WEEK 11 · DATASET ENGINEERING AND THE REPORTING FINDING

Do one thing.
Then you are ahead.

Anyone who has merged two companies' ERP systems knows the pain: one reports revenue in thousands, the other in units; one calls a customer "Bioceres S.A.", the other "BIOCERES". Data engineering is 80% of a merger and 80% of a dataset. This week FermLit gets its merger treatment: units normalised (g/L vs mg/L), organism names mapped to NCBI taxonomy IDs (so "Y. lipolytica" and "Yarrowia lipolytica Po1f" become the …

If you only do one thing this week: normalized dataset export
