Data Management • Systematic coordinated approach • Data input • Metadata input • Data output • Data requests • Where do we start?
Data Management Pilot Project • Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program (CBMP) is developing an approach to manage data at multiple scales from multiple networks (birds, fish, polar bears, caribou etc.) • CBMP has asked CARMA Network to test a suitable data management system
What datasets can we start with? • Body Condition Data • Population Data • Habitat Data (Vegetation; Snow Cover) • Distribution data (Satellite collared caribou locations) • Local Knowledge: observations of predators, general body condition of caribou / reindeer • Other?
Participation involves… • Signing a Data Sharing Agreement • Contributing Metadata in Standard Format • Contributing Data in Standard Format • Providing Feedback on the System • End Result = Comparative Analysis • Participants can use the comparative analysis to evaluate their monitoring efforts for herd management
Costs and Administration • Set-up data management system • Start with a framework design • Ongoing maintenance of databases & linked website • Time commitment for adding future data • CARMA requested $ for data management • 56k for 2006-2007; • 120k for 2007-2009; • 87k for 2009-2010; • 79k for 2010-2011
Who will do what? • Multiple participants needed to build a team with representation from each sector • CBMP to hire a consultant to create a data management framework • CARMA members to contribute data for a pilot project • Who will input the data? • What outputs do we want?
Discussion • Data management: • Who is willing to be on the “Team”? • How do we make it easy for people to participate? • What dataset do we start with? • Data sharing: • What kinds of policies should be developed? • Can we have a standard agreement? • Where do we look for data sharing models?
