|Underway temperature and salinity data was collected along the cruise track with two autonomous measurement systems. Usually, the systems are changed after 12 hours. While temperature is taken at the water inlet in about 6.5 m depth, salinity is estimated within the interior measurement container from conductivity and interior temperature.
Salinities are calibrated against discrete reference data obtained from water samples along the cruise track. This calibration is performed independently for both measurement containers. Eventually one time series is estimated for temperature and salinity.

=== List of Authors ===
Usually, the list of authors of Underway Data contains the '''scientist responsible for the sampling device''' and the '''chief scientist'''. However, a final regulation on how to proceed with the list of authors in all Underway Data sets in the same way is still pending. The same goes for the PI, the contact person responsible for the data.

=== Dataset Title ===
The title of the data publication should be generalized and is defined by the specific '''[ship]''', '''[cruise]''' and '''[device]''' (see [[#PANGAEA Data Submission Form Example]]).
=== Abstract ===
For Underway Data, a '''generalized Abstract''' per device may be created that will be adapted to each dataset regarding '''[ship]''', '''[cruise]''' and certain peculiarities. For more information on what needs to be included in a PANGAEA data publication abstract see [https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Ticket_System this page].
=== References ===
Several references may be of importance for Underway Data.
==== Cruise Report ====
The '''Cruise Report''' is usually already archived at the Technische Informationsbibliothek and will be linked to the dataset by a data curator (see [https://doi.org/10.2312/cr_msm88 this example]).
==== Data Processing Report ====
The '''Data Processing Report''' contains information on processing and quality control procedures. It enables to reproduce the processed data from raw data. The preferred format for submission is pdf.

Example: '''Schlundt, Michael; Wölfl, Anne-Cathrin (2020):''' Continuous thermosalinograph oceanography along Maria S. Merian cruise MSM 88/2 - Data Processing Report. ''GEOMAR - Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel'', https://store.pangaea.de/Publications/Woelfl-Schlundt_2020/DAM_DataProcessingReport_MSM88_2.pdf

Currently, the Data Processing Reports are being archived at PANGAEA (except for reports for data obtained during Polarstern and Heincke cruises); A long-term solution will include the assignment of a doi for each Data Processing Report.
====Standard operating procedure report====
A Standard operating procedure (SOP) report is linked, which is published at Zenodo. The choice of SOP depends on the ship.

==== Raw Data ====
If possible, the raw data should be linked to the processed dataset. This link may lead to an external source, but it may also be an PANGAEA-internal link.
==== Further References ====
These may, for example, include Salinity samples as .txt files, netcdf files, etc. They will be stored on one of PANGAEA's servers and can be accessed via a link in the reference section of the data publication.
=== Further information ===
==== Cruise Label ====
The '''[Cruise] Label''' given should always include [ship]number/leg (e.g.: MSM88/2).
==== Event label(s) ====
The '''Event Label(s)''' should be part of each data submission. Event labels equal the station labels and provide meta-information for the data. The '''Underway Event Label''' is being created onboard and should always be used when referring to Underway Data (current exception: CTD Data - several events needed). The format of Event Labels format consists of the cruise label and the station ending: [ship]number/leg_station (e.g.: MSM88/2_0_Underway-2).
==== Device /Sensor ====
'''Information on the device''' used for measuring should also be provided, so it can be linked to the measured parameters.

==== Keywords/Project ====
Use "DAM:Underway Research Project" as project and technical keyword "DAMUnderwayResearch".

== Data Table ==
=== File name ===
A '''generalized file name''' should be used per device (see [[#PANGAEA Data Submission Form Example]])
=== File Formats ===
Possible file formats include .txt, .tab, .xlsx . The preferred file format is tab delimited text file with UTF-8 encoding.

=== Layout ===
Please do not include any header except '''column names'''. The '''decimal separator''' should be "." and the '''number of decimals''' should always reflect the measurement precision. Numbers, which are not available, are displayed as blanks in PANGAEA. They should be included as blanks, "NaN", "NA" or event "999.999" in the data table.
=== Parameters of the data table ===
This table gives an overview of how the '''parameter names and specifications''' will appear on the '''web''' and in the '''download file''' of the data. If possible, these names should be included in the submission data table. Also the '''format and unit''' of data should be submitted as displayed here. The '''methods,''' as specified in the submitted meta-information, will be included in the data publication by the data editor.

|Upper-ocean velocities along the cruise track of Maria S. Merian cruise MSM88/1 were continuously collected by a vessel-mounted Teledyne RD Instruments 75 kHz Ocean Surveyor ADCP. The transducer was located at 6 m below the water line. The instrument was operated in narrowband mode with 8 m bins and a blanking distance of 8 m, while 100 bins were recorded using a pulse of 1.45 seconds. The ship's velocity was calculated from position fixes obtained by the Global Positioning System (GPS). Heading, pitch and roll data from the ship's gyro platforms and the navigation data were used by the data acquistion software VmDas internally to convert ADCP velocities into earth coordinates. Accuracy of the ADCP velocities mainly depends on the quality of the position fixes and the ship's heading data. Further errors stem from a misalignment of the transducer with the ship's centerline. The ADCP data were processed using the Python-based DAM-ADCP software, adapted from the OSSI toolbox developed by GEOMAR Helmholtz-Zentrum für Ozeanforschung Kiel. The average interval was set to 60 seconds. Data post-processing included water track calibration of the misalignment angle (-47.1499° +/- 0.777°) and the amplitude (1.0106 +/- 0.0144) of the Ocean Surveyor signal. Velocity quality flagging is based on following threshold criteria: abs(UC) or abs(VC) > 2 m/s, rms(UC_z) or rms(VC_z) > 0.3.

=== List of Authors ===
Usually, the list of authors of Underway Data contains the '''scientist responsible for the sampling device,''' and the '''chief scientist'''. However, a final regulation on how to proceed with the list of authors in all Underway Data sets in the same way is still pending. The same goes for the PI, the contact person responsible for the data.

