Do we want to reorganize the content in this book? #89

Closed MathewBiddle closed 2 years ago

MathewBiddle commented 2 years ago

Do folks who are new to working with DwC find the organization of this book at the right level? Should we try to reorganize the content into a workflow or is the way it's organized sufficient?

@emiliom you may have some thoughts?

albenson-usgs commented 2 years ago

Wondering if we should have this as a topic for the February SMBD meeting. Seems like it could use some discussion.

emiliom commented 2 years ago

I like @albenson-usgs 's suggestion. And BTW, I do have thoughts on how useful this guide is / isn't in its current form.

MathewBiddle commented 2 years ago

Fantastic, lets push it to February.

I think either linking to or copying some of the content from https://ioos.github.io/bio_mobilization_workshop/01-introduction/index.html would be nice.

MathewBiddle commented 2 years ago

Thinking about the applications section a little more. I proposed that we should have examples of different categories of data/observation types. For example:

[x] Net collection (sample/sub-sample) @timvdstap
[x] eDNA extension, which we have an example of at iobis. Just link to it here?
[ ] IFCB images @sbeaulieu
[ ] passive acoustic @albenson-usgs mentioned some conversations have started.
[ ] Others?

This wouldn't be an exhaustive collection, but examples of the more common (or emerging) types.

timvdstap commented 2 years ago

Some other types that might be worthwhile to consider:

[ ] telemetry dataset - maybe a dataset from OTN?
[ ] citizen science data?
[ ] microscopy data
[ ] line transect data collection

There might be more examples worth considering that pop up from our Biological Data Mobilization workshop!

I think we have a better organization to this book now:

Net collection is done at https://ioos.github.io/bio_data_guide/applications.html#trawl-data

eDNA extension example is at https://github.com/iobis/dataset-edna - I'll try to use git submodules to pull that repo/notebook over here to be represented in the book.

I'm going to close this issue and open a new one for "Needed examples to include"
