Submission guide (how to contribute entries)

Prefer the interactive workflow? Start at the Submit an entry page — it generates schema-valid Markdown and can open a pull request.

Scope

Today the catalog welcomes datasets, software or tools, pre-trained models, and competitions. You do not need to be an author of the artifact you suggest; additions that help the community discover useful resources are appreciated.

Edit small mistakes (typos, broken links) directly on GitHub with the pencil icon on Markdown source files when available, or open an issue for anything unsure.

Dataset hosting on Zenodo

We do not host dataset blobs in this GitHub Pages repository — use archival hosting with versioning and checksums instead. Zenodo is strongly recommended for free long-term archival, versioning, mirroring integrations, DOIs and large uploads. Deposit into the IAPR Technical Committee 11 community when publishing so curators can find related objects easily.

New upload to Zenodo (IAPR-TC11 community)

Three ways to submit

1. Pull request (fastest, needs Git/GitHub familiarity)

1. Fork https://github.com/TC101-demo/TC101-demo.github.io.
2. Add your entry as src/content/{datasets|software|models|competitions}/your-slug.md with YAML front matter that matches schemas/ (dataset.schema.json, software.schema.json, …).
3. Optionally add thumbnails under images/ — match the thumbnail path in front matter so it resolves from the site root.
4. Open a PR against master.

Starter template (Markdown download):

/submission_templates/new_dataset.md.tpl

Or use [Submit](/submit/) — it emits the correct layout and validates against schemas in the browser.

2. GitHub issue (fast, curated merge)

Templates include New dataset. Attach the thumbnail somewhere the curators can fetch it (Zenodo supplementary file or a temporary link clearly labeled).

3. Email curators (simple, slower turnaround)

Email tc101-demo(at)googlegroups.com with subject line like New dataset submission {dataset name}, attaching:

1. Completed Markdown (UTF-8) for the entry (myDataset_1.md).
2. A representative thumbnail image.

Expect up to roughly a week depending on curator availability.
