Transcript

1. Camtrap DP A frictionless data exchange format for camera trapping

   data Peter Desmet Ben Norton Jakub Bubnicki TDWG 22 October 2021 0000-0002-8442-8025 0000-0002-5819-9134 0000-0002-2064-3113

2. - Wildlife monitoring technique - Non-invasive - Well-established - Enables

   study of animal abundance, distribution, behaviour - Data-intensive: lots of images or videos Camera trapping

3. - Data management platforms - Upload and manage data -

   Annotate with species identifications (often using image recognition) - Limited data exchange between platforms - Limited data publication from platforms Data are well-managed, not shared Agouti Wildlife Insights TRAP PER eMam mal

4. - Does not capture full scope - Project setup -

   Camera setup - Blank, vehicle, unknown sequences of images - Star schema too limited to capture all relationships - Camera trap researchers do not recognize data model Darwin Core (Archive)? Agouti Wildlife Insights TRAP PER eMam mal Darwin Core (Archive)?

5. - “Camera Trap Data Package” - Designed to capture all

   essential data and metadata of a single camera trap study - Model to exchange camera trapping data - Format to exchange camera trapping data Camtrap DP

6. - Metadata about project Camtrap DP model Project / Study

   img 1 grey heron img 2 grey heron img 3 blank seq 1 moorhen seq 1 coot gbif.org/occurrence/3045046810 gbif.org/occurrence/3045043163 - Deployments: start/end date, location, camera info - Media: file path/url, timestamp, sequence - Observations: blank, or animal of certain species, count, sex, ...

7. - Metadata as datapackage.json - Project metadata - Package structure

   - Deployments as csv - Media as csv - Observations as csv Camtrap DP format datapackage .json media.csv observations .csv deployments .csv sequenceID mediaID deploymentID deploymentID

8. - Developed by Frictionless Data - Set of open specifications

   (JSON schemas) that can be combined - Data Package for datasets - Data Resource for data files - Table Schema for table fields - Simple, machine-usable & extensible Using Frictionless Standards specs.frictionlessdata.io

9. - Open, versioned, collaborative - Camtrap DP profile (extends Data

   Package) - Project metadata - Spatial, temporal, taxonomic scope - 3 Table Schemas - Fields, definitions, data types, controlled vocabularies - Relationships Camtrap DP development github.com/tdwg/camtrap-dp

12. - Lossy transformation to Darwin Core possible and documented -

    Dublin/Darwin Core term equivalents indicated in rdfType - Direct GBIF harvesting in the future? Darwin Core doi.org/10.15468/5tb6ze bit.ly/dwc-for-biologging-camtrap-dp

13. - Capture essential data and metadata of a camera trap

    study - Data exchange model and format - Uses Frictionless Standards - Data Package (extended) - Data Resource - Table Schema (extended) - Built-in validation - Open, versioned and collaborative Summary tdwg.github.io/camtrap-dp
