Before getting started make sure you discuss your particular use case with one of the chief editors listed under SENSOR page. You should also visit the our YouTube channel, in particular watch the ones we recommend under SENSOR. So that you will be able to easily find your device using the facetted search make sure the chief editor has created for you in advance the following attributes

  • the tag for "Collection"
  • the tag for your "Institute"; in case your affiliation is different form the institute which owns the device, make sure this is also created. In addition to entering your own role (example PI, tehcnical, etc) you are requested to enter also the name of the institute which owns the device.

In real life devices are being deployed in well-defined actions (e.g. action log from DSHIP) along with fixed payload of sensors. The data from the individual sensors are then stored in repositories like PANGAEA. In order to link the dataset to the information from SENSOR to a given event/action, it is important that you select the action of type deployment (=mount, commisioned). This will trigger the generation of a version of the device (including respective sensors) for the point in time a deployment action was carried out. In the new version you will find a cite-enabled PID (in this case a hnadle) for the instrument along with a recommended citation style. THe PID should be provided during dataset submission. In the PANGAEA example https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.857507 the handle  hdl:10013/sensor.664525cf-45b9-4969-bb88-91a1c5e97a5b points to SENSOR metadata specific for action/event

Because calibrations often involve changes in the data output, it is important to also document these as a stand-along action. In particular in this case, we remind you to additionally upload calibration certificates or documents.