=== Dataset Title ===
The title of the data publication should be generalized and is defined by the specific '''[ship]''', '''[cruise]''' and '''[device]''' (see [[#PANGAEA Data Submission Form Example]]).
=== Abstract ===
For Underway Data, a '''generalized Abstract''' per device may be created that will be adapted to each dataset regarding '''[ship]''', '''[cruise]''' and certain peculiarities. For more information on what needs to be included in a PANGAEA data publication abstract, see [https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Ticket_System this page].
=== References ===
Several reference may be of importance for Underway Data.
==== Cruise Report ====
The '''Cruise Report''' is usually already archived at the Technische Informationsbibliothek and will be linked to the dataset by a data editor (see [https://doi.org/10.2312/cr_msm88 this example]).
==== Data Processing Report ====
The '''Data Processing Report''' contains information on processing and quality control procedures. It enables to reproduce the processed data from raw data. The preferred format for submission is pdf.

Example: '''Kopte, Robert (2020):''' ADCP current measurements (75 kHz) during Maria S. Merian cruise MSM88/1- Data Processing Report. ''Institute of Geosciences, Kiel University'', https://store.pangaea.de/Publications/Kopte-etal_2020/msm_88_1_vmadcp_75khz_01_proc_report.pdf

Currently, the Data Processing Reports are being archived at PANGAEA (except for reports for data obtained during Polarstern and Heincke cruises); A long-term solution will include the assignment of a doi for each Data Processing Report.

==== Standard operating procedure report ====
A Standard operating procedure (SOP) report is linked, which is published at Zenodo. The choice of SOP depends on ship and device.

|Physical oceanography data was acquired by a ship-based Seabird SBE911+ CTD-Rosette system onboard [ship] during research cruise [cruise label]. The CTD system is comprised of a Seabird SBE911Plus including dual respectively redundant sensor and pump packages. The SBE11plus Deck Unit remains on board in a laboratory and supplies on one hand power to the SBE9plus underwater unit, on the other hand data telemetry between the SBE9plus and a measurement PC. The SBE9plus underwater unit itself holds a pressure sensor and is interfacing with dual SEB3 temperature, SBE4 conductivity and SBE43 oxygen sensors and two SBE5 pumps to provide a pumped water supply past each sensor. The system also carries an optical FLNTU sensor to measure a combinations of back-scattering, turbidity, and chlorophyll-a. To quantify the photo-synthetically active radiation a PAR sensor is installed as well.

=== Templates for processed CTD data submissions[edit | edit source] ===
These templates may help for preparation of your data file:

* '''[https://store.pangaea.de/documentation/PANGAEA-Wiki/Templates/CTD_template.txt template in tab delimited text format (preferred)]'''; Additional meta information as name of the principal investigator and name of method and device are given as comments during the submission process.

* '''[https://store.pangaea.de/documentation/PANGAEA-Wiki/Templates/CTD_template.xlsx template in excel format]'''; Additional meta information as name of the principal investigator and name of method and device are either given as comments during the submission process or via an additional sheet in the excel file.

'''A few information on density in water:'''

Density = 1027.1234

Sigma = Density - 1000 = 27.1234

Density depends on pressure, temperature and salt content: Density = f(P,T,S)

As a rule, one considers the density (or sigma) and sets P = 0 and denotes this as sigma-theta.

If the potential temperature (theta) is used instead of the in-situ temperature T, then the result is the potential density or sigma-theta.

'''Density in situ''' ('' Note: "Density, mass density [kg/m³]" in our Editorial'') - should always have values around 1000 (e.g. 1027)

'''Density, potential''' [kg/m³] should also always have values around 1000 (e.g. 1027)

'''Density sigma-theta''' [kg/m³] should always have lower tens values, e.g. around 27

This page provides information on the requirements for submitting, archiving and publishing '''Conductivity, Temperature, Depth sonde (CTD) data''' to ensure fulfilling the '''[https://www.nature.com/articles/sdata201618 FAIR data principles]'''.

PANGAEA differentiates between raw data and processed data publications. The differences are explained below. Please note the extra paragraph on *.cnv files.

If you are preparing CTD data in the context of the [https://www.allianz-meeresforschung.de/en/activities/data-management-and-digitisation DAM Underway Research Data project], find specific project related details on this page: [[CTD Underway Data|CTD Underway data]].

==Standardized meta information==
The following information needs to be included in any '''data submission at PANGAEA'''. To start a data submission at PANGAEA go to https://www.pangaea.de/submit/ . '''Further information''' on the ticket system used for communication and documentation during the processing of the data submission can be found [https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Ticket_System in this wiki].
[[File:workflow_underway.png|frame|Workflow: Processing of a Data Submission]]
===List of authors===
Usually, the list of authors should contain the '''scientist responsible for the sampling device''', the '''chief scientist''' and the PI, the contact person responsible for the data.
===Dataset title===
The title should ideally reflect what has been measured, observed, or calculated, when, where, and how. If applicable, the title of the data publication should be generalized and is defined by the specific '''[ship]''', '''[cruise]''' and '''[device]'''.
===[https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Abstract Abstract]===
In general, a '''generalized abstract''' is mandatory to each dataset regarding '''[ship]''', '''[cruise]''' and certain peculiarities. For more information on what needs to be included in a PANGAEA data publication abstract see [https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Ticket_System this page].
===[https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Reference References]===
Several references may be of importance for the dataset.

==== Cruise report ====
If a '''cruise report''' is available it is sometimes already archived at the [https://www.tib.eu/en/ Technische Informationsbibliothek] and might be linked to the dataset (see [https://doi.org/10.2312/cr_msm88 this example]).

====Data processing report ====
If a '''data processing report''' exists, it contains information on processing and quality control procedures. It enables to reproduce the processed data from raw data. The preferred format for submission is pdf (see [https://epic.awi.de/id/eprint/56595/ this example]).

