Nextstrain - nextstrain

Grade
The grade for the resource as automatically determined by the criteria violations.
Cannot be determined with current information
Description
A full description of the resource from the resource itself, if possible.
Nextstrain is an open-source project to harness the scientific and public health potential of pathogen genome data. We provide a continually-updated view of publicly available data with powerful analytics and visualizations showing pathogen evolution and epidemic spread. Our goal is to aid epidemiological understanding and improve outbreak response.
Last curated
(Optional) The ISO 8601 date of when the resource was last curated.
Unknown
Location
URL for the resource.
http://www.nextstrain.org
Source type
(Optional) How the resource relates to the data it contains. Current allowable entries are: "unknown", "repository", "source", "integrator", and "warehouse".
TBD
Curation status
Whether or not annotation is complete on this resource. Current allowable entries are: "complete", "incomplete", and "nonpublic".
nonpublic
Field
The area of research for the resource.
biology
Type
The type of data the resource contains.
genomic resource
Categories
(Optional) Tags to describe the resource and its data.
viral phylogeny
virus evolution
Access
(Optional) Links to the resource's data.
None
License
The license that is used by the resource. We use SPDX where we can or: "inconsistent", "public domain", "unlicensed", "all rights reserved", or "custom".
unlicensed
License type
The type of license that is being used. This will be to define compatible data pools in the future; we only use the grossest terms now. If it is not known "unknown" is used. Current possible values are: "unknown", "unlicensed", "copyleft", "permissive", "public domain", "copyright", "restrictive", or "private pool".
copyright
License location
(Optional) The link to the resource license.
TODO
Focused curation
(Optional) Setting this flag to true indicates that the licensing was combinatorially complicated enough (as is the case in some commercial licenses) that the curator chose to wear a single "hat" during the process. From the site text: "While we try to cover as much of the licensing possibilities of a data resource that we can, in a few cases we may choose a particular "hat" to wear while evaluating to prevent a combinatorial explosion, which may also reduce the clarity of our curations for the community. In these cases, we may take on the role of a (1) non-commercial (2) academic (3) group that is (4) based in the US and trying to (5) create an aggregating resource, noting that other entities may have different results in the license commentary."
false
Issues
(Optional) Structured issues with the license. For every issue discovered with a resource, there should be a corresponding item in the license-issues field that marks the /exact/ violation, along with any comments. This field can be used by resources as the first step to improvement, as well as clarify any surrounding circumstances. Any issues or thoughts about a resource that do not slot into one of the criteria violations can go into the license-commentary field.
Criteria A.1.2: Could not find any clear terms on any searched pages. See commentary.
Commentary
(Optional) Further commentary on the license, possibly including the though process of the curations and things like locations of additional licenses.
• This is apparently not a public data resource: it is consuming open science, but producing nothing for downstream. I have checked the three non-application pages and there is no data, downloads, or copyright beyond software: /, /about, and /methods.
• From the site: This work is made possible by the open sharing of genetic data by research groups from all over the world. We gratefully acknowledge their contributions.
Controversial
(Optional) Marker noting that there was some extended internal discussion or controversy about the evaluation of the licensing terms. If this is marked at "true", the controversy, or a link to a permanent archive of the controversy, must be sufficiently contained in the "license-commentary" to reconstruct the issues.
false
Contacts
(Optional) Resource contact information, link, email, or whatever is public.

Grants
(Optional) Semi-structured list of supporting grants.
