Project Name: B. C. D. ? Bhangra Circuit Database (Tentative Name)
I am still looking for better and more badass acronyms.
Description: Essentially, I am making a database and I need your opinions. Imagine a database that will take three main components in the following hierarchical order:
1. Competitions
2. Teams
3. Dancers
I have the end-product in mind as I design this. I will program the database so that it can easily and store data. Secondary programs will allow SEARCH functions. Imagine being able to search for competitions that have been in Michigan in the past, or all the teams who placed first in the last year or the names of the people on independent teams who placed at Bhangra Fusion competition in the last 3 years. Baller? Yes, I know. ;D
With my database, you can rank competitions whatever manner you want and apply a point system to these competitions and the teams that placed. You can have your version of the rankings of the top bhangra teams in whatever way you want. All I provide is the means.
After the major coding is complete, I will need input of data from all of you. Simple information like your team basic information, where they competed in the past, who competed on your team with you?etc. Things that will take a maximum of 5 minutes and will help make the Bhangra Circuit a recorded event. Websites like DesiDanceTeams and even BTF to a degree simply have you know where teams competed and maybe who is part of the teams. This has an emphasis on data manipulation.
Goals:
1. Data is efficiently stored.
2. Data is easily read.
3. Create methods and classes for secondary programs for SEARCH functions.
Database Criteria:
Competition Information
Name (ie: Boston Bhangra Competition)
Sub-Names (ie: BBC)
Location (ie: Boston, MA)
Producer (ie: Boston Bhangra, Inc)
Competition Date (ie: 11/15/08)
Teams Competiting along with Placings (Multiple Placings for 1st, 2nd, 3d for ties and competitions with modern/traditional or live/recorded placings)
Team Information
Name (ie: Spartan Bhangra)
Sub-Names (ie: CWRU Bhangra, Case Bhangra, SB)
Type (ie: University)
Affiliation (ie: Case Western Reserve University)
Location (ie: Cleveland, OH)
Dancer Information
Name (ie: Kinnell Shah)
Hometown (ie: Northborough, MA)
Don?t worry about programming things like two people with the same name. I have things like that covered. Data input will not have to be comprehensive. You will have the ability to simply enter your name, your team name and 1 competition that you competed in and it will entire that into the database. The more input from various sources means the more complete the database becomes
What do I want from you guys right now?
1. OPINION: What do you HONESTLY think of this?
2. BETTER NAME: Better name for this project.
3. SUGGESTIONS: What values should be added to the database? What other things do you want to see?
4. ETHICS: Do you think this task is ethical? You can take the name ?Shanjeet Gill? and find out where he is from, what competitions he competed in, for what teams and how big of a loser he is.
