Tale Structure¶
This section describes the structure of a tale. Tales consist of the following elements:
Environment
Workspace
External data
Versions and Runs
Metadata
Environment¶
A tale environment consists of:
The selected interactive environment (e.g., RStudio, JupyerLab, MATLAB, STATA). These relate to a repo2docker buildpack and default command used to start the interactive environment.
repo2docker configuration files specifying software dependencies
The container image built from the above stored in the container registry.
Workspace¶
The tale workspace is the primary folder containing your code, data, documentation – anything required to reproduce your computational workflow.
External data¶
A read-only folder containing externally referenced data that has been registered with Whole Tale.
Versions and Runs¶
The Saved Versions (versions) and Recorded Runs (runs) folders provide read-only access to versions and recorded runs.
Metadata¶
Tale metadata contains additional information about your tale including title, authors, description, keywords, license, and citations/references.