Currently, the data processing reports are being archived at PANGAEA; A long-term solution will include the assignment of a doi for each data processing report.
====Linking between processed and raw data====
If possible, the raw data should be linked to the processed dataset and vice versa. This link may lead to an external source, but it may also be an PANGAEA-internal link (see this [https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.956146 example] ).
===Additional data files===
These may, for example, include additional *.cnv files in zip format, protocol files in pdf format, salinity measurements as .txt files, etc. They will be stored on one of PANGAEA's servers and can be accessed via a link to the data publication (see this [https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.953836 example]).
===Further information===
====Cruise label====
The '''[cruise] label''' usually includes [ship]number/leg (e.g.: MSM88/1). Please provide further information on the cruise (synonyms: ''campaign, expedition, leg'') as described in https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Campaign. You may also check the [https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Campaign#CAMPAIGN_list_of_ships_in_PANGAEA overview table of campaigns] and the existing labels.
====Event label(s)====
The '''[https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Event event label(s)]''' should be part of each data submission. Event labels equal the station labels and provide meta-information for the data. An Event Label consists of the cruise label and the station ending: [ship]number/leg_station (e.g.: [https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/events/HE605 HE605_1-1]).
====Device/Sensor====
'''Information on the device''' used for measuring should also be provided, so it can be linked to the measured parameters (see this [https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.950213 example]).

==Processed Data==
Processed data are prepared for submission following the [[Authors Guides]], which includes

* date and time information in ISO format (e.g. 1954-04-07T13:34:11) in coordinated universal time (UTC)
* 3 dimensional [[geocode]]: latitude/longitude in decimal degree (WGS84) and water depth of CTD
* an [[event]] for each CTD cast
* full [[Parameter|parameter names]] (no abbreviations) including units
* standardized meta information (see above).

=== Examples of a processed CTD data publication===
Physical oceanography during RV HEINCKE cruise HE609: https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.961721.

Physical Oceanography measured with CTD on Triaxus topAWI (towed ocean profiler of the AWI) during MERIAN cruise MSM93: https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.940010.

=== File name===
If CTD profiles are provided as individual data files, please name them after their events (see the '''Event label(s)''' paragraph above).
===File formats===
Possible file formats include .txt, .tab, .xlsx . The preferred file format is tab-delimited text file. The encoding is preferably UTF-8.
===Layout===
Please do not include any header except '''column names'''. The '''decimal separator''' should be "." and the '''number of decimals''' should always reflect the measurement precision. Not available numbers are displayed as blanks in PANGAEA. Preferably, the submitted data contains blanks. Alternatives such as "NaN", "NA" are acceptable in the data table.
=== Parameters and meta data information in the data table (example)===
This table gives an overview on the '''parameter names and specifications''' as they will appear on the '''web''' and in the '''download file''' of the data. If possible, these names should be included in the submission data table. Also the '''format and unit''' of data should be submitted as displayed here. The '''methods''' will be included in the data publication by the data editor as specified in the submitted meta-information.

=== Templates for processed CTD data submissions ===
These templates may help for preparation of your data file:

[[Media:CTD template.tsv| '''template in tab delimited text format (preferred)''']]

Additional meta information as name of the principal investigator and name of method and device are given as comments during the submission process.

[[Media:CTD template.xlsx| '''template in excel format''']]

Additional meta information as name of the principal investigator and name of method and device are either given as comments during the submission process or via an additional sheet in the excel file.

'''A few information on density in water:'''

Density = 1027.1234 kg/m³

Sigma = Density - 1000 = 27.1234 kg/m³

Density depends on pressure, temperature and salt content: Density = f(P,T,S)

As a rule, one considers the density (or sigma) and sets P = 0 and denotes this as sigma-theta.

If the potential temperature (theta) is used instead of the in-situ temperature T, then the result is the potential density or sigma-theta.

'''Density in situ''' ('' Note: "Density, mass density [kg/m³]" in the ES'') - should always have values around 1000 (e.g. 1027)

'''Density, potential''' [kg/m³] should also always have values around 1000 (e.g. 1027)

'''Density sigma-theta''' [kg/m³] should always have lower tens values, e.g. around 27

'''Density, sigma, in situ''' [kg/m³] should also have lower tens values, e.g. around 27

Further information on parameters: https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Parameter.

== Raw Data ==
CTDs produce several raw files in various formats. The output of raw data varies depending on the preferences set by the CTD user.

A minimum set of the following files for each cast are needed for a raw data publication:

* bottle information file *.bl
* sensor configuration including calibration information file *.xmlcon
* header file containing meta data on CTD system, position and time *.hdr
* CTD raw data in hexadecimal format file *.hex

Optional additional files:

* bottle data *.btl
* summary file in text format *.cnv
* protocol sheet/file *.pdf

=== Example of a CTD raw data publication===
Raw data of physical oceanography during RV POLARSTERN cruises PS130/1 and PS130/2. https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.957843.

=== File name ===
Please name each individual data file after its event (see the '''Event label(s)''' paragraph above).

== The special case of *cnv files ==
Some CTDs provide *cnv files consisting of a meta data summary plus raw data translated to text format which might include flagging. This data type is neither considered raw data nor processed data. Please see a detailed description on raw and processed data in the paragraphs above.

If you like to archive *.cnv files along with either raw or processed data submissions, you can do so as additional optional files. These will be either listed together with other [[CTD#Raw Data|raw data files]] or linked as a zipped [[CTD#Additional data files|additional file]].

=== List of Authors ===
Usually, the list of authors of Underway Data contains the '''scientist responsible for the sampling device''', and the '''chief scientist'''. However, a final regulation on how to proceed with the list of authors in all Underway Data sets in the same way is still pending. The same goes for the PI, the contact person responsible for the data.

=== Dataset Title ===
The title of the data publication should be generalized and is defined by the specific '''[ship]''', '''[cruise]''' and '''[device]''' (see [[#PANGAEA Data Submission Form Example]]).
=== Abstract ===
For Underway Data, a '''generalized Abstract''' per device may be created that will be adapted to each dataset regarding '''[ship]''', '''[cruise]''' and certain peculiarities. For more information on what needs to be included in a PANGAEA data publication abstract, see [https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Ticket_System this page].
=== References ===
Several references may be of importance for Underway Data.
==== Cruise Report ====
The '''Cruise Report''' is usually already archived at the Technische Informationsbibliothek and will be linked to the dataset by a data editor (see [https://doi.org/10.2312/cr_msm88 this example]).
==== Data Processing Report ====
The '''Data Processing Report''' contains information on processing and quality control procedures. It enables to reproduce the processed data from raw data. The preferred format for submission is pdf (see [https://epic.awi.de/id/eprint/50046/ this example]).

Currently, the Data Processing Reports are being archived at PANGAEA (except for reports for data obtained during Polarstern and Heincke cruises); A long-term solution will include the assignment of a doi for each Data Processing Report. Templates for Data Processing Reports are currently being revised/created within DAM.
==== Raw Data ====
If possible, the raw data should be linked to the processed dataset. This link may lead to an external source, but it may also be an PANGAEA-internal link.
==== Further References ====
These may, for example, include Salinity samples as .txt files, netcdf files, etc. They will be stored on one of PANGAEA's servers and can be accessed via a link in the reference section of the data publication.
=== Further information ===
==== Cruise Label ====
The '''[Cruise] Label''' given should always include [ship]number/leg (e.g.: MSM88/1).
==== Event label(s) ====
The '''Event Label(s)''' should be part of each data submission. Event labels equal the station labels and provide meta-information for the data. The '''Underway Event Label''' is being created onboard and should always be used when referring to Underway Data (current exception: CTD Data - several events needed). The format of Event Labels format consists of the cruise label and the station ending: [ship]number/leg_station (e.g.: PS122/3_0_Underway-11).
==== Device /Sensor ====
'''Information on the device''' used for measuring should also be provided, so it can be linked to the measured parameters.

==== Keywords/Project ====
Use "DAM:Underway Research Project" as project and technical keyword "DAMUnderwayReserach".

== Data Table ==
=== File name ===
A '''generalized file name''' should be used per device (see [[#PANGAEA Data Submission Form Example]])
=== File Formats ===
Possible file formats include .txt, .tab, .csv, .xlsx . The encoding is preferably UTF-8.
=== Layout ===
Please do not include any header except '''column names'''. The '''decimal separator''' should be "." and the '''number of decimals''' should always reflect the measurement precision. Numbers, which are not available, are displayed as blanks in PANGAEA. They should be included as blanks, "NaN", "NA" or event "999.999" in the data table.
=== Parameters of the data table ===
This table gives an overview of how the '''parameter names and specifications''' will appear on the '''web''' and in the '''download file''' of the data. If possible, these names should be included in the submitted data table. Also the '''format and unit''' of data should be submitted as displayed here. The '''methods''', as specified in the submitted meta-information, will be included in the data publication by the data editor.

Kriemann: corrected broken link

[[#Data set|Data sets]] published in PANGAEA are usually associated with the sampling '''Event''' from which the investigated samples originated. Each Event is unique in terms of location and time and must be identifiable by its [[Metadata|metadata]]. For further instructions on how to prepare Event and data tables for PANGAEA, see [[Best practice manuals and templates]]. Providing detailed Event information is generally mandatory, but in a few cases, data published in PANGAEA does not have to be georeferenced (e.g., if the origin of samples used for laboratory experiments is unknown).
[[File:Event webpage.PNG|thumb|800 px|Event information in the data set metaheader at PANGAEA website]]

== Event nomenclature ==
*Event labels are '''identical''' to those that appear in a journal publication, expedition reports or in [[Station lists]]. Events often already exist when they are part of international expeditions (e.g. [https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/byproject/IODP IODP] / [https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/byproject/ ODP]) or cruises organized by PANGAEA host institutes (MARUM, AWI). Lists of existing Events as part of the Cruise inventory and cruise data of German research vessels can be found at the [https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/ PANGAEA Expeditions page]. For already available station lists of other ships see the campaign listing here: [[Campaign#CAMPAIGN%20list%20of%20ships%20in%20PANGAEA|Campaign lists with links to station lists.]] To help accelerating the editorial workflow, please provide the respective [[Station lists]] to the data editors.
*Event labels are unique and must not contain blanks.
*For measurements that are not the subject of official sampling events, no strict nomenclature rules apply. The responsible data editor will help you with the nomenclature of the labels if necessary.

==Examples of Events==
* '''Stations/Sites''' (during a cruise, expedition, field campaign), e.g. Polarstern station "PS126_1-5" (PS126 = Cruise, 1-5 = station number-device operation), https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.940754
*'''Transects or Profiles''', e.g. Polarstern cruise track "PS122/3-track", https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.935223
* '''Time and space limited surveys''', e.g. remotely operated vehicle (ROV) survey "PS122/5_59-269", https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.954001
* '''Deployments of sampling devices/sensors''' (device operation ID), e.g. strain measurements on the ship structure sensor deployment "PS122/5_58-156", https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.942950
* '''Sediment core samples''', e.g. International ocean discovery program (IODP) core "382-U1537A", https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.939649
* '''Sampling or observation time series''', e.g. Helgoland MarGate underwater observatory time series "MarGate" (with optional label Helgoland-UWO), https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.934740
* '''Mappings''', e.g. glaciers permafrost mapping on "Hochebenkar", https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.802403
* '''Moorings/buoys''', e.g. GEOMAR mooring "MSM18/2_667-1" (with optional label KPO_1063), https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.923604
* '''Geographical origin of organisms''' (also of culture organisms), e.g. Collection site of Thalassiosira sp. strain CC_Sed "Kongsfjorden_CC_Sed", https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.954980
* '''Field experiments''' including mesocosm studies, e.g. Experiment on swimming kinematics of hering larvaes at the Espegrend Marine Station "Espegrend_Marine_Station", https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.874856
* '''Sample labels''', e.g. samples of bedrock collected for their age determination, "CN16-220", https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.939734

==Event metadata==
[[File:Sensor-URI.png|thumb|800 px|Attribute '''Sensor URI''' gives the link to sensor metadata information stored in Sensor information system https://sensor.awi.de/, see example: {{doi|10.1594/PANGAEA.925325}} ]]
* '''Label''' is the name of the event

Kriemann: replaced data set with dataset

=== Dataset ===
A dataset can be published as a self-standing publication (with no direct link to a scientific paper) or as an [[Talk:PANGAEA_publication_types#Supplement|independent supplement]] to a paper publication.

=== Collection ===
Several datasets (or even collections) can be grouped into data collections if they fulfill certain criteria. Below is an overview of collection types and their typical uses.

