Intake Take2
Taking the pain out of data access and distribution
Intake is an open-source package to:
describe your data declaratively
gather data sets into catalogs
search catalogs and services to find the right data you need
load, transform and output data in many formats
work with third party remote storage and compute platforms
This is the start of the documentation for the alpha version of Intake: Take2, arewrite of Intake (henceforth referred to as legacy or V1). We will give anintroduction to the ideas of Intake in general and specifically how to use thisrelease. Go directly to the walkthrough and examples, or read the following motivationand declarations of scope.
Note
We are making Take2 as a full release. It is still “beta” in the sense that we will be addingmany data types, readers and transformers, and are prepared to revisit the API in general. Thereason not to use a pre-release or RC, is that users never see these.
Warning
Looking forRelationship to V1 documentation? You may have just installed Intake and found thatTake2 broke things for you, so you might wish to pin to an older version. Or stick aroundand find out why you might wish to update your code. All old “sources”, whether still workingor not, should be considered deprecated.
