Description

@datapythonista

This issue supersedes #1 and #14. As agreed in 6 Aug call the first milestone in the definition of the dataframe API will be the part to interchange data. As an sample use case, Matplotlib being able to receive dataframes from different implementations (e.g. pandas, vaex, modin, cudf, etc.).

This work was originally discussed in OSSData, and an initial draft was later proposed here: wesm/dataframe-protocol#1.

The topics to discuss and decide on are next:

The procedure to include this part on the standard RFC will be as follows:

  1. Define the goals, requirements, target audience, scope and use cases, and include them in the RFC
  2. Discuss and build an standalone document specific to the data interchange based on the above topics
  3. Review internally, and post publicly for additional feedback
  4. Update the prototype with the agreed API
  5. Finalize and approve the API and the prototype, and add them to the RFC document
