Thanks a lot Sarah for providing the link. I don't think I've received the email yet.


A couple of comments/questions;


- The title has a typo in it "as part of the he Advanced".

- The cited authors section cites my name. Shouldn't it be all the slide contributors and Esther Peters?

Please see my other comments in-line in blue.

Thanks,
Krishna.

Hi Krishna,

I wanted to provide the URL for the first accession that we are working on just in case the system didn't send you an email. 
https://data.nodc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/iso?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0172093 

I had originally created a place holder accession in the archive to store the images that I had received from Mark and I'm not exactly sure on the communication from S2N when submissions get mapped to existing accessions. That said the accession is still a work in progress as I'm noticing a typo in the title as I'm composing the email.

Couple of comments/questions

1) Spaces in file names

I've replaced the spaces in file and directory names with underscores. This allows us to give you a permanent URL to each file which is what I think you guys want. You could still link to the images with the spaces but the URLs could potentially change every time the IT staff updates a server or drive. Let me know if I'm wrong on assuming the need for permanent file level URLs.

I'm good with this. As long as both the SVS files and the corresponding XML files end up with the same name (after spaces are replaced with underscores).

2) Metadata/Documentation files

I see you included the spreadsheet in the S2N submission. Would you like us to also include the XML representations of the metadata that you had previously provided by email? Happy to include either format and/or both depending on your preference. Just need guidance.

Yes, please include the XML files too. The spreadsheet provides a consolidated view but the individual XML files describing each SVS file can go along with the SVS files themselves in the same folder.

3) Keywords

I've provided a google link to our thoughts on keywords

These are the types of keywords I've added
NODC keywords (are controlled archive vocabulary tables). We can modify these a bit but have less control over them
CoRIS keywords
GCMD keywords
Genus/Species keywords from the data files
Corresponding Genus/Species based on the World Register of Marine Species

Happy to take any other keyword suggestions that you guys have. I decided to also list the WORM equivalent names for the species because some of the accepted names have changed since the samples were collected. That said I think Cheryl/Esther may want to check on a couple of species names. There were close matches in WORMS on a few and my guess is that there may be typos in the original documentation file but not being a biologist I will defer to the experts for that decision (I've flagged the ones I had in question on the Google Sheet).

Anyway I leave for vacation later today so this will likely be published at some point during the first week of August at the earliest so there isn't time pressure to respond today.

Best,
Sarah
