Datasets

Datasets and their lifecycle is the core of the Sixpack platform.

Once a dataset is requested by a user it gets to the dataset table that is either accessible next to the catalogue or on a separate page.

Clicking on a dataset will display a detail page showing mainly what inputs were specified when ordering the dataset and what are the outputs.

Datasets can have various statuses. The main ones are:

  • FULFILLED - the dataset has been generated and reference data (outputs) are available
  • REQUESTED - An adhoc request has been sent to the generator
  • AWAITED - A request to generate a similar dataset has been sent to the generated previously and has been reserved for the user

There are many other mainly error statuses that would indicate situations like the item has been discontinued exactly at the moment when the user requested the item, and similar edge cases.