{| class="wikitable" style="font-size: 86%;"
|-
! Collection types !! Typical use !! Example !! Download datasets at once (zip)? !! Citation collection!! Citation individual dataset in a collection!! Re-use individual datasets for other collections?
|-
! Publication series
|| Homogeneous data collections (~identical data templates). Typically used for time series, new data can be added each year/month etc (an open series). Can also contain similar datasets collected at different locations. || Snow thickness measurements: {{doi|10.1594/PANGAEA.928966}} Georeferenced coral reef photographs: {{doi|10.1594/PANGAEA.877578}}|| yes || ''with possible title postfix of the period of time: '' Author(s) (year) Title year- / year-year.

=== Supplement===
If data (a dataset or a data collection) is submitted as a supplement to an article, the reference of the related scientific paper is indicated in the dataset/collection (with the relation "Supplement to:"). The dataset (collection) should then also be cited in the reference list of the related manuscript. The publication process of both, the article and the related data, should be synchronized. Therefore the data should be submitted to PANGAEA at the time of the paper submission, or ideally even earlier. A password protection for the data can be in place until the related article is accepted/published.

=== Supplement===
If data (a data set or a data collection) is submitted as a supplement to an article, the reference of the related scientific paper is indicated in the data set/collection (with the relation "Supplement to:"). The data set (collection) should then also be cited in the reference list of the related manuscript. The publication process of both, the article and the related data, should be synchronized. Therefore the data should be submitted to PANGAEA at the time of the paper submission, or ideally even earlier. A password protection for the data can be in place until the related article is accepted/published.

=== Data set ===
A data set can be published as a self-standing publication (with no direct link to a scientific paper) or as an [[Talk:PANGAEA_publication_types#Supplement|independent supplement]] to a paper publication.

=== Collection ===
Several data sets (or even collections) can be grouped into data collections if they fulfill certain criteria. Below is an overview of collection types and their typical uses.

{| class="wikitable" style="font-size: 86%;"

Kriemann:

=Basic search=
[[Image:PANGAEA search 2018-07.PNG|thumb|200px|Search field on PANGAEA home]]

The most convenient and fastest way to find data is using the search engine on [http://www.pangaea.de/ PANGAEA home].
Each predefined dataset in its granularity as defined by the PI can be found by keywords and any expressions matching the data set description. Search is supported by an autocomplete functionality. Keywords can be
combined to create [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_expression Boolean expressions] using a syntax identical to those used by search engines.

As a result of a query the titles of datasets are listed, linking to the full meta-description.

By prefixing keywords (using the format "prefix:keyword") with a tag name from the [[PANGAEA XML schema]] the search can be performed inside specific parts of the schema. Exceptions from that are schema parts like "attribute" and "reference" which are not searchable this way.

=Filtering of search results=

[[Image:PANGAEA search 2 2018-07.PNG|thumb|200px|Filtering of search results]]
The results of search can be filtered using facets in the left panel:
* [[Staff|Dataset Author]]
* Dataset Publication Year
* Topic
* [[Project]]
* [[Basis]]
* [[Method|Method/Device]]
* [[Campaign]] and
* Location

[[Image:PANGAEA geographical filter by 2018-07.PNG|thumb|200px|Filtering of search results]]
Additionally, the search results can be filtered by:
* Geographical coordinates and
* Date

=Advanced search=

'''Choosing search terms'''

When choosing search terms keep in mind:
* Try the obvious first. If you're looking for information on the grain size of sediment, enter "grain size" rather than "sediments"
* Use words likely to appear on a site with the information you want. "Holocene ice Lazarev" gets better results than "Holocene ice extension from the Lazarev Sea shelf".

'''Capitalization'''

PANGAEA searches are NOT case sensitive. All letters, regardless of how you type them, will be understood as lower case. For example, searches for "marine geology", "Marine Geology", and "mArInE gEoLoGy" will all return the same results.

'''Using query operators'''

PANGAEA Search uses per default the "AND" logic to combine the search terms. This means that all entered terms must be in the searched documents. To find documents that contain either one or another term (or both) concatenate by "OR". For example, enter "falconensis OR bulloides" to get all datasets that contain one of the terms.

The use of "AND" between keywords is optional. If you want to combine "AND" and "OR", use brackets - for example: "Globigerina AND (falconensis OR bulloides)".

'''Excluding searches by using "-"'''

To exclude certain keywords add a minus sign ("-") immediately before the search term you want to avoid (be sure to include a space before the minus sign).

'''Approximate searches'''

If you do not exactly know the spelling of a word, you may want to search not only for a particular keyword, but also for variants in spelling. Indicate a search for all by placing the tilde sign ("~") immediately in front of the keyword.

'''Wildcards'''

Wildcards allow a substitution of unknown characters in the item used for searching. The following table describes the wildcard characters and their attributes:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Wildcard !! Function !! Syntax !! Locates
|-
| ? || Specifies one alphanumeric character.|| m?ller || "müller", "miller", and "muller"
|-
| * || Specifies zero or more of any alphanumeric character. You should not use the asterisk to specify the first character of a wildcard-character string (slow search).|| corp*|| "corporate", "corporation", "corporal", and "corpulent"
|}

'''Phrase searches'''

Search for complete phrases by enclosing them in quotation marks. Words enclosed in double quotes ("like this") will appear together in all results exactly as you have entered them. Phrase searches are especially useful when searching for phrases or full names.

