Subject: Marine Life Data Workshop for June 10th at 1pm
(Electronically-tracked animal movement data standardization to Darwin Core)

Hi MBON DMAC'ers!

This is a friendly reminder that next week we will be hosting the third of
our data standardization workshops. This is a pivot from our planned
workshop agenda
<https://ioos.github.io/mbon_data_workshop_2025/index.html#schedule> into
monthly, 2-hour sessions where we will focus on one specific observing
method (eg. eDNA, passive acoustic monitoring, plankton imagery, animal
tracking, etc.) and the process by which those data can be standardized to
Darwin Core and shared to OBIS/GBIF.

Our third "data session" will be held on *June 10th from 1pm ET - 3pm ET*.
The topic will be "E*lectronically-tracked animal movement data DarwinCore
alignment data workshop*" and will be hosted by Jonathan Pye, Director,
Data Operations OTN. Below is the connection information if you would like
to attend. Below is an overview of the session.

Since 2008, the Ocean Tracking Network has been curating and coordinating
the sharing and publication of animal movement data, especially
observations made with acoustic pinger tags attached to individuals and
listening stations able to decode the unique signals from these
intercompatible tags. Researchers have long benefitted from tracking their
individuals across a global observatory of volunteer data providers as well
as the OTN’s strategically placed backbone listening arrays. OTN, working
in conjunction with ETN, IMOS and the US-IOOS ATN, has established a global
standard for representing this data type in OBIS, and as the thematic OBIS
node for animal movement data, has been responsible for registering nearly
5 million animal presence records since 2002.

 OTN empowers regional networks of researchers to build replicate databases
and pipelines for electronically-tracked animal movement data, providing
open-source tools and source-controlled data workflows that receive, QC,
and integrate new data into a regional data system, or Node, that not only
combines direct contributor data, but interoperates with all other Nodes
worldwide. These Nodes are capable of following a data export pipeline to
produce a Darwin Core Archive summarizing any one project’s data holdings,
in a manner fit for publication to OBIS via OTN in its role as an OBIS
network, or through any appropriate national or regional OBIS network. Jon
Pye, OBIS data manager and architect of the Node systems, will guide us
through the standard, the data workflow that OTN and its Nodes can follow
to publish Darwin Core Archives, and the future of publishing
electronically tagged animal presence data and the ocean variables that are
collected alongside those efforts.
