We are pleased to let you know about the workshop FAIR Data Practices for Ship-based Ocean Time Series that will be held on 9-12 January 2024 at BIOS in Bermuda and will bring together globally distributed ship-based ocean time series representatives who are interested and committed to FAIR data practices with data managers and experts in semantic web technologies with the following objectives:

  • Share and vet newly drafted biogeochemical and biological use cases for adoption by the broader METS community
  • Work with participating time series representatives to implement these use cases for their time series programs
  • Co-develop best practices for responsible use of ocean time series datasets (as a contribution to the Ocean Best Practices System repository)
  • Share new findings and update recommendations on sampling and analytical protocols from the 2012 Bermuda Time Series Methods Workshop
  • Explore mechanisms (and identify champions!) for engaging broader stakeholders (managers, educators, etc.) in the use of ocean time series data sets
  • Start planning (and identify champions!) for an Ocean HackWeek for ocean time series data

Registration will open in Fall 2023. For more information please read the original announcement: https://www2.whoi.edu/site/mets-rcn/projects/fair-ship-based-ocean-time-series-international-workshop/
