Abstract

This is a new data and metadata reporting format for soil respiration data, based on engagement with a wide range of researchers in the earth and ecological sciences as well as expert advisory panels. Reporting formats are intended to be ‘bottom-up’, community-developed documents and templates that can enable consistent, findable, accessible, interoperable, and reproducible (FAIR) data; our goal was a reporting format that would be relevant and useful for synthesis activities, optimizing data discoverability and usability while not placing an undue burden on data contributors. The format is split into two levels of information—metadata about chambers (used to measure soil respiration in the field), and the measured data themselves. The file data_reportingformat_template.xlsx contains information on how the data table should be structured, including field names, field descriptions, and units; the chammetadata_reportingformat_template.xlsx file contains similar information for the chamber-level metadata. Fundamentally, this format aims to enable FAIR data through an easy-to-use guide for data providers interested in formatting their data in a common way, and provide ‘future-proofing’ capabilities to support reanalyses of soil respiration data, a globally-important component of the carbon cycle.

ESS-DIVE Reporting Format for Sample-based Water and Soil Chemistry Measurements

Dataset Boye, Kristin ; Crystal-Ornelas, Robert ; O'Ryan, Dylan ; ...

The ESS-DIVE (Environmental Systems Science Data Infrastructure for a Virtual Ecosystem) reporting format for sample-based water and soil chemistry measurements are written guidelines and spreadsheet templates, that facilitate archiving water/soil/sediment chemistry data. The templates and terminology lists provided as part of the reporting format can help organize data and potentially enable data reuse.The reporting format consists of a general instructions file (instructions.md) as well as more detailed instructions files for each template (files beginning “Detailed_Instructions_*.md). The “examples” folder includes an example of each data template with just the limited set of required fields filled out as well as other examplesmore »« less
ESS-DIVE Reporting Format for Location Metadata

Dataset Crystal-Ornelas, Robert ; O'Ryan, Dylan ; Christianson, Danielle ; ...

The ESS-DIVE location metadata reporting format provides instructions and templates for reporting a minimum set of metadata for discrete point locations in geographic space represented by x, y, and z coordinates. This format was created based on a need for earth and environmental science researchers to more consistently provide metadata about locations where they conduct studies. To create the format, we incorporated elements from ESS-DIVE’s community reporting formats as well as 12 additional data standards or other data resources (e.g., databases, data systems, or repositories). In the template, we ask researchers to indicate unique locations using Location IDs and indicatemore »« less
ESS-DIVE Reporting Format for File-level Metadata

Dataset Velliquette, Terri ; Welch, Jessica ; Crow, Michael ; ...

The ESS-DIVE reporting format for file-level metadata (FLMD) provides granular information at the data file level to describe the contents, scope, and structure of the data file to enable comparison of data files within a data package. The FLMD are fully consistent with and augment the metadata collected at the data package level. We developed the FLMD template based on a review of a small number of existing FLMD in use at other agencies and repositories with valuable input from the Environmental Systems Science (ESS) Community. Also included is a template for a CSV Data Dictionary where users can providemore »« less
ESS-DIVE Reporting Format for Amplicon Abundance Table

Dataset Weisenhorn, Pamela ; Beilsmith, Kathleen

While standardized sequencing data is available in public repositories and efforts such as MIxS for common sample collection and processing metadata are well established, the lack of common bioinformatic processing metadata has hindered the ability to do large-scale metaanalyses and the potential for data re-use by non-experts such as ecosystem, watershed, or earth system modelers. To address this need for Department of Energy researchers, we have developed an amplicon reporting format which captures both sample preparation and bioinformatic processing metadata and stores processed amplicon data as a paired abundance table and sequencing file to maximize the potential for re-use ofmore »« less
ESS-DIVE Reporting Format for Dataset Package Metadata

Dataset Agarwal, Deb ; Cholia, Shreyas ; Hendrix, Valerie C. ; ...

ESS-DIVE’s (Environmental Systems Science Data Infrastructure for a Virtual Ecosystem) dataset metadata reporting format is intended to compile information about a dataset (e.g., title, description, funding sources) that can enable reuse of data submitted to the ESS-DIVE data repository. The files contained in this dataset include instructions (dataset_metadata_guide.md and README.md) that can be used to understand the types of metadata ESS-DIVE collects. The data dictionary (dd.csv) follows ESS-DIVE’s file-level metadata reporting format and includes brief descriptions about each element of the dataset metadata reporting format. This dataset also includes a terminology crosswalk (dataset_metadata_crosswalk.csv) that shows how ESS-DIVE’s metadata reporting formatmore »« less