'''Searches in specific fields'''

[[PANGAEA XML schema]] can be used for specific queries using the PANGAEA search engine.
Search for keywords in specific fields by putting a the field name with a ':' immediately in front of the term you want to match. Exceptions from that are schema parts like "attribute" and "reference" which are not searchable this way, instead references can be searched using the reference relation type (e.g., "supplementto" or "relatedto"). Inside attributes can also be searched by using their name as field in front of the term. The most used field names are:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Field name !! Function
|-
| project:|| Search for keywords in [[Project|projects]]
|-
| project:label:|| Matches a project label
|-
| author:|| Search for authors of datasets or assigned references
|-
| citation:author:|| Search for authors of datasets only in the citation
|-
| pi:|| Search for datasets with Principal Investigator (PI)
|-
| citation:|| Search for keywords in the [[citation]]
|-
| relatedto:|| Search for keywords in assigned "Related to" [[Reference|references]].
|-
| supplementto:|| Search for keywords in assigned "Supplement to" [[Reference|references]].
|-
| year:|| Search for datasets or assigned references published in a specific year
|-
|citation:year:
|Search for datasets only published in a specific year
|-
| parameter:|| Search for keywords in [[parameter]] names
|-
| method:|| Search for keywords in [[method]] names
|-
| event:label:|| Search for [[event]] labels
|-
|basis:
|Search for [[basis]] eg. ship or research station
|-
|campaign:
|Search for reasearch [[Campaign|campaigns]]
|-
|topic:
|Search for [[Topic|topics]]
|-
|[https://www.pangaea.de/?q=O2ARegistryURI%3A* O2ARegistryURI:*]
|Search for datasets with a O2A Registry URI (link to registry.awi.de). This is an example of a special case for attributes and uses plain wildcard to find all datasets where the specific field is actually used.

'''PANGAEA Search Results'''

The results page shows a list of abbreviated dataset descriptions (thumbs) including the links to the full dataset description and links to download the dataset in either html or text format. The score gives an estimate on the relevance of the search result: a higher score means that the entered words can be found more often and closer together.

Datasets are listed with ordinal numbers and are shown in ten hits per page. Above and below the listing, one may click the page number or the NEXT (or PREV) link to see more results.

PANGAEA searches are NOT case sensitive. All letters, regardless of how you type them, will be understood as lower case. For example, searches for "marine geology", "Marine Geology", and "mArInE gEoLoGy" will all return the same results.

'''Using query operators'''

PANGAEA Search uses per default the "AND" logic to combine the search terms. This means that all entered terms must be in the searched documents. To find documents that contain either one or another term (or both) concatenate by "OR". For example, enter "falconensis OR bulloides" to get all datasets that contain one of the terms.

The use of "AND" between keywords is optional. If you want to combine "AND" and "OR", use brackets - for example: "Globigerina AND (falconensis OR bulloides)".

'''Excluding searches by using "-"'''

To exclude certain keywords add a minus sign ("-") immediately before the search term you want to avoid (be sure to include a space before the minus sign).

'''Approximate searches'''

If you do not exactly know the spelling of a word, you may want to search not only for a particular keyword, but also for variants in spelling. Indicate a search for all by placing the tilde sign ("~") immediately in front of the keyword.

'''Wildcards'''

Wildcards allow a substitution of unknown characters in the item used for searching. The following table describes the wildcard characters and their attributes:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Wildcard !! Function !! Syntax !! Locates
|-
| ? || Specifies one alphanumeric character.|| m?ller || "müller", "miller", and "muller"
|-
| * || Specifies zero or more of any alphanumeric character. You should not use the asterisk to specify the first character of a wildcard-character string (slow search).|| corp*|| "corporate", "corporation", "corporal", and "corpulent"
|}

'''Phrase searches'''

Search for complete phrases by enclosing them in quotation marks. Words enclosed in double quotes ("like this") will appear together in all results exactly as you have entered them. Phrase searches are especially useful when searching for phrases or full names.

'''Searches in specific fields'''

[[PANGAEA XML schema]] can be used for specific queries using the PANGAEA search engine.
Search for keywords in specific fields by putting a the field name with a ':' immediately in front of the term you want to match. Exceptions from that are schema parts like "attribute" and "reference" which are not searchable this way, instead references can be searched using the reference relation type (e.g., "supplementto" or "relatedto"). Inside attributes can also be searched by using their name as field in front of the term. The most used field names are:

'''PANGAEA Search Results'''

The results page shows a list of abbreviated dataset descriptions (thumbs) including the links to the full dataset description and links to download the dataset in either html or text format. The score gives an estimate on the relevance of the search result: a higher score means that the entered words can be found more often and closer together.

Datasets are listed with ordinal numbers and are shown in ten hits per page. Above and below the listing, one may click the page number or the NEXT (or PREV) link to see more results.

Kriemann: added "topic:"

=Basic search=
[[Image:PANGAEA search 2018-07.PNG|thumb|200px|Search field on PANGAEA home]]

The most convenient and fastest way to find data is using the search engine on [http://www.pangaea.de/ PANGAEA home].
Each predefined dataset in its granularity as defined by the PI can be found by keywords and any expressions matching the data set description. Search is supported by an autocomplete functionality. Keywords can be
combined to create [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_expression Boolean expressions] using a syntax identical to those used by search engines.

As a result of a query the titles of datasets are listed, linking to the full meta-description.

By prefixing keywords (using the format "prefix:keyword") with a tag name from the [[PANGAEA XML schema]] the search can be performed inside specific parts of the schema. Exceptions from that are schema parts like "attribute" and "reference" which are not searchable this way.

=Filtering of search results=

[[Image:PANGAEA search 2 2018-07.PNG|thumb|200px|Filtering of search results]]
The results of search can be filtered using facets in the left panel:
* [[Staff|Dataset Author]]
* Dataset Publication Year
* Topic
* [[Project]]
* [[Basis]]
* [[Method|Method/Device]]
* [[Campaign]] and
* Location

[[Image:PANGAEA geographical filter by 2018-07.PNG|thumb|200px|Filtering of search results]]
Additionally, the search results can be filtered by:
* Geographical coordinates and
* Date

'''Choosing search terms'''

When choosing search terms keep in mind:
* Try the obvious first. If you're looking for information on the grain size of sediment, enter "grain size" rather than "sediments"
* Use words likely to appear on a site with the information you want. "Holocene ice Lazarev" gets better results than "Holocene ice extension from the Lazarev Sea shelf".

