3 Introduction Sound Decisions are based on the provided information Photo credit NOAA Photo credit NOAA Source: Source: various learning resources how to start with bigdata day 20 of 21/

4 Can anyone afford to independently collect, manage, analyze, and archive all the information they need? Not likely. But if goal is to gather enough scientifically sound information to adequately assess results & make decisions about future work, how do they get the information?

5 Moving Forward More data Types of data: Complementary Increasing your sample size Need more data! Source: and more data dev blog/

6 How can we, as a group, collect, manage, analyze, and archive all the information we need? Collaborate & coordinate on data o Knowledge of who is doing what where o Common definitions o Consistent documentation o Common data storage platforms o Data exchange and sharing agreements

7 ACOE BLM BPA CDFW Colville Tribes CRITFC EPA IDFG NOAA NWIFC PNAMP provides a forum to enhance the capacity of multiple entities to collaborate to produce an effective and comprehensive network of aquatic monitoring programs in the Pacific Northwest based on sound science designed to inform public policy and resource management decisions.

8 Monitoring Resources Webtools Online tool development to support project design and documentation Monitoring Methods Monitoring Explorer Sample Designer & Site Manager

9 Data Management Life Cycle

10 More thorough and consistent documentation Project planning, implementation, reporting, transparency, accountability Regional & national coordination, collaboration, data sharing, broad-scale assessments Common terminology Support for design Online system Automated transfers - reduce redundancy 10

11 Monitoring Resources is a suite of integrated tools Design Design sites design Map Viewer Protocols and Methods methods Implementation

12 Design and Document Sample Locations Learn about master sample sites map boundaries, attributes and design documentation View and learn about user sample files sampled by others Import existing sites, add attributes Support development of statistically robust GRTS design using a Master Sample Document other non GRTS designs Output shapefile of sample sites when you finalize your design

13 Design and Document Sample Locations 13

14 Protocols and Methods Promote consistent documentation Improve access to information Promote community discussions Streamline creation of metadata Help increase interoperability between data systems

16 Integration Design Design sites Methods and Protocols methods design Implementation How do see where and what data others have collected? How do we find this information?

17 Stop Relying on Chance to Collaborate You can run into each other Or, You can miss opportunities clip.com/video footage/to+meet+each+other/10

18 Use Monitoring Explorer to Discover Who, What, When, Where and How Increase collaboration and coordination chances

19 Monitoring Explorer See your program and other regional programs Perform searches and download site information for sites that meet search criteria Search based on: monitoring type, location, user created bounding boxes, common regional GIS Layers

20 Who, What, When, Where and How Multiple program s sample location data on the same map Habitat Water Quality Habitat Habitat Fish

21 Who, What, When, Where and How Map Viewer Monitoring Resources Organization Monitoring Program Data Repository Design Documentation Outside Systems (MMX) Location Visit Count Time Period of Visit Protocols Background Methods (Step by step instructions) Metrics/Indicators Data Management Plan

22 Monitoring Explorer Can Help You Discover Data in a Couple Ways: Getting more of the same data Finding complementary data Data Discovery: Finding More of The Same Data roi enterprise wide like herding cats/ butter and jelly cartoon.html

23 Option One: More of the Same Data See all program sites on the same map

40 Monitoring Resources Break on Through to the Other Side Monitoring Metadata Exchange (MMX) Web Services Source:

41 Monitoring Metadata Exchange (MMX) Few organizations share location, site visit history, and protocol information in readily available, standardized machine readable formats Result = Poor coordination Solution = MMX Standardize and share the who, what, when, where, and how of data collection MMX efforts Not talking about sharing raw measurements

42 MMX Details PNAMP WG developed draft data exchange template to support sharing of information

43 Speaking a Common Language Data Provider 1 Data Exchange Template Monitoring Explorer Data Exchange Template Data Provider 3 Data Provider 2 Data Exchange Template Data User Data Exchange Template Data Provider 4

44 Site Manager Sample Designer Integration Protocols And Methods Partners Data Systems Monitoring Explorer Partners Data Systems 44

45 Ways to exchange information

46 Web Services Offer web services to exchange information; stay up to date Encourage use of bi directional web services content is dynamic; always up to date in both systems

47 Web Services with Regional Systems Pisces & Monitoring Resources exchange information o Protocols & Repositories for funding agency proposal system o Contract info/contact info for Monitoring Resources 47

48 Example Web Services with Regional Systems Cbfish.org exchanges info with Monitoring Resources Screenshot of portion of a proposal in cbfish.org Links to protocols 48

49 How PNAMP s Monitoring Resources Tools Currently Address the USGS Data Management Cycle Publish Share Web APIs Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) Free online access to the all the tools XML code to exchange monitoring location data (MMX) Searchable map viewer showing, who is collecting what data where, when and how Citations for methods, protocols and designs Tool to create ISO compliant metadata records and associated XML code Plan Search methods, protocols, designs, data repositories and Master Samples Templates for documenting design, data repositories, methods and protocols Searchable map viewer showing, who is collecting what data where, when and how Process for applying and documenting GRTS design User categorized information based on drop down lists Publish Share Preserve Plan Describe Manage quality Back up & Secure Acquire Process Acquire Template and review process for documenting new methods, designs and protocols Ability to view attributes associated with documented Master Samples Searchable map viewer showing, who is collecting what data where, when and how Process for applying and documenting GRTS design Preserve Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) Web APIs Free online access to the all the tools List and links to Data Repositories Analyze

50 Consistent Documentation For All Monitoring Resources is applicable across nation Flexible framework: Multiple Landscapes and Monitoring types More users = more robust tools 50 Source:
