Description

Please provide more complete documentation on how the XML file for task uploads should look like. The example https://www.openml.org/api/v1/xml_example/task is okay, but the spec https://www.openml.org/api/v1/xsd/openml.task.upload cannot act as a definition. Also, the role of the evaluation_measures field remains unclear.

Task upload is important. If you expect people to upload data, then they also need to define a default task for the data. Therefore, please fix.

Research direction

Start by comparing the XML example at https://www.openml.org/api/v1/xml_example/task with the schema at https://www.openml.org/api/v1/xsd/openml.task.upload. Document the expected task-upload XML, explain the role of evaluation_measures, and clarify how a default task should be defined; the documentation is done when these upload requirements are unambiguous.
