Document different tiers of data/metadata needed/wanted #16

Open albenson-usgs opened 4 years ago

albenson-usgs commented 4 years ago

During our December call, we discussed metadata. OBIS (and GBIF) use EML metadata for their datasets. While extensive metadata is always best, sometimes this can prevent data from being shared because the task of documenting the metadata becomes too daunting. We need documentation that lays out what is required, what is really good to have, and what is nice to have if there is time. Similarly we need this for the data and the associated Darwin Core fields.

I've added a dummy tier-0 dataset and added a md to our docs along with a linked google slides presentation.

I am wondering if these tiers should be treated like "certifications". Every dataset will be tier-0 certified, but higher tiers might break out into specific focuses. For example, a dataset could be tier-1-spatial-uncertainty certified, tier-1-event certified, and tier-2-fish certified. The domain specificity makes this hard to break out beyond tier-0.

Need to list generic tier-1 add-ons to the bare minimum

TODO: compile the terms into a table similar to the recomendations provided by gbif: https://www.gbif.org/data-quality-requirements-occurrences but we should also add a column for rationale for why "strongly recommended"

additional strongly recommended:

I have created a gsheet documenting GBIF, OBIS recommendations/requirments alongside tier-levels, notes, and tags for occurrence-level terms:

@albenson-usgs (& others) : please take a look, let me know what you think, and add anything I missed.

@7yl4r I know this is from awhile ago. Seems like it's similar to this. Wondering if we addressed this all fully in the workshop documentation? Maybe this ticket can be closed? Or do we need to move the right parts into the GitHub repo or the bio data guide?

7yl4r commented 2 years ago

That table looks good. Is that table in the OBIS manual? Should it be? Should we include it in our guide book here?
