This is a pivot from our <a href="https://ioos.github.io/mbon_data_workshop_2025/index.html#schedule" target="_blank">planned workshop agenda</a> 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.</div><div><br></div><div>Our third "data session" will be held on <b>June 10th from 1pm ET - 3pm ET</b>. The topic will be "E<i>lectronically-tracked animal movement data DarwinCore alignment data workshop</i>" 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.</div><div><br></div></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div><div><div>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.</div></div></div><div><div><div><br></div></div></div><div><div><div> 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.</div></div></div><div><div><div><br></div></div></div><div><div><div><a href="https://oceantrackingnetwork.org/about-data-centre/" target="_blank">https://oceantrackingnetwork.org/about-data-centre/</a></div></div></div></blockquote><div><div><div><br></div><div>The meeting is open to others who might have an interest as well.</div><div><br></div><div>MBON DMAC working group<br>Tuesday, June 10 · 1:00 – 2:50pm<br>Time zone: America/New_York<br>Google Meet joining info<br>Video call link: <a href="https://meet.google.com/imf-qrhy-jgx" target="_blank">https://meet.google.com/imf-qrhy-jgx</a><br>Or dial: (US) +1 321-351-6755 PIN: 548 540 777#<br>More phone numbers: <a href="https://tel.meet/imf-qrhy-jgx?pin=2704290817714" target="_blank">https://tel.meet/imf-qrhy-jgx?pin=2704290817714</a></div><div><br></div></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Matt & Laura</div></div><div><br></div><div>P.S.
