[ ] ROR and ORCID(s) are included and linked properly where applicable
[ ] For datasets where DFO is a partner, ensure 'parent' ROR is added (https://ror.org/02qa1x782). DFO 'child' organizations (i.e. CHS) and their ROR are optional.
[ ] Include Hakai Institute as Publisher and include data@hakai.org as email
[ ] Make sure email address is provided if the role is 'Metadata Custodian' or 'Point of Contact'
[ ] Add contact affiliation where known including ROR
[ ] If resource is (partially) generated by Hakai researchers, include 'Tula Foundation' (with associated ROR) with 'Funder' role. Be sure to uncheck 'include in citation' for Tula Foundation.
Resources
[ ] Resource links go to specific dataset download (not generic platform like waterproperties.ca)
[ ] Readme, changelog, data dictionary, protocols included in data-package (for tabular text based data)
