[Bioc-devel] Package Classifications via BiocViews

[Hervé Pagès]

Hi Burak,

Based on your description of what the package does, this is really a 
software package in nature, so is in the wrong repository. We need to 
fix this.

In 4 steps:

1. Please remove the ExperimentData term from the biocViews field as 
well as any term that belongs to the ExperimentData ontology, that is: 
DiseaseModel, OrganismData, Homo_sapiens_Data, Mus_musculus_Data, 
Rattus_norvegicus_Data, TechnologyData, MicroarrayData, SequencingData, 
and RNASeqData. Yep, most of your terms will go away.

2. Add the Software term, in first position. You're welcome to add new 
terms if you want, from the following vocabulary: 
https://github.com/Bioconductor/biocViews/blob/master/inst/dot/biocViewsVocab.dot. 
Please make sure to pick terms that belong to the Software ontology 
(i.e. are offsprings of the Software term).

3. Bump the package version (only the z part in x.y.z), and push your 
changes to git.bioconductor.org.

4. Let us know when you're done. We'll make the required adjustments on 
our side.

Thanks,

H.
