| | + | WGs can be created by any member of the LinkedEarth community to discuss topics of interest. The rationale for such WGs is that the paleo community is incredibly diverse, and what matters to a coral geochemist may be very different than what matters to a dendrochronologist. That being said, both might care about similar things. The WGs should just span the interests of the community and how they intersect. |

| |
| − | == Getting Started==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Getting started with creating a standard for the entire community can be seen as a daunting task. The most obvious questions are "what does a standard actually look like?", "Where do I start?".
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === What does a standard actually look like?===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To answer the first question, a standard is a document that can live on the web or in the case of the standard being developed here, can take the form of a peer-reviewed article. Anyone contributing to the discussion on developing standards for paleoclimatology (either during our [http://linked.earth/event/paleoclimate-ontology-workshop/ workshop on paleoclimate data standards], on the wiki, or teleconference) will be included in the list of authorships.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Where do I start?===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The ultimate goal of LinkedEarth is to provide scientists with tools to make better science, including allowing scientists to upload the metadata they need to make their science reproducible, allows complex queries on the system to easily retrieve datasets, and provide packages in R and Python using the standards developed by the community.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==== Uploading the needed metadata ====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The strength and appeal of the field of paleoclimatology reside in its diversity. This community relies on the work of geochemists, geologists, computer modelers, statisticians ... to understand past climates. This diversity is also reflected in the datasets generated within the community. Therefore, a one-size-fit-all template for all paleoclimate datasets isn't useful. The LinkedEarth wiki allows to store the metadata each community needs to represent their data. For instance, the cleaning methodology may be important to the foraminiferal Mg/Ca community but completely irrelevant to the tree-ring community. Therefore, one possible way to create a standard is to ask oneself: "What pieces of metadata would I require to reproduce this particular dataset and therefore which one should I provide for my own datasets?"
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Some of these metadata will be standard across all archives (i.e., geographic coordinates, publication information). Some will be archive (and even observation)-specific. See [[Category:Marine Sediment Working Group | here]] for the beginning of a discussion on foraminiferal Mg/Ca.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==== Querying the datasets ====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Another way to think about the essential/recommended/optional metadata is to think about the kind of queries one would want to enable for their research. For instance, [http://linked.earth/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Khider_AGUFall16.pdf Testing the Millennial-Scale Solar-Climate Connection in the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool] required the following query and associated metadata:

| |
| − | == Cross-Archive Metadata ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This section is dedicated to the discussion of metadata that would apply for all the paleoclimate archives. For discussion on a specific archive, see the archive working group.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === How this section is organized ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The section is structured around polls to gather community votes on whether a particular metadata property should be considered essential, required, or desired metadata (for a definition of these terms, see [[Paleoclimate_Data_Standards | this page]]).
| |
| − | The polling is divided around two "types" of datasets: [[#New Datasets | New Datasets]] and [[#Legacy Datasets | Legacy Datasets]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The subsections are organized around the categories available on the wiki.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Click on the links to see the current definition of the term. If you disagree on the definition, please use the Discussion page on the term.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you think a metadata property is missing, [[Quick_Guide_to_Editing_Wiki_Pages | add a poll]] directly in the appropriate section (don't forget to add the poll for both new and legacy datasets!)
| |

| |
| − | '''If the page freezes and you're unable to vote, refresh the page!'''

| |
| − | Just a few questions to get you started. These concern both legacy and new datasets:
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In answering this question, remember that all the datasets on the wiki are public. The LinkedEarth team is considering adding a feature where a dataset could be uploaded and kept private until publication for use with codes and softwares but this feature is not yet available.
| |
| − | <poll>
| |
| − | Should the LinkedEarth wiki contain datasets:
| |
| − | That have been published in peer-reviewed journals only
| |
| − | Both in peer-reviewed and non-peer reviewed publications (e.g. Dissertation)
| |
| − | Published as well as "old" datasets (a dataset the PI hasn't gone around to publish, probably never will but could be useful to the community)

In the Linked Earth context, a working group (WG) is a self-organized coalition of knowledgeable experts who elaborate and discuss the components of a data standard for their field of expertise.
WGs can be created by any member of the LinkedEarth community to discuss topics of interest. The rationale for such WGs is that the paleo community is incredibly diverse, and what matters to a coral geochemist may be very different than what matters to a dendrochronologist. That being said, both might care about similar things. The WGs should just span the interests of the community and how they intersect.
On your profile page, you have the option of joining working groups simply by inputting their names in the "Working Groups" tab.
The only WGs to pop up are those currently in existence. If the one you want doesn't exist yet, please create it.
Note that joining a working group adds all pages belonging to that working group category to be added to the user's watchlist.
Joining a working group doesn't commit you to participate in every discussion on the subject. Rather, it lends support to the need for the creation of a standard and shows trust in the community.
To create a WG, create a new page and tag it as a sub category of the WG category. The list of working groups will be shown automatically at the bottom of this page (as subcategories of the Working_Groups category).
Each WG page needs the following elements:
To get started, just log on, look at any WG page, and just copy&paste the relevant elements. When you want to categorize any wiki page as belonging to that working group, add the working group category (at the bottom) to the wiki page. For instance, a page on layer-counting might be relevant to the tree, coral, and ice core working groups.
Membership of each WG is open to all wiki users, with some monitoring from WG coordinators. The coordinators are community members of recognized expertise who have volunteered to serve in this position. Their role is to organize discussions and check progress of other WGs to ensure maximum uniformity.
The primary goal of WGs is to standardize how paleoclimate data are described and shared.
The process is defined here and the specific charge emanating from the first workshop on paleoclimate data standards is outlined on this page. Each WG should take up these questions as relevant to their interests; to ensure that common solutions are designed, WG coordinators will regularly check-in with each other and with LinkedEarth leadership.
Each WG operates by consensus. Wiki polls track the answers to specific questions.
