Abstract

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 indicate hierarchies of locations through parent location IDs. We also provide additional optional fields for researchers to indicate how they measured the point location and the date and time that the location was first used as a research siteThis dataset contains support documentation for the reporting format (README.md and instructions.md), a terminology guide (guide.md), a crosswalk indicating how this reporting format relates to existing standards and data resources (Location_metadata_crosswalk.csv), a data dictionary (dd.csv), file-level metadata (flmd.csv), and the location metadata templates in both CSV (Location_metadata_template.csv) and Excel formats (Location_metadata_template.xlsx).

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 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
ESS-DIVE Reporting Format for Hydrologic Monitoring Data and Metadata

Dataset Goldman, Amy E ; Ren, Huiying ; Torgeson, Joshua ; ...

The ESS-DIVE Reporting Format (RF) for Hydrologic Monitoring Data and Metadata was designed for water level, temperature, electrical conductivity, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, and pH measured in situ using sensors deployed in water bodies. It can also be applied to a broader suite of variables beyond its original scope. The RF is intended to provide clear and easy guidance to data generators aiming to upload consistent findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) datasets. The RF includes instructions (pdf), a term guide (csv), templates (csv and xlsx), and a list of recommended vocabulary (csv) to equip the data generator with allmore »« less
ESS-DIVE reporting format for leaf-level gas exchange data and metadata

Dataset Ely, Kim ; Rogers, Alistair ; Crystal-Ornelas, Robert

Here we present documentation of the ESS-DIVE reporting format for leaf-level gas exchange data and metadata. This reporting format provides guidance to data contributors on how to store data to maximize their discoverability, facilitate their efficient reuse, and add value to individual datasets. For data users, the reporting format will better allow data repositories to optimize data search and extraction, and more readily integrate similar data into harmonized synthesis products. The reporting format specifies data table variable naming and unit conventions, as well as metadata characterizing experimental conditions and protocols. For common data types that were the focus of thismore »« 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
