DANDI Handbook

Handbook for interacting with the DANDI archive.

DANDI Style Guidelines

Follow the guidelines below when creating and revising text in the DANDI Handbook:

  • dandi- repositories — hyphenate the names of DANDI GitHub repositories (e.g. dandi-archive); "Dandisets" is an exception because it is a complete word
  • Dandiset — use single, unformatted, capitalized word (not dandiset or Dandiset)
  • file names — use lower case (e.g. development.md)
  • headings — use Title Capitalization (for 1st and 2nd levels) and follow with an intro sentence
  • GitHub — use camel case (not github or Github)
  • instructional language — should be direct, imperative, active, straightforward (e.g. "Install the files in your Python environment", not "Files could be installed in your Python environment")
  • JupyterHub — use camel case (not Jupyterhub)
  • license (not licence); in general, prefer American spelling
  • limited use of "please"
  • steps should start with 1, not 0
