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)

General:

  • This record points to the same resource as the 'Material_thickness' record, and also has the same authors associated with it. Are the two resources related, should they be linked in a single metadata record?

If they need to be separated, consider the following comments for this data record:

Start:

  • Consider being more descriptive in the dataset title, include information on what, where and when.

Resource Identification:

  • Consider what project this record is part of -- likely 'Watersheds', maybe also 'ACO'?
  • Consider adding version element (1.0) to this record, even if you do not anticipate incrementally versioning this record. However, there is a 'revised' date (2022-04-25) so I just want to confirm that this data has not previously been published (and therefore would perhaps need a different version element)?

Contact:

  • Consider changing the email associated with Hakai Institute from 'media@hakai.org' --> 'data@hakai.org'
  • Consider adding ROR for Paul Sanborn, I believe his affiliation is the University of Northern British Columbia?
  • Change the email associated with Ministry of Forests - currently includes a personal email, better to include general email. The personal email is already included in the individual metadata.
  • Add 'Hakai Institute' with role 'Publisher'
  • If work was funded by Hakai Institute/Tula Foundation, as Tula Foundation with role 'Funder', without including the Tula Foundation in the recommended citation.

Data and Documentation:

  • Realizing this resource is included in the data package - you could also reference this documentation/sampling protocol under "Related Works".
  • Is the Dropbox folder a personal or institutional? Will the data be preserved here long-term?
  • Personally, I do not find the SMU_data_dictionary.csv file very informative; what do the abbreviations in the Description column refer to?
