| Abstract: |

Data Quality
| Accuracy: |
Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Data were entered into spreadsheets and checked against the raw data sheet to avoid entry errors |
|---|---|
| Quality Control Procedures Employed: |
Quality control was provided by comparing field data sheets and specimen identification (ID) sheets against the entered data print-out. One biologist read from the field data or specimen ID sheet while a second biologist checked the entered data. Corrections were made at this time and saved. The project data manager also examined and sorted the QCd data in a variety of ways to look for outliers, missing data, and other potential errors. |
Data Management
| Have Resources for Management of these Data Been Identified?: | No |
|---|---|
| Approximate Percentage of Budget for these Data Devoted to Data Management: | 0 |
| Do these Data Comply with the Data Access Directive?: | Yes |
| Is Access to the Data Limited Based on an Approved Waiver?: | Yes |
| If Distributor (Data Hosting Service) is Needed, Please Indicate: | No |
| Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Dissemination: | 365 |
| If Delay is Longer than Latency of Automated Processing, Indicate Under What Authority Data Access is Delayed: |
This data is currently wavered under the current NOAA guidelines for relational databases. |
| Actual or Planned Long-Term Data Archive Location: | To Be Determined |
| If To Be Determined, Unable to Archive, or No Archiving Intended, Explain: |
The archival process is currently under development. |
| Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Archiving: | 365 |
| How Will the Data Be Protected from Accidental or Malicious Modification or Deletion Prior to Receipt by the Archive?: |
The data resides on a secure government network requiring multi-factor authentication for network access. |
Lineage
Process Steps
Process Step 1
| Description: |
After sample collection, laboratory and field data were entered into an Excel spreadsheet or data base file (DBF) using database manager software and a text file was created to describe these data and associated variables. Entered data were checked against field data sheets to minimize entry errors. Samples were processed in the laboratory. After samples were sorted, and specimens identified and measured, information was entered into an Excel spreadsheet or DBF file, and printed out. Quality control was provided by comparing entered data against the specimen identification (ID) sheet by one biologist reading from the ID sheet and a second biologist checking the data print-out. Corrections were made at this time, saved, and a back-up copy made. Hard copies of the files were then printed, and provided to the Principal Investigator. A print-out was also stored in the project folder along with the original field and laboratory data sheets. |
