Data Observation Network for Earth (DataONE) is the foundation of new innovative environmental science through a distributed framework and sustainable cyberinfrastructure that meets the needs of science and society for open, persistent, robust, and secure access to well-described and easily discovered Earth observational data
Best Practice:
The research project description should contain the following information:
- Who: project personnel (principal investigator, researchers, technicians, others)
- Where: location and description of study site or sites
- When: range of dates for the project
- Why: rational for the project (abstract)
- How: description of project methods
Other useful information might include the project title, the overarching project (if any), institution(s) involved, and source of funding.
Description Rationale:
The project description provides essential background information and context for the dataset.
