Data File

DEPRECATED: Please see Data File entry for CSBC/PSON below with the rest of the portals.

This describes the 'Explore Data' table.

This is not a card, but an explore table.

Table driving this: https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn21346411/tables/

Previously used a file view to drive Explore Data: https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn9630847/tables/

The following is a brief description of the relevant columns in the table below (by column header):

portal name: name as it should appear in data portal

synapse file view column: corresponding name (e.g., for SQL query) in Synapse table view

facet: true if column_name should be faceted in data portal.

desired for CSBC/PS-ON: should this column be included in the CSBC data portal

The following annotations do not exist on file: theme

The following annotations need to be "ported" to GDC: Data Category (currently use existing "assay", but eventually use "data_category"); 

The following have been added to the synapse table, but are blank. They need to be filled in:
