  4. 1. The IAS/wildlife management data landscape 1. The reporting demands

    of the EU IAS regulation 2. What do management data look like? 3. The LIFE RIPARIAS perspective
  5. 1.1 The reporting demands of the EU IAS regulation Objective

    Method Effectiveness Non-target effects Comment box
  6. 1.1 The reporting demands of the EU IAS regulation Method

  7. 1.1 The reporting demands of the EU IAS regulation Non-target

    effects (on other species) https://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/help/ias_regulation/material/IAS-guidelines
  8. 1.2 What do management data look like? 1. No recording

    of management activities 2. On personal laptop in spreadsheet
  9. 1.2. Issues related to management data 1. Management reporting is

    performed with different objectives and at different levels a. Within managerial organisations b. For project funders (e.g. Life) c. Upscaling needed for international reporting 2. Not all management actions are recorded 3. Not centrally stored within organisation 4. No flexibility in recording management of different taxa 5. Management data is not consistently recorded and prone to interpretation 6. Management data is not interoperable within and between organisations 7. Management data is not open
  10. 1.3 The LIFE RIPARIAS perspective Goals 1. Improve data flows

    from surveillance systems 2. Develop clear guidelines and objective criteria for prioritising management actions ◦ rapid eradication ◦ containment of populations ◦ maintenance of pest free areas 3. Improve data flows from management actions to policy-makers by monitoring and assessing IAS management effectiveness in support of the EU IAS reporting regulation 4. Promote the replication of the evidence-based workflow for IAS management decision making in Europe
  11. 1.3 The LIFE RIPARIAS perspective Action A.2 Improve data flow

    for management reporting 1. A.2.1 Business analysis of IAS management reporting with managers 2. A.2.2 Develop a system to report on management actions & effectiveness Survey of current field management data systems: Which species are managed? How are management methods described? management impact, non-target effects and management effort Which technology/application is used to enter and store field management data? What is the management data flow within the organization? Are the field management data compliant with international standards? Who has access to the management data?
  12. 1.3 The LIFE RIPARIAS perspective Solution 1. Start developing an

    open and community driven data exchange format 2. Generic enough to fit most of the management registration needs 3. Targeted enough to be fit-for-purpose for EU Reporting Issues 1. Many managers use already a reporting system (typically expensive and closed): data model not present, ad hoc 2. Are managers willing to change report system? Choice at organization level
  13. 2. Data exchange format 1. Data exchange format: concept 2.

    Example 1: Darwin Core Archive 3. Example 2: camtrapdp
  14. 2.1 Data exchange format: concept 1. Data can be shared

    between different entities 2. A good exchange format: low information loss while (un)packaging format A standard packaging Format B standard unpackaging A B
  15. 2.2 Example 1: Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A) 1. Standard for

    packaging and publishing biodiversity data 2. A DwC-A contains a number of text files, including data tables formatted as csv 3. Star schema with a single core table and optional extension tables
  16. 2.2 Example 1: Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A) 1. It uses

    Darwin Core (DwC) terms. Examples: scientificName, estabilishmentMeans, pathway https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/
  17. 2.3 Example 2: Camtrap DP 1. “Camera Trap Data Package”

    2. Designed to capture all essential data and metadata of a single camera trap study 3. Model to exchange camera trapping data 4. Format to exchange camera trapping data https://bit.ly/3JvdPB4
  18. 2.3 Example 2: Camtrap DP https://bit.ly/3JvdPB4 gbif.org/occurrence/3045046810 gbif.org/occurrence/3045043163 Model 1.

    Metadata about project 2. Deployments: start/end date, location, camera info 3. Media: file path/url, timestamp, sequence 4. Observations: blank, or animal of certain species, count, sex, ... Project / Study img 1 grey heron img 2 grey heron img 3 blank seq 1 moorhen seq 1 coot
  19. https://bit.ly/3JvdPB4 Format 1. Metadata as datapackage.json ◦ Project metadata ◦

    Package structure 2. Deployments as csv 3. Media as csv 4. Observations as csv 2.3 Example 2: Camtrap DP datapackage .json media.csv observations .csv deployments .csv sequenceID mediaID deploymentID deploymentID
  20. https://bit.ly/3JvdPB4 Using Frictionless Standards 1. Developed by Frictionless Data 2.

    Set of open specifications (JSON schemas) that can be combined: 3. Data Package for datasets 4. Data Resource for data files 5. Table Schema for table fields 6. Simple, machine-usable & extensible 2.3 Example 2: Camtrap DP

    1. Data model and format 2. Details
  23. 3.1 Data model and format Tabular data (tables) Model 1.

    Metadata about project: project title, organizations, start, end, target taxa, … 2. Actions: type, start/end datetime, organism target, organism quantity (removed) 3. Evaluations: datetime, descriptive evaluation, organism target, organism quantity (present) 4. Persons: name, email, organization, role,
  24. 3.2 Model and format overview Format 1. Metadata as datapackage.json
