The group noticed the significant overlap between different sections, and thought about ways to reorganize them. no conclusions yet. Possible changes to organization include
Three major sections:
EML metadata
Raw Data package design
2.1. Genomics data
2.2. Image data
2.3. Model in/output
2.4. Code/scripts/software as data
2.5. Non-tabular geospatial data
2.6. Video
General recommendation for all (most) datasets
3.1. Dates
3.2. Geographic coordinates: lats/long decimals (projection)
3.3. Taxa
Other considerations:
Harmonized/derived data product design
climDB
ecocomDP
Distinction between datasets used for synthesis efforts (e.g., EcoComDP, ClimHydro DB), where format of the data is important, vs. regular datasets
Citation use case: a web link that lasts 6 years. Eg, the duration of an LTER site grant, so a reviewer can see that you did what you said you were going to do.
Some of the recommendations in (community_surveys) apply to other types of data too. They should be generalized.
Consider a Letter or brief item to Ecological Bulletin when we have something ready.
