Overview

Welcome to Delta-E Docs! This documentation repository is designed to support the research projects of Delta E+ members. Its primary purpose is to provide a convenient way to search for and reuse previously used datasets in Delta E+ projects. By centralizing dataset information, researchers working on similar topics can easily locate and access relevant datasets.

The success of this repository depends on the active involvement of Delta E+ members in maintaining and continuously adding datasets. Whenever a researcher discovers and utilizes a dataset for their project, it is expected that they contribute to the repository by filling out the appropriate form and adding the dataset information to Read the Docs.

Target user group

Delta-E is intended for researchers, planners and investigators who need a fast, easy-to-use tool for creating scripts for data sets.

The Delta-E workflow is divided into two sub workflows to best serve our everchanging community of researchers, planners and investigators:

Developer Workflow

A developer is a user who wants to add or modify a dataset in this repository. This requires reading the contributing guide, knowing all details of the dataset to add, and understanding the use cases of the dataset.

Researcher Workflow

A researcher is a user who wants to use a dataset in this repository. This includes searching for the dataset and automatically pulling the data into your scripts through installing the python package delta-e-utils .

Dependencies

Delta-E is written and tested to be compatible with Python 3.6 and above.
