Rather than having a single property for "exoplanets discovered" on the Astronomical Discovery type, I think this should have a single property for "astronomical objects discovered". I propose that we reciprocate the incoming property from Astronomical Discovery ("discovery site") and merge it with the exoplanets property (and therefore make all exoplanets also instances of Astronomical Discovery).
-
Cross-posting to Exoplanetology, since this change would potentially affect saved views.
-
Sounds good to me.
-
Bump. I'm opening a task to migrate the exoplanet discovery data to the astronomical discovery type. Metapsyche, this will mean that the property /schema/base/exoplanetology/exoplanet/discovery_site is no longer reciprocated. (The same assertion of discovery will still be there, but it will be handled via a property on the Astronomical Discovery type.)
If you'd like, we could refactor all the various discovery properties on Exoplanet to the corresponding Astronomical Discovery properties while we're at it.
-
Ok. Cool. Sounds good. And yes please refactor all the various discovery properties on Exoplanet to the corresponding Astronomical Discovery properties, if possible. Thanks!
-
Will do: DA-1085.
Can you add Astronomical Discovery as an included type of Exoplanet? We'll add the Discovery type to all current instances as part of the migration, but it should be an included type so all future instances will have it as well.
Also, if you have any views based on these six properties, you'll have to re-create them after the migration.
-
Done, astronomical discovery is now an included type.
-
Now that exoplanets are also instances of Astronomical Discovery, what will we do with the duplicate properties (such as Discoverer, Discovery Date, Status, etc, etc) ? Can we "merge" those properties and retain data that has been put in them so far? I don't mind recreating the views after this change. Thank you.
-
There's an open JIRA task to do exactly that data merge: DA-1085. Just needs someone to act on it :-)
-
Ok. Now that Google owns Freebase, can we ask Sergey Brin to please work on that DA-1085 ticket now?
-
:)
-
We're still playing catch-up with some of our migration tasks, but I'll bump it up the queue. Sorry for the long wait on this one!
-
Hey, no rush. I was just kidding. My html-tagged giggle didn't show up, which explains the smiley follow-up. Thank you for the reply.
