  - make
```
DataProject make(java.lang.String... path)
```
    Make a DataProject and configure it.
    
    Parameters:
    
    path - The path that represents the DataProject. If the project is simply for use outside the DataService, the path value can be null. If the path is to be used in a load call, it needs to start with the service identifier and then a path suitable for that service. Path fragments are assumed to be separated by the unix separator (/) regardless of platform. If fragments are provided, the DataService will normalise the path before creating the DataProject.
    
    Returns:
    
    The made DataProject
  - load
```
DataProject load(DataProject data)

    Parameters:
    
    data - The DataProject to load.
    
    Returns:
    
    A loaded DataProject. The returned object will NOT be the same instance that was provided in the call.
    
    Throws:
    
    DataException - if the load fails, or the data is invalid.
