Bio Data Guide

📓 This repository contains living documentation to help those just getting started with biological data or those looking to learn and contribute to IOOS's best practices for biological data.

❓ Have Questions? ❓

  • See the "issues" tab above to ask questions or discuss with the IOOS biodata community.
  • Also try searching for related issues which are open or have been closed (ie answered)

Got Data?

  • 💬 open an issue in the issues tab above
  • 💾 small datasets can be uploaded into ./bio-data-guide/datasets/ and we can help you align with best practices
  • 🔗 dataset repositories or other hosted data can be included in the links in the Datasets section below

Standardizing Marine Biological Data Guide

See the guide here

We are documenting, in the form of a 📓 Guide, relevant resources and standards which apply to various marine biological data sets. This is a work in progress, a growing guide that is being put together by scientists and data managers responsible for transforming their data to meet international standards. The Guide is exported into multiple formats, including a pdf document. Chapters are written in R Markdown files; contributions are welcome!

Monthly Meetings

We have open monthly meetings to discuss marine bio data issues. Please join us next time!

Datasets

The ./datasets/ directory in this repository contains small datasets which meet one of the following criteria:

  • 👷 the community is currently aligning this data
  • 📓 the dataset is retained as an instructive example
  • 🙊 the lazy maintainers of this repo haven't cleaned it out yet

Ideally each dataset should contain a README.md file with details about the data and the ingestion process for this dataset. A few datasets are highlighted below as especially instructive examples:

Historical

This repo has grown out of the 2019 IOOS code sprint. Original documents from the sprint are retained on a fork of this repo in marinebon/bio_data_scripts_ioos_workshop_2019.
