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.

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)

[timvdstap]

• Is this submission a continuation of this record?
• Could you be a bit more descriptive in your title, e.g., by adding a geographic location?
• I assume the theme of this record would be 'Other' (as opposed to Oceanographic or Biological), right?
• I would add the paper or record referenced in abstract as a Related Work
• The abstract says the data was collected since 2014, but the start date says 2013-10-10
• Are these weather stations located at certain heights above sea level - if you know this information, you could add this under 'Spatial' Tab: Heigh Positive.
• I'm not sure if you want the Hakai Institute included in your list of authors? Do you just want them included at the end of the recommended citation (e.g., Haughton, E., Floyd, W., Hateley, S., & Mcphail, J. (2024). Hakai Weather Station Data - Provisional (v1.0). Hakai Institute.)?
• Do Shawn and James not have an ORCID?
• Is James with Hakai Institute or with Hakai Energy Solutions? I would perhaps include Hakai Energy Solutions as affiliation.
• Could you add Tula Foundation as a Funder -- you can uncheck the 'appear in citation' box.
• The URL to the provisional record in ERDDAP is inactive - do you know which is the correct link?
