Git repos structure - grambank/grambank GitHub Wiki

Within the Grambank project we have several Git repositories. Below is a list of of them, for internal and external use. Not all are public, private ones are only accessible to specific collaborators.

Data locations

• grambank/grambank - location of published CLDF-releases of Grambank and blank sheet for coders
  • glottobank/grambank-cldf - old location for grambank cldf releases, now archived.
• grambank/grambank.wiki - wiki with documentation (linked to grambank/grambank)

R and python software development

• grambank/pygrambank - python module for grambank quality sanity checks of submitted coding sheets and other tasks

Non-public internal reposes for project organisation

• glottobank/Grambank - the everyday raw dataset coders work with continuously (NOT PUBLIC)
• glottobank/about - general repos for glottobank things, including the paper-captains-document (NOT PUBLIC)
• glottobank/ELDP-glottobank - repos for coordinating coding associated with the Glottobank - ELDP small grants.

Notes

Please note that Grambank is still actively growing. We're going to make further versions, and we have a to do-list for new languages and for quality control. A language you're looking for might already be in our to do-list or is already included in future releases. Please check with us before coding a new language or revising coding so that we can avoid double work.

Go here for guidelines on fetching Grambank data for analysis in research projects.

For collaborators, check the directory called "original sheets" in glottobank/Grambank for current raw coverage and check the to do-list for what is on its way in.
