Data Rescue
Welcome
Welcome to CRESCYNT’s Data Science for Coral Reefs Workshop 1: Data Rescue, hosted at NCEAS in Santa Barbara, California, from March 12-15, 2018.
This workshop will cover the basic principles of data archiving and data repositories, metadata formats, how to write good metadata, how to archive data on the KNB data repository and elsewhere, data preservation workflow and best practices, and how to improve data discoverability and reusability. Additionally, participants will spend approximately 2 days working in pairs to archive their own data using these principles.
