InterSystems Open Exchange

Topic and Rules

Present a repository that will load a dataset into the InterSystems IRIS namespace.

This could be done ideally with a ZPM package, and the data can be inside the package, or the package can have a method that loads data from the URL into the IRIS instance. Anyways your project, once installed, should bring a class (classes) and its data for it that are related to a particular topic, subject area, idea, industry, name it.

The project should suggest how to use data - SQL query, REST API, or both.

Visualization of the data is a plus. Both visualization and API (if any) can be delivered with another project, but it’s not mandatory.

We don’t limit you in the ways, how the data can be stored in the repository. E.g., this could be:

Export of the global(-s) (preferably in XML than in GOF format).
An SQL script that creates data
An ObjectScript (or java, js, python, name it) that generates data in IRIS
Integration with external Data API

Here are the project examples, that deliver the thing:

Requirements:

Class naming convention. Start the class names with: dc.data.your_name.class. E.g. if there is a dataset on trading data the class names could be: dc.data.finance.transaction, dc.data.finance.instrument.
The reference to the source of data. If you take the dataset from somewhere on the Internet and just adapt it to InterSystems IRIS format please provide the link to the source. If this is your data please provide the license of the usage.
The ZPM package should start with a“dataset-” name, e.g. dataset-countries, dataset-titanic.
And as usual, we’ll have technical bonuses for docker, demo, article, zpm, video, etc.
Provide the license to a dataset.
