#14Can I ask, why JSON, and why one file?
I'm interested because I'm currently slowly working on an Open Source tool for this use case - community data sets in Git. However I think it's better to have one file per entry. (Easier to edit, much less chances of merge conflicts.) Also while it's currently based a lot round JSON (so we can leverage several useful existing tools like JSON Schema) I'd like to add a YML/TOML/MD-with-meta-data option later as I think that's easier for humans to read and edit (and also because I've already seen several Git repos that follow this format).

I wanted it to be easy to copy and share and since I didn't think curation should add anything that fits the bill, using a single file would limit the number of items people would add to their curation. JSON also has a small limitation in the fields that it cannot have multiline strings which was originally supposed to force to shorten the description.
But yeah you are probably right, I will do something to migrate it later into a directory of files.

It's a good question. I wanted it to be easy to copy and share and since I didn't think curation should add anything that fits the bill, using a single file would limit the number of items people would add to their curation.

For future reference, https://github.com/DataTig/DataTig - but, er, I haven't written any documentation yet.
You can ping me on an issue there or reply to this comment.
> limit the number of items people would add to their curation
Interesting. I suspect there is a natural limit anyway to how much data one person could curate, given the demands to keep it up to date. It would be interesting to see what a tools UI would encourage/discourage here.
> supposed to force to shorten the description
JSON Schema can set text length limits.

#17I have an idea of making something like "read next" on medium or openring[1] as a service. It's in a very early stage right now, but if you run a personal blog - ping me(info in the profile) I would like to ask a few questions ;)
