So, I have been all over social media to get the message out about ChAMP and I am pleased with the initial results.  But, I get the feeling that if I don't keep constantly 'fanning the flames' as it were, the project will drop off the radar real quick.  I guess rather than being controversial (and get folk all riled up) I will ask lots of questions via Twitter, ResearchGate and LinkedIn.  Which leads me to a thought... Where is the app to allow me to write it once and send it out to all the streams?  It's got be somewhere...

Anyway, I just put up the metadata structure poll after having fleshed out ten categories of info that seem to make logical sense to me.  I hope folk give me some feedback on this...

I think another part of this project has led me to something else I feel I need to find and/or create - an ontology for numeric scientific data (ONSciD ?).  By that I mean being able to annotate individual numeric data to describe the value, error, precision etc. (How nerdy is that?)  Searching the web I found this which is interesting but not really what I am talking about.  Posted a question on Twitter we will see what comes up (do I have to invent everything? :) )

[Aside... I did find an interesting article about ontologies while searching for ONSciD on what makes them useful.]
