  • Format – what format is this source in? What format does it need to be in? What do you need to do to get it there?
    • This source is currently formatted as a Google sheet. There are some inconsistencies with school names in the sheet (ex. Bethel vs Bethel University). These are being fixed using R. Eventually, it needs to be a CSV file, which we can obtain easily by downloading the Google sheet in this format.
  • Rights – who owns this material? What are you allowed to use? How do you know?
    • This data is owned by the Carleton Sports Information Office. It is available by request, and we are allowed to use everything in the files.
  • Privacy/ethics – Who is depicted in this data? How? Is there sensitive information that needs to be removed? Any other ethical considerations?
    • No one is directly depicted in the data, but the Carleton football team members are indirectly depicted in terms of their history. Since no one is mentioned by name, there are no ties between individuals and the record. Because of this, there is no information that needs to be removed. Additionally, there are no ethical considerations that need to be taken into account.

Here is a link to the spreadsheet we are using.
