Dataset Title

Jellyfish diversity and ecology of the coastal region of Cameroon

Describe your dataset and any specific challenges or blockers you have or anticipate.

My dataset is a collection of species sampled along the coastal region of Cameroon and physicochemical of the coastal waters. Establish relationship between biological and environmental variables, sizes, abundance, etc.

Thank you for identifying this dataset for mobilization. The workshop hosts wanted to check in. Is there anything you need help with in order to mobilize this dataset to OBIS? If you would like assistance from an OBIS node you can find node contacts listed here.

Dear OBIS and workshop organizers, Upon registration, I discussed this issue with Tim because the data I used for the workshop had not yet been published.  I thought that I would publish the data first before making it available to OBIS. It will also be of interest for me to understand what it means to mobilize a dataset for OBIS. By understanding well, I will be able to take the suitable decision.  It is a pleasure to contribute to science. Best regards.

what it means to mobilize a dataset for OBIS

OBIS is a platform to which you can publish your data.
In order to do so the data needs to be in a standard format called a Darwin Core Archive.
What we call "mobilization" is the process of moving data from excel files on researcher laptops (for example), shaping it into a Darwin Core Archive, and publishing it to OBIS by uploading to an IPT server.

@Ggisele-design OBIS is a platform where you can publish your data. This allows you to share it with others, others can cite it, and you can cite it in your own articles. We're happy to help you mobilize (AKA publish) your data, but you're also welcome to reach out to the Sub-Saharan African OBIS node manager, Tshikana Rasehlomi, (@TRasehlomi) if you'd prefer to work with them.

Dear Stephen,  Hope this mail finds you well.  I am not concerned publishing my dataset directly with you.  Could you tel me the procedure and how long this can take.  Best regards.  GisèleFlodore Ghepdeu Youbouni-Kadjop Researchofficer, Specialized Research Station for Marine Ecosystems - IRAD Kribi Head of the Fisheries Research Laboratory at the Research StationPhDStudent, University of Douala (Cameroon)ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4421-2780Phone and WhatsApp: +237655590410 Alt.Email : ***@***.*** Le lundi 3 juin 2024 à 16:26:16 UTC+1, Stephen Formel ***@***.***> a écrit : @Ggisele-design OBIS is a platform where you can publish your data.

A walkthrough of the process of converting data to Darwin Core and publishing on OBIS+GBIF is on the Data Mobilization Workshop website.

[sformel-usgs]

Hello @Ggisele-design, the tutorial link that was provided by @7yl4r should help you understand how to do the task. The duration of the publishing process depends on how well-documented and standardized the data is. If the data is already in good condition, it can be completed quickly in a day or less. However, if the data needs extensive cleaning, standardization, and documentation, it might take a few weeks or months, depending on your skills and how easy it is to find information about how the data was created.

Although it may not be the answer you were hoping for, it is the reality of the situation. Based on the data you have uploaded to Github, you could probably align this with Darwin Core quite quickly. If the metadata is equally detailed and well-documented, it should take no more than a few days.

If you would like to schedule a time to discuss the next steps with me, please email me directly at [email protected]. (Please note, these emails you are receiving are being sent through Github.)
