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 - I'm sorry I'm only getting to this record now! Some thoughts, comments and suggestions:

General

• I'm assuming that this record is a new 'version' to/continuation of: Fraser River Airborne Surveys - 2020 - Airborne Coastal Observatory? Would it be worthwhile updating that record, or would you consider this an entirely new product/web map?

Resource Identification

• I think I would remove the information related to the data files from the abstract, I think it distracts a little bit from the what, when, where and why that should be covered.
• I would remove the sensor and instrument breakdown currently included in the abstract and include it under 'Platform'. There seems to be a bit of duplication in the second paragraph as well

Contacts

• If 'Hakai Institute' as a contact is OK (vs. e.g. Hakai Geospatial, or individual authors), then I have included 'Publisher' as a role.

Data and Documentation

• Is it possible that the link to the webmap is specific to the area surveyed that is described in this metadata record?
• I would include the metadata report link under 'Related Works' with the relation type being 'Has Metadata' as the related work will have the metadata for the primary resource.
• Just confirming that there's no specific DMP for this project that you could include under Related Works, correct?
• If this is indeed a new version of the 2020 Fraser River Airborne Survey then you can include that as a related work as well (I would do relation type = 'Continues', rather than 'Is New Version Of')

Platform

• I have changed the type of platform from aeroplane -> research aeroplane
• Seems like you could perhaps include additional instruments/sensors from the abstract in this section?
