What might #SHAPE mean in practice?
S — Stage: split processing into explicit, understandable steps
H — Handover: make transitions between tools, formats, and stages clear
A — Automate: make repeatable steps executable and reproducible
P — Preserve: retain provenance, parameters, context, and relevant intermediate states
E — Evaluate: check transformations and results throughout the workflow
Not a rigid sequence, but a set of principles for designing better data-processing workflows.
