Data Hub Feedback

In August of 2011, we released the new Data Hub feature. In order to gather feedback from users, we created a survey. From mid-November 2011 through mid-January 2012, we provided a link from the hgHubConnect CGI on the RR to that survey. 22 users answered. Their answers are in this file: File:DataHubSurvey2011.pdf.

How to work with the 'versioned' track hub settings

What these mean for engineers:

-> When you add a new setting, you will need to set it to 'level-new'.

Next time the doc is versioned, we will evaluate the new settings for assignment to a level.

-> After adding a setting to the doc, you will need to run 'hubCheck -settings' to see if your addition is formatted correctly.

To list all v1 settings (with levels) on genome-test, run

hubCheck -settings -test

The README.txt in the trackDb docs dir (and below) has been extended to include these steps. The new bits are in item #3.

$ cat ~kent/src/hg/htdocs/goldenPath/help/trackDb/README.txt

To add a new statement to the trackDb documentation:

1. Add your statement documentation to trackDbLibrary.shtml

2. Add references to your statement to trackDbDoc.html

3. If intended for hubs:
* Add to the latest trackDbHub doc (e.g. trackDbHub.v1.html), with support level 'new'.
(see intro of the doc for explanation of support levels).
* Use hubCheck to verify the doc entry is properly formatted:
% make
% hubCheck -settings \
-version=http://hgwdev-<user>/goldenPath/help/trackDb/trackDbHub.v1.html
OR
% make alpha
% hubCheck -settings -test
