensus on where to put metabolomics data - something like GenBank would dramatically change the landscape for metabolomics data sharing"

[carriewright11]

@vortexing do you know of researchers at hutch that do metabolomics that we could reach out to about their thoughts?

[vortexing]

I do not personally, no. I think perhaps asking in Slack might be worth it on this one!! There isn't a clear Shared Resource that supports this I think?

[carriewright11]

I found this on the other NIH link (not the interactive table):https://www.metabolomicsworkbench.org/

I also found this:https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/ from here:https://www.nature.com/sdata/policies/repositories (so we should probably add this link to the course)

[carriewright11]

@avahoffman I wonder if we should add to the course/ maybe your decision tree about looking at these other resources?
so after the interactive table check these...
https://www.nlm.nih.gov/NIHbmic/domain_specific_repositories.html
https://www.nlm.nih.gov/NIHbmic/other_data_resources.html
after these check:
https://www.nature.com/sdata/policies/repositories
https://www.re3data.org/

[carriewright11]

This will be resolved with PR #62 I think

[carriewright11]

idk if we need to show examples of how someone searches for something like metabolimics in the table and goes from there... what do we think? @avahoffman, @ehumph, @vortexing

[avahoffman]

do you mean like using ctrl+F on the page? I am hoping folks can figure that out. Or do you mean something else?

In general, I think we should be careful about too many options because it can be overwhelming. Maybe we could offer a link (e.g., "Not satisfied with your repository options?") that links to the appendix that users can check if the NIH tables aren't satisfactory? It could just be a page of repository links.

[carriewright11]

No I mean searching through the various tables for a specific example - like oh metabolomics is not in the interactive table, but there are resources in these other tables for example.

[carriewright11]

do you think that we currently show too many options? - I only included the links NIH pointed out

[carriewright11]

This is what we have now... could move the nature and registry of research data repositories to a collapse link or somewhere else or something

[carriewright11]

I forget where the NIH mentioned those but we could use that link instead

[avahoffman]

Oh I see, you want to provide an example using "metabolomics"?

I think that could help but it's probably okay as is. Maybe we could see if this is something that comes up in feedback?

Edit: Ignore me about the list of repos looks fine, I wasn't sure if we were adding more 😛

[carriewright11]

oh gotcha - yeah I agree - we don't want to overwhelm them

[ehumph]

Am trying to follow the conversation, but have to admit that I thought it looked fine as is!

[avahoffman]

Okay to close this issue then?

[carriewright11]

Can we leave it or make a new one as a reminder about adding a possible example?

[avahoffman]

Could just clarify in the issue title

[vortexing]

I attempted to get to talk to the Metabolomics core director here but I was stymied by political challenges. Thus I have nothing to report here and no known folks who I could get enough useful info from fast. I would put this in the camp of "Future Finding Out we'll do in 2023".

OK sounds good - Since I found some in the NIH tables I feel like that is where they should share their data -idk if they are the best option, but it seems like a reasonable choice for now
