From 4afc86e68be37bb5bbd2ee0e609cb90eb11a99be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mohammad Akhlaghi Date: Sat, 12 Nov 2022 19:15:27 +0100 Subject: index.html: more clear explanation of Maneage nature Until now, the exact nature of Maneage wasn't properly explained in the top page. Richard Stallman raised some good points to help clarify this: in particular that it is a "program" (allowing download and offline running, not "service"). With this commit, based his suggestions, the first two paragraphs have been edited to further clarify this point. --- index.html | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/index.html b/index.html index d2e6e31..9d619d3 100644 --- a/index.html +++ b/index.html @@ -74,14 +74,15 @@

Managing Data Lineage

Maneage is a customizable workflow controller program (implemented in GNU Make), providing low-level control over a project's data lineage and the version controlled history of the data lineage (implemented in Git). Data lineage or data provenance refer to keeping track of how data evolves within a project. For example the process of converting raw data from external data bases to a final plot in the published paper/report (this usually involves many different analysis steps and depends on many software packages). - Therefore Maneage is used for producing a reproducible result (which is a critical issue in modern scientific data analysis). - The name "Maneage" is a portmanteau; created by merging the first three characters of "manage" with the last four characters of "lineage".

Maneage is free software and released under GNU GPL v3+. - To learn more about its founding criteria and a basic introduction, see Akhlaghi et al. (2021), published in CiSE (Gold Open Access), also available in arXiv:2006.03018 (with extended appendix in one PDF). + An important principle of Maneage is that it is a "program" (you download a copy of it and install it on your own machine and use your own copy). + To learn more about its founding criteria and a basic introduction, see Akhlaghi et al. (CiSE 2021, vol 23, issue 3, pp 82-91), also available as arXiv:2006.03018 (with extended appendix in one PDF: the recommended format). Maneage is a recipient of the RDA Europe Adoption grant and was featured in a Nature Astronomy "News and Views" article (Kuttel 2021, free-to-read link).
