Bookkeeping deployments of a sensor

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.



Cite-enabled sensors

A Every item placed in the live archive in SENSOR (workflow status "public") gets assigned a persistant identifier (PID). The PID consists of a handle which implies that the landing page for all items in SENSOR are cite-enabled.

The practive has shown that the configuration of sub-items associated with an item (e.g., devices/sensors mounted in a given platform) varies with scientific expeditions or even stations. Because of this we allow users to create separate versions of any given platform/device to as to capture the specific sensor configuration during an event (e.g. deployment, calibration). Every version of an item gets an individual PID which is cite-enabled.

Datasets in PANGAEA are often archived for a given event/station. Because individual PIDs are available in SENSOR for selected events, the linking of a dataset archived in PANGAEA to the respective sensor described in SENSOR becomes straightforward. See example type handle alog with citation can be created upon demand for actions of type mission, deployment and calibration. is optional but recommended for action types "Deployment" and "Calibration". This allows you to link the item store in SENSOR to the respective dataset stored in PANGAEA. Example: https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.857507