'''Capitalization'''

|Upper-ocean velocities along the cruise track of Maria S. Merian cruise MSM88/1 were continuously collected by a vessel-mounted Teledyne RD Instruments 75 kHz Ocean Surveyor ADCP. The transducer was located at 6 m below the water line. The instrument was operated in narrowband mode with 8 m bins and a blanking distance of 8 m, while 100 bins were recorded using a pulse of 1.45 seconds. The ship's velocity was calculated from position fixes obtained by the Global Positioning System (GPS). Heading, pitch and roll data from the ship's gyro platforms and the navigation data were used by the data acquistion software VmDas internally to convert ADCP velocities into earth coordinates. Accuracy of the ADCP velocities mainly depends on the quality of the position fixes and the ship's heading data. Further errors stem from a misalignment of the transducer with the ship's centerline. The ADCP data were processed using the Python-based DAM-ADCP software, adapted from the OSSI toolbox developed by GEOMAR Helmholtz-Zentrum für Ozeanforschung Kiel. The average interval was set to 60 seconds. Data post-processing included water track calibration of the misalignment angle (-47.1499° +/- 0.777°) and the amplitude (1.0106 +/- 0.0144) of the Ocean Surveyor signal. Velocity quality flagging is based on following threshold criteria: abs(UC) or abs(VC) > 2 m/s, rms(UC_z) or rms(VC_z) > 0.3.

=== List of Authors ===
Usually, the list of authors of Underway Data contains the '''scientist responsible for the sampling device,''' and the '''chief scientist'''. However, a final regulation on how to proceed with the list of authors in all Underway Data sets in the same way is still pending. The same goes for the PI, the contact person responsible for the data.

=== Dataset Title ===
The title of the data publication should be generalized and is defined by the specific '''[ship]''', '''[cruise]''' and '''[device]''' (see [[#PANGAEA Data Submission Form Example]]).
=== Abstract ===
For Underway Data, a '''generalized Abstract''' per device may be created that will be adapted to each dataset regarding '''[ship]''', '''[cruise]''' and certain peculiarities. For more information on what needs to be included in a PANGAEA data publication abstract, see [https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Ticket_System this page].
=== References ===
Several reference may be of importance for Underway Data.
==== Cruise Report ====
The '''Cruise Report''' is usually already archived at the Technische Informationsbibliothek and will be linked to the dataset by a data editor (see [https://doi.org/10.2312/cr_msm88 this example]).
==== Data Processing Report ====
The '''Data Processing Report''' contains information on processing and quality control procedures. It enables to reproduce the processed data from raw data. The preferred format for submission is pdf.

Example: '''Kopte, Robert (2020):''' ADCP current measurements (75 kHz) during Maria S. Merian cruise MSM88/1- Data Processing Report. ''Institute of Geosciences, Kiel University'', https://store.pangaea.de/Publications/Kopte-etal_2020/msm_88_1_vmadcp_75khz_01_proc_report.pdf

Currently, the Data Processing Reports are being archived at PANGAEA (except for reports for data obtained during Polarstern and Heincke cruises); A long-term solution will include the assignment of a doi for each Data Processing Report.

==== Standard operating procedure report ====
A Standard operating procedure (SOP) report is linked, which is published at Zenodo. The choice of SOP depends on ship and device.

==== Raw Data ====
If possible, the raw data should be linked to the processed dataset. This link may lead to an external source, but it may also be an PANGAEA-internal link.
==== Further References ====
These may, for example, include Salinity samples as .txt files, netcdf files, etc. They will be stored on one of PANGAEA's servers and can be accessed via a link in the reference section of the data publication.
=== Further information ===
==== Cruise Label ====
The '''[Cruise] Label''' given should always include [ship]number/leg (e.g.: MSM88/1).
==== Event label(s) ====
The '''Event Label(s)''' should be part of each data submission. Event labels equal the station labels and provide meta-information for the data. The '''Underway Event Label''' is being created onboard and should always be used when referring to Underway Data (current exception: CTD Data - several events needed). The format of Event Labels format consists of the cruise label and the station ending: [ship]number/leg_station (e.g.: MSM88/1_0_Underway-3).
==== Device /Sensor ====
'''Information on the device''' used for measuring should also be provided, so it can be linked to the measured parameters.

==== Keywords/Project ====
Use "DAM:Underway Research Project" as project and technical keyword "DAMUnderwayReserach".

== Data Table ==
=== File name ===
A '''generalized file name''' should be used per device (see [[#PANGAEA Data Submission Form Example]])
=== File Formats ===
Possible file formats include .txt, .tab, .csv, .xlsx . The encoding is preferably UTF-8.
=== Layout ===
Please do not include any header except '''column names'''. The '''decimal separator''' should be "." and the '''number of decimals''' should always reflect the measurement precision. Not available numbers are displayed as blanks in PANGAEA. They should be included as blanks, "NaN", "NA" or event "999.999" in the data table.
=== Parameters of the data table ===
This table gives an overview of how the '''parameter names and specifications''' will appear on the '''web''' and in the '''download file''' of the data. If possible, these names should be included in the submitted data table. Also the '''format and unit''' of data should be submitted as displayed here. The '''methods''', as specified in the submitted meta-information, will be included in the data publication by the data editor.

Kriemann: replace example

On this page you will find information on the requirements for submitting, archiving and publishing '''Conductivity, Temperature, Depth Sonde (CTD) Underway Data''', as well as examples of datasets. Although not "underway" per definition, CTD data taken continuously onboard a research vessel without scientific program will be named "underway" here for the sake of consistency with similar efforts with other devices.

General information about CTD data, which is not necessarily related to the DAM Underway Research Data Project, can be found [[CTD|here]].

|Physical oceanography data was acquired by a ship-based Seabird SBE911+ CTD-Rosette system onboard [ship] during research cruise [cruise label]. The CTD system is comprised of a Seabird SBE911Plus including dual respectively redundant sensor and pump packages. The SBE11plus Deck Unit remains on board in a laboratory and supplies on one hand power to the SBE9plus underwater unit, on the other hand data telemetry between the SBE9plus and a measurement PC. The SBE9plus underwater unit itself holds a pressure sensor and is interfacing with dual SEB3 temperature, SBE4 conductivity and SBE43 oxygen sensors and two SBE5 pumps to provide a pumped water supply past each sensor. The system also carries an optical FLNTU sensor to measure a combinations of back-scattering, turbidity, and chlorophyll-a. To quantify the photo-synthetically active radiation a PAR sensor is installed as well.

=== Templates for processed CTD data submissions[edit | edit source] ===
These templates may help for preparation of your data file:

* '''[https://store.pangaea.de/documentation/PANGAEA-Wiki/Templates/CTD_template.txt template in tab delimited text format (preferred)]'''; Additional meta information as name of the principal investigator and name of method and device are given as comments during the submission process.

