I have also interjected a few questions for clarification as well. They are mostly the same set of questions across all three data packages. Puerto Rico 0161544 -Bounding Box Please verify that the bounding box is correct? North Coordinate seems off visually when looking at the map of the island. - Observation types: We want to confirm this observation type. Based on it's definition I'm not sure that you are using it correctly. I've seen it most frequently used in the documents only accessions were one accession contains all of the documents related to an automated series of accessions. The documents only accession is referenced from the series of data accessions. It was created so the same document didn't need to be stored 100+ times in the individual data accessions. As this accession contains actual data not sure it's appropriate o documentation only - no observation type Definition - use this observation type to define objects to characterize archive objects that contain only documentation (e.g., programs, transaction logs) but no observational data Is it ok with you if we use ‘Survey’ as the Observation Type instead? - Instrument Type · Is the documentation only entry correct? Again not sure if it's meant for accessions that contain data. There is an instrument used in this data collection it's just not part of the controlled vocabulary. Can you list an instrument type for this data package? - CoRIS Keywords This data package is missing the Ocean Basic keywords https://www.coris.noaa.gov/data/keywords/atlantic_ocean.pdf For every CoRIS place keyword listed there needs to be a matching pair of Country/Territory and Ocean Basin keywords. A match is indicated by the code at the end of the keyword Example COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Puerto Rico > Aguadilla (18N067W0012) OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > Caribbean Sea /North Atlantic Ocean > Puerto Rico > Aguadilla (18N067W0012) -ISO Topic Category All of the terms listed in her file "NCRMP-Socio-PuertoRico-2015_DataDocumentation.pdf" aren't in the ISO record. Do they need to be? - The terms in the ISO Topic Category in the file "NCRMP-Socio-PuertoRico-2015_DataDocumentation.pdf" were not included in the S2N package. Would you like them added to the ISO record ? Hawaii 0161545 -Title vs. Time Extent There are two different date ranges between the title and time extent section. One says data collection started in January while the other says data collection started in November. From the Sampling and Analyzing Methods, it appears that the dates should all be November, but we wanted to double check the dates with you. -CoRIS Place Keywords Same comment as above on missing Ocean Keywords. Pacific Ocean Keywords can be found here https://www.coris.noaa.gov/data/keywords/pacific_ocean.pdf -Observation Type - documents only choice same comment as above -Instrument Type · Is the documentation only entry correct?
