To fulfill a smooth data flow management you are kindly asked to "digitally onboard" each scientific device or gear you bring on board needs to be "digitally onboarded" in https://sensor.awi.de.in O2A REGISTRY.
The data management system DShip will (semi-)automatically take over and onboard your equipment.
It will then automatically create data folders then list all your onboarded devices in the digital station protocol DShip ActionLog so that your scientific deployments can be perfectly tracked.
Also data folders are automatically created for you (on the the MDM (Mass Data Management) server) and thus the data transfer back on land, after your campaign, can run smoothly and keeps track of your data, the corresponding devices and their meta data.
Also the digital station protocol DShip ActionLog on board will list all your onboarded devices so that your scientific deployments can be perfectly tracked.

Onboard your scientifics devices and gears (digitally)

...

1. Register your devices or gear in https://sensor.awi.dein O2A REGISTRY:
   
   1. In case they already are existing REGISTRY items, skip this step
   2. In case they do not exist in REGISTRY, create a new item
      1. Login or register at REGISTRY ( this works well by using DFN-wide authentification)
      2. In case you need help creating a new item, please head to https://
      spaces.awi
      1. o2a-data.de/
      x/DxEUEg
      1. documentation
      2. In case you need more help, please do not hesitate to ask at o2a-support[at]awi.de
2. Digitally onboard your device / items to a Polarstern campaign
   1. Find your campaign in O2A REGISTRY missions e.g. PS144 (usually we prepare those for each year)
   2. A basic set of usually-onboard instruments are already added to the vessel's missions - no further work to be done
   3. In case your device is not yet part of the mission, add it in section "Items" in your O2A REGISTRY mission
      1. This can only be done by the mission manager / expedition leader or he/she gives you editing permission on the mission and you can add items yourself
      2. In Missions / PS... / Items you can search your items on the left, and drag them to the right. Onboarding is thereby done.
   In order to mark a device to be "on board" Polarstern, add a certain contact to your devices in SENSOR:
   1. Add Contact "dship, polarstern" with role "dship connector
      Image Removed
3. On board the vessel the system manager will take over the list of onboarded devices from SENSORREGISTRY.
   1. In case you already are on board and added devices after the campaign started, just please kindly ask the system manager to make a re-import.

1. Registered devices are automatically taken over to the DShip Actionlog on board, thus your specific devices can be adressed for the station protocol.
2. Data folders are automatically created on the MDM (Mass Data Management) server so you can savely store your device data there and it is automatically transfered back on land after the campaign.
3. All your data and your station events (deployments, profiles, ...) is linked to your device and its metadata, even in 20 yrs, which is really good research data management practice!
   1. The following steps of the O2A Data Flow Concept such as remotely working on the data or publishing data to PANGAEA will be much smoother and easy to accomplish.
