Creating basic metadataAssigning an item to a parent

While creating a new item, you need to consider whether it should be tagged to an existing platform type or not. For example, items to be mounted on board of a vessel should be assigned to the corresponding vessel while an item which is deployed manually (e.g. a drilling instrument) is should not be assigned to any platform (choose NA). This The latter scenario also holds for items which are used in use within a project at distinct platform (e.g. CTDs in use during the MOSAiC experiment; in this case, because the CTDs are being used in water, on ice or on zodiac and thus makes little sense to assign it to a particular platform). Thus Generally speaking, we strongly recommend that you to discuss in advance your particular use case with one of the chief editors listed under SENSOR (for your insittute or project, if applied). You should also visit the our YouTube channel (work-in-progress), in particular watch the ones we recommend under SENSOR.

You will be asked to create a short and long name for your device. Keep in mind that the short names cannot be modified once created because they are in-use by INGEST and STORAGE (for setting the path to data files for a particular item)


Naming convention
While creating a short and long name for your device, keep in mind that the short names cannot be modified once created because they are in-use within INGEST and STORAGE (for setting the path to data files for a particular item).


Item affiliation/ownership

SENSOR allows us to keep track of the items owned by a given institute. For this sake, fill out under the "Contacts" tab the name of the institute to which the item should be affiliated to (use the role "owner"). If your institute is not listed yes, please contact sensor (at) awi.de.

In addition to entering the "owner" of an item, you are also requested to enter the name of contact informaiton of PI, engineer-in-charge, data scientist, etc


Relation to a project/collection
SENSOR allows us to keep track of the relation of an item to a large-scale project/collection. If your project is not listed under the options, please contact sensor o2a-support (at) awi.de


Ship-mounted and aircraft-mounted sensors as special use-case
These items represent a special use-case in SENSOR because the metadata is being maintained by a third-party company. In case the device you will be using in a given research vessel is not listed yet, please contact sensor (at) awi.de
