Describing your sensor is the basic for future use and re-use of sensor information e.g. publishing data in AWI-operated portals, monitoring of data streams, archiving the data, etc. The user-friendly web application sensor.awi.de is available to manage the sensor-specific information (e.g manufacturer information, serial number, inventory number, photos, calibration reports, physical characterization of parameters etc).
Please start with SENSOR.awi.de . Log in or create a new account. Choose a platform type and add your sensor and complement the basic informations.
You will find further handling information in the AWI Intranet under "Sensor Information System" or some video hints in sensor.awi.de itself.
Describing your sensor output data as a generic "raw data project" is a necessary part for a seamless data transfer undergoing a "file structure" validation process, adding metadata and assigning a digital object identifier (DOI) for the dataset achived in the PANGAEA-System.
The describing information consists of data format manual for re-using the data and the a generic file- and directory-naming convention. The data format document(s) will be stored in ePIC, The adding of naming conventions has to be done by contacting ingestion@awi.de by mail.
The file- and directory-naming convention will to be declared as an regular expression once only. Each new dataset is checked against this expression automaticly. The metadata creation section combines the date and time information out of the file and/or directory names with the track information if available. Both, the dataset and metadata will be submitted to the PANGAEA-System.
You will find further information in the AWI intranet under "RDIF: Raw Data Ingestion Framework at AWI".
Now it is time for step 2 (next step...).
