Reorganize and add topic keywords

Open kelle opened this issue 7 years ago • 6 comments

Reorganize and publish list of keywords. Reorganize = separate out science topics vs coding topics. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JmOF82Zmrs397wLwAmmL1rgDSsvP6Z4fLMr0hV5ZIb4/edit#gid=1529571570

Also make sure keywords are in the UAT. (http://astrothesaurus.org/thesaurus/alphabetical-browse/ and http://astrothesaurus.org/thesaurus/autocomplete-widget/).

I see three major categories, but I don't know the best names for them. Here are some examples:

  • Category 1 (package): astroquery, obsplan, matplotlib, scipy
  • Category 2 (function): contour plots, histogram, errorbars, fitting
  • Category 3 (science): radio, xray, physics, dynamics

One question is whether or not to divide up astropy project packages from the rest. I lean towards yes. So maybe: "Python Package" and "Astropy Package"?

I've added a Keyword Table tab here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JmOF82Zmrs397wLwAmmL1rgDSsvP6Z4fLMr0hV5ZIb4/edit#gid=953884002

Here's what it looks like but please edit/comment on the google doc.

as keywords get updated, the website needs to be updated by hand: https://github.com/astropy/astropy-tutorials/blob/master/tutorials/themes/tutorials-theme/tutorialfilters.html

Should we consider having a separate keyword category for visualization? This category would include the currently used keywords: scatter plot, contour plot, error bars, color bar, and histogram.

@stephtdouglas and I have made lots of progress on the keywords during PyAstro19! One area we didn't touch much was the Companion Content keywords. They still need attention.

Things still left to do:

  • [ ] companion content
  • [ ] decide on order of keywords and reorder. Alphabetical or by decreasing use.
  • [ ] add number of uses to each keyword. (eg., coordinates (5))
  • [ ] add viz category?
  • [ ] get rid of file input/output?
