Develop an internal platform for navigating the Pacific salmon data landscape #62

Open AnnaD-M opened 2 months ago

AnnaD-M commented 2 months ago

Inspired by feedback from Cory Lagasse: "One of the key outcomes that I’d really like to see come out of this work is a straightforward, comprehensive document internal to DFO staff explaining the current landscape of data repositories, inventories and data sets related to salmon. It’s crazy to me how difficult it is to make sense of the data landscape for Pacific salmon in BC, and there is just no comprehensive documentation of where to find DFO data sets. Could we develop something like the groundfish website? Granted this is a bit dated now, but still a really useful resource. Salmon data is much more complex and decentralized, but it should still be possible to explain what’s out there, even if it’s in several different places."

Project idea to develop an ArcGIS StoryMap to 'tell the story' of the data landscape for Pacific salmon. Different tab/page for each major database (e.g., FOS, E-Pro, Creel), background, ERDs (if available), links to supporting documentation, how to access and who to contact. Use of ArcGIS would bypass the need to go through CDOS but must determine if StoryMap access can be restricted to those on DFO server...

@alburycatalina maybe this is one of the useful things we could think about building on the DSU website using Quarto? This would allow us to make it public. Probably not an immediate priority but just wanted to note it.
