Workshop 1 : Introduction to the OceanGliders Github repository – S. Thomsen

Github is becoming a central piece of the OceanGliders data management strategy. This is both a forum where the issues are discussed collectively and a controler version tool to manage collective projects, like documents and software. In this workshop, you will be introduced to the basic use of Github in the context of OceanGliders community repository.

The “Daily Thirty” : 30 minutes to present the agenda and sum up the discussions of the previous day

11:00 – 12.30 CEST

Workshop 2 : Metadata management and controlled vocabularies

The objective of this workshop is to introduce the glider operators, principal investigators and data managers to the importance of harmonized metadata and the concept of controlled vocabularies.  The existing resources to handle this critical topic will be presented and training will be organized during the workshop.

  • OceanOPS vocab and tools
  • Current OG1.0 vocabulary 
  • NERC Vocabulary Server (NVS) introduction
  • Vocabulary governance (example Argo)
  • NVS search 
  • Adopting a vocabulary
  • Online tool demonstrator
  • Use of the json for RT data management

15:00 – 16.30 CEST

Workshop 3 (provisional) : Focus on Real Time data management of Temperature and Salinity

The objective of this workshop is to present the existing resources to properly manage the temperature and salinity data in Real Time, and to engage in the difficulties operators, PIs and data managers may encounter in this regard.

  • The OceanGliders Salinity SOP on Github
  • How to apply RT correction on T and S?  The technique, the calibration, the data and metadata needed
  • Post your issues +and comments ahead of the meeting on Github here