* '''[https://store.pangaea.de/documentation/PANGAEA-Wiki/Templates/CTD_template.xlsx template in excel format]'''; Additional meta information as name of the principal investigator and name of method and device are either given as comments during the submission process or via an additional sheet in the excel file.

'''A few information on density in water:'''

Density = 1027.1234

Sigma = Density - 1000 = 27.1234

Density depends on pressure, temperature and salt content: Density = f(P,T,S)

As a rule, one considers the density (or sigma) and sets P = 0 and denotes this as sigma-theta.

If the potential temperature (theta) is used instead of the in-situ temperature T, then the result is the potential density or sigma-theta.

'''Density in situ''' ('' Note: "Density, mass density [kg/m³]" in 4D'') - should always have values around 1000 (e.g. 1027)

'''Density, potential''' [kg/m³] should also always have values around 1000 (e.g. 1027)

'''Density sigma-theta''' [kg/m³] should always have lower tens values, e.g. around 27

'''Density, sigma, in situ''' [kg/m³] should also have lower tens values, e.g. around 27

Kriemann:

On this page you will find information on the requirements for submitting, archiving and publishing '''Spectral Radiation data''', as well as examples of datasets. Please use the template when preparing your spectral radiation data and also read: [[Data submission]]. The following defines frequently used data types and summarizes how to prepare spectral radiation data collected in the field via ship based sensors for submission to PANGAEA.

==== Parameter names ====
The long name of the parameter consist of the medium the sensor is placed in as well as the sensor direction. Examples: Radiance, downward, in air or Irradiance, upward, in water .

Kriemann:

The JIRA Dashboard is a tool to gain overview over JIRA tickets for example data submission tickets in the PANGAEA ticket system. "Ready to use" Dashboards are available for every user logged in PANGAEA. The following instructions demonstrate how to copy a "ready to use" Dashboard and how to adapt it to fit your own specifications.

== Available Dashboard ==
One starting point is a ready to use Dashboard called [https://issues.pangaea.de/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=16932 "Dashboard for reporter and contributor"] . This Dashboard shows you your tickets from the role of a reporter as well as the role of a contributor/reviewer. To clarify between the two roles: A reporter submits their data via the [https://pangaea.de/submit/ data submission page] and asks to add additional users as contributor/reviewer to the newly created submission ticket. A contributor/reviewer can paste comments in the ticket.

=== Issue Statistics ===
On the left hand side on the [https://issues.pangaea.de/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=16932 Dashboard], three tables aka gadgets are shown displaying your issue statistics. These three tables differ only in their title and focus. They are called "Issue Statistics: All my issues as reporter OR contributor/reviewer", "Issue Statistics: All my issues as reporter" and "Issue Statistics: All my issues as contributor/reviewer". Depending on your role in the tickets, the numbers vary.
[[File:Issue statistics gadget.png|center|frameless|600x600px]]
Depending on your taste and preferences, you might find all or a limited number of Issue Statistics gadgets helpful.

The Issue Statistics gadget shows you the number of your tickets depending on the ticket status. If you want to know which tickets have the status open, click on the blue "Count" number to open a list displaying your open tickets.

=== Filter Results ===
Several lists of filtered results are displayed below the issue statistics and on the right hand side. A variety of Filter Results gadgets have been chosen which are useful to most users. All Filter Results gadgets displayed on the [https://issues.pangaea.de/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=16932 "Dashboard for reporter and contributor"] are displayed three times to distinguish between your tickets where you are reporter, contributor/reviewer or both.
[[File:Filter results verschwommen2.png|center|frameless|600x600px]]
Depending on your taste and preferences, you might find all or a limited number of Filter Results gadgets helpful.

== Adapting your own personal Dashboard ==
If you want to create your own Dashboard, we recommend to copy and adapt an existing Dashboard. To copy the ready to use "[https://issues.pangaea.de/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=16932 Dashboard for reporter and contributor"] go to the "[https://issues.pangaea.de/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=16932 Dashboard for reporter and contributor"] and click on the button with the three dots in the upper right corner.
[[File:Copy dashboard.png|center|231x231px]]
Select "Copy Dashboard", give the new Dashboard a name and save it via the "Add" button.
[[File:Copy dashboard2.png|center|frameless]]
You will have all rights to edit your Dashboard via "Add gadget" and "Edit layout" in the upper right corner. Each existing gadget can be edited or deleted by selecting the three dots in the upper right corner of each gadget.

== Example of adding a new Filter Results gadget ==
To add another gadget to your Dashboard, click on "Add gadget" in the upper right corner. The Filter Results gadget is available after clicking on "Load all gadgets".
[[File:Add gadget.png|center|frameless|400x400px]]
After selecting your gadget, you need to select a filter. Many filters are already available. If you want to create a new filter, find a description in the next paragraph.
[[File:New gadget select filter.png|center|frameless|400x400px]]

== How to create a filter ==
A filter is a powerful tool to select a specific subset of your tickets. For example you can filter your tickets of a certain status or with specific word combinations in the ticket title. Many filters are already available. If you want to create a new filter, click on "Issues" in the upper left corner and select [https://issues.pangaea.de/secure/ManageFilters.jspa?filterView=popular "Manage filters"].
[[File:Popular filters.png|center|frameless|600x600px]]
Select "Popular" on the left side to find existing filters, which you are allowed to view and select a filter for example "All my issues as contributor/reviewer" to see how the syntax works. You can either select a "New search" in the upper left side or edit an existing filter.
[[File:Edit issue search aka filter.png|center|frameless|600x600px]]
As soon as you start typing the "Syntax Help" window appears. A red exclamation mark indicates whether your filter needs further adapting. Clicking on the blue "Search" button shows you immediately your filter results. After adapting your filter, do not forget to save it. The "Save as" button appears when clicking on the three dots next to "Save". Your own created filters are listed under "My" on the [https://issues.pangaea.de/secure/ManageFilters.jspa?filterView=my "Manage Filters" page]. Depending on how you set the permissions, other users are able to see and select your filter for a Dashboard gadget.
