All,
At the last meeting there was a clear steer to provide more a modular approach to the Data Guidelines to stop the repetition of content between different ones. Myself and Becky have discussed this approach and come up with a proposed solution.

Basically the approach is to provide common tables as stand alone web documents and then give the web address in the guidelines at the appropriate point. If tables need updating this means a lot less work. I have done an example using the existing offshore litter guideline which is attached and the tables it refers to in that document are also attached.

Further details are below and a very rough mock up of how we can describe this in a webpage also attached.

For those who had strong feelings about this can you please provide some comments back to myself and Becky by mid next week? We can then make the necessary amendments and put the new structure and some more guidelines that we have waiting to publish on the website in the next 2 weeks.

Best Wishes
Mark

Hi Becky,
Basically as we discussed I have seperated out the project, survey and fixed station tables which will be generic to all (where applicable in the case of project and fixed station) into their own documents - attached.

The trawl and tow information is also seperated out and this would in my mind fall in the category of 'Sample Event' which would also include grab and core, water sample, oceanographic profile etc - it is slightly different to the data guideline you wrote but we can amend it.

One thing I have struggled with is whether to seperate out the Data Production Tools (sample and processing methods,) from the sample data or leave together. I have edited the litter guideline to give an example of what I expect a MEDIN Guideline could look like under this new framework and have pulled it out the Data Production Tools bit seperate but it may need more thought.

Yesterday I started doing a mock up of what the web page introducing it could look like but I like your matrix more!

Are you around tomorrow so we can go through all this on phone and plan?
Cheers
Mark

Hi Mark,

I've been trying to consolidate the standards stuff as per our phone conversation last week. I attach a matrix I made showing the sections seen in each standard which I hope helps show the commonalities between them. The first two levels are standard, level three is standard but has specific requirements on what is included in the methodology. I'm gonna have a quick look at levels 4-6 to see how much is common.

Hi Terry
Can you upload these Data Guidelines to this page: http://www.oceannet.org/marine_data_standards/medin_data_guide.html

Use the titles:
Recording offshore litter data
Oceanographic vertical profile data

Also, In the last paragraph change the sentence 'MEDIN are in the process of deriving guidelines for physical oceanographic measurements, litter and seabed mapping and geophysics.' To 'MEDIN are in the process of deriving guidelines for other physical oceanographic measurements, biology and seabed mapping and geophysics.'

Cheers
Mark
