The repo contains assets, obj files, json files, scripts, Chrono models, etc., needed to reproduce results reported in papers, tech reports, presentations, etc.
This repo is organized by year of when the metadata was first added to the repo. Each year shows as a folder in this repo.
-
Subfolders are meant to contain information associated with a certain paper, tech report, thesis, etc. Feel free to use subfolders in subfolders.
-
The naming convention is as follows:
- If it's a technical report you are dealing with, then call the sub-folder TR-2023-04
- If it's a paper, then call the subfolder, for instance, Unjhawala-IEEE-LibraryOfROM-vehicles. In other words, last name of first author, the journal (or conference where published), and a couple of words tied to the title or topic of the paper
- If it's a thesis, then call the subfolder, for instance, Elmquist-PhD. In other words, last name of the person who defended the thesis, and the type of thesis. It can be PhD, MS, or IndepThesis
-
Please include a readme.md file in the high level subfolder to describe the content of the directroy along with where the material was used (which paper/tech report/etc.).
-
Important: If the metadata is meant to be used in conjunction with Chrono, please provide a commit ID/SHA1 - hash value that the results reported in your paper/tech report/etc. were generated with
-
Please avoid dropping large files here, particularly so if they're non-ascii. For large files that are available elsewhere, provide a link (in your readme.md) that can be used to download the file. This applies, for instance, to large pics, movies, etc.
-
When adding data, scripts, assets, models, etc., please take the long view. The metadata that you provide will likely be used for years to come.
-
For SBEL members, a style issue: When referencing in your manuscript this metadata repo, say for TR-2020-02, please define in SBEL's BibFiles repo, under refsSBELspecific.bib, an entry like this:
@misc{TR-2020-02metadata,
author = {Hu, Wei and Serban, Radu and Negrut, Dan},
title = {{TR-2020-02 Public Metadata}},
note = {{Simulation-Based Engineering Laboratory, University of Wisconsin-Madison}},
year = {2020},
howpublished = {\url{https://github.com/uwsbel/public-metadata/tree/master/2020/TR-2020-02}}
}
To maintain consistency, please copy/paste/edit the sample above to fit your needs when dropping in refsSBELspecific.bib.
