v29 v30 118 118 119 119 - A repository or other source that has its own data format that does not match ours. 120 A means of mapping from the source's schema to ours will be needed.121 It is likely, for an existing source, that we will produce the schema mapping.122 Would want to detect schema changes, or get notification of them.123 120 124 - A user who wants to upload data, and is willing to format it to our specification .125 In this case the data can be processed without a schema mapping.121 - A user who wants to upload data, and is willing to format it to our specification, 122 i.e. use our table and column names. 126 123 127 124 ==== Data structure uses cases: ==== … … 175 172 - Any combination of the above. 176 173 174 === Schema mapping === 177 175 176 - If the source has a schema that does not match ours, a means of mapping from the 177 source's schema to ours will be needed, or will have to be inferred. 178 (It is likely, for an existing major source, that we would write the schema mapping. 179 For such a source, if we were receiving updates from them regularly, we would want 180 to detect schema changes, or get notification of them. But for a source we draw 181 on regularly, there may be better means of pulling data than CSV files...) 182 183 - If the data uses our formatting, we don't need a schema mapping -- we just need 184 to be told it's our formatting. 178 185 179 186
