Branch Metadata

If you want to describe each branch in detail, you can create a set of tablets for the "branch" branch.

# .csvs.csv
csvs,0.0.2

# _-_.csv
event,date
event,name
branch,description

# branch-description.csv
event,something that happened
date,something happened at this time
name,something happened to this person

# event-date.csv
visited Japan,2001-01-01
climbed Everest,2003-03-03

# event-name.csv
visited Japan,Donell
climbed Everest,Eva

By default, a csvs dataset represents lists of objects of strings. You can define custom value types based on details about each branch. For example, define a tablet called branch-datatype.csv and specify an age branch with type number. Just make sure to check that age values are really numbers.

# .csvs.csv
csvs,0.0.2

# _-_.csv
event,date
event,name
name,age
branch,datatype

# branch-datatype.csv
age,number

# event-date.csv
visited Japan,2001-01-01
climbed Everest,2003-03-03

# event-name.csv
visited Japan,Donell
climbed Everest,Eva

# name-age.csv
Donell,35
Eva,70
