Best Practices Checklist

In General

• No previous versions of this metadata record exist (eg for earlier versions of the data, if so update that record rather than creating a new one)

Data Identification

Dataset title:

• No version information in the title
• Frontloaded (with the most important information first)
• Include the geographical region the data apply to
• Short – aim for 60 characters including spaces
• Does not include acronyms – put these in the keywords
• Does not include the word “dataset”
• Time series datasets should include “time series” at the end of the title

Abstract

• Abbreviations have been expanded upon at first mention
• Abstract describes how, when, what, where, why of data collection and is limited to no more than 500 words

DOI

• A DOI has been drafted for this record
• DOI has been updated via the form after review and changes to record
• DOI has been manually edited on datacite fabrica
• DOI status has been changed from Draft to Findable

Spatial

• Ensure that Depth or Height Positive is correctly selected

Contact

• ROR and ORCID(s) are included and linked properly where applicable
• For datasets where DFO is a partner, ensure 'parent' ROR is added (https://ror.org/02qa1x782). DFO 'child' organizations (i.e. CHS) and their ROR are optional.
• Include Hakai Institute as Publisher and include data@hakai.org as email
• Make sure email address is provided if the role is 'Metadata Custodian' or 'Point of Contact'
• Add contact affiliation where known including ROR
• If resource is (partially) generated by Hakai researchers, include 'Tula Foundation' (with associated ROR) with 'Funder' role. Be sure to uncheck 'include in citation' for Tula Foundation.

Resources

• Resource links go to specific dataset download (not generic platform like waterproperties.ca)
• Readme, changelog, data dictionary, protocols included in data-package (for tabular text based data)
• An archive folder, or other means, for older data versions is included in the data package if the version is not 1.0
• Links work
• All files in the data package can be opened and are not corrupt
• No executable files in the data package. Files should be open formats and standards (.csv, .txt for example)

Hey @hakaiholmes

Couple of notes:

• Tula foundation should be the funder rather than Hakai. I've updated this...
• I expanded on ACO acronym in the abstract
• I added publisher role to Hakai
• I added ROR for Hakai
• URL to download the report requires sign in and then requires access request
• Ideally the Instrument ID would be a unique ID so that if you ever change out a laser sensor or aerial camera, you'll know which specific ones were used with each dataset. Not a requirement but just to note thats how that field is intended to be used.
