*Topic: Addressing Data Interoperability Challenges for Animal Telemetry
DatasetsTime: Thursday, 2020-03-12, 10:30 PT, 1:30 ET, 17:30 UTC*

Hello all,

Please join us this week's call for what should be a fascinating
presentation from Vardis Tsontos, “Addressing Data Interoperability
Challenges for Animal Telemetry Datasets”.


> Over the past decade, there has been a rapid proliferation of electronic
> tagging studies involving sensor deployments on biological sampling
> platforms.  The extent and importance of such data from an ocean
> observation, movement ecology and fisheries management perspective has
> prompted calls for the inclusion of animal telemetry as complementary and
> integral part of ocean observing system and resulted in the development of
> data assembly centers such as IOOS-ATN and IMOS-ATF in the US and Australia
> respectively.  Electronic tagging data, however, are generally
> characterized by data interoperability issues relating to the paucity of
> metadata and the use of ad hoc file formats for instrument output data
> files that pose significant challenges to their broader usability and long
> term preservation. Here I discuss some of these issues and provide an
> overview of the nc-eTAG specification that leverages self-describing
> scientific data formats (netCDF), widely used Earth Science metadata
> standards (CF/ACDD) and extensions to these to support the full suite of
> (non-acoustic) electronic tagging data types from the range of tag
> manufacturers.


Vardis is based at the NASA’s Physical oceanography data archive (PO.DAAC)
at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

Hope you can join!
