== Event lists in PANGAEA ==
[[File:PS138 event-list.png|thumb|Figure 1: Part of the station list of POLARSTERN cruise PS138 as it appears on https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/events/PS138]]
Event lists (sometimes called station lists) depict all device operations (=[[event]]<nowiki/>s) of a given research [[campaign]]. These lists can be accessed and downloaded using the generic link “<nowiki>https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/events/”</nowiki> and adding the name of a campaign, as it is stored in PANGAEA. I.e. for campaign “PS138” the link would be: https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/events/PS138. Default format is HTML, a tab file of a list can be downloaded by including “?format=textfile” in the URL: https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/events/PS138?format=textfile.
There are two cases how these event lists are generated, depending on their origin:
# Events are provided during the [https://www.pangaea.de/submit/ submission] process of a [[Data set|dataset]] and added to the [https://www.pangaea.de/ PANGAEA] database.
# Events are systematically archived in PANGAEA for a oceanic and regional German research vessels (and polar flights?). For further information on how these event lists are generated, please read the next paragraphs.

== Event lists for German research vessels ==

Event lists are systematically archived in PANGAEA for expeditions of the German research vessels POLARSTERN, SONNE, MARIA S. MERIAN, METEOR, HEINCKE, ELISABETH MANN BORGESE and ALKOR. They can be accessed via https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions, where [[campaign]] lists for certain ships are linked.
=== Generation of Event lists ===
[[File:PS138 AL.jpg|thumb|Figure 2: Part of the ActionLog of POLARSTEN cruise PS138]]
Event lists for the German research vessel are generated from [https://dship.awi.de/ DSHIP Action Logs]. The DSHIP is the system that German Research vessels use to document stations and device usage. Sampling actions are logged manually, including date/time, lat/long, information about the device and several actions are used, i.e. “in the water” or “max depth/on ground”. The resulting log file is an “Action Log”. Action Logs may vary among the different ships they come from, regarding column names, comments, best practices, etc.

In PANGAEA, for each device operation one event is generated depending on the provided actions. For devices that are towed behind the ship or permanently installed, a start and end action is used and the respective times and coordinates of the device operation is used. For point instruments, i.e. MultiCorer or Grab, the action of the actual sampling is used (“max depth/on ground”). For instruments that are deployed or recovered, i.e. moorings, the action of the deployment or recovery is used. All coordinates provided in the ActionLogs are the ships position and were not quality controlled before generating the event lists. Quality controlled ship positions for the German research vessels are archived as master tracks in PANGAEA (i.e. Boetius, Antje (2023): Master tracks in different resolutions of POLARSTERN cruise PS138, Tromsø - Bremerhaven, 2023-08-02 - 2023-10-01 [dataset]. Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, PANGAEA, https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.963843).

Additional events, that were not logged in DSHIP, can be added to these lists on demand.

=== POLARSTERN event list process ===
For POLARSTERN, the creation of the event list in PANGAEA is closely connected to the generation of the Station list in the cruise report. Most stations are logged in DShip, but those that aren't need to be logged in registry.awi.de. Both sources are used to create the official station list in PANGAEA. After that a script is used on the PANGAEA list to create the list used for the cruise report. Also the PANGAEA events (stations) will be harvested for www.marine-data.org. Apart from that the BSH also saves station lists from DShip in its original form.

Campaign

2026-03-12T08:02:17Z

Mjacob: /* Other research vessels */

The '''CAMPAIGN''' (synonyms: ''cruise, expedition, leg'') is related to a certain [[project]]. Campaign as the second level in the [[data model]] may be used as an option, but is recommended to more easily list separate sampling locations. Information about the CAMPAIGN apears in the [[metaheader]] of the [[data set]] under [[Event|Event(s)]].

[[File:Campaign webpage.PNG|thumb|800 px|Campaign information in the data set metaheader at PANGAEA website]]




==Basic information about CAMPAIGN==

* '''Label''' of the campaign; ''is unique and does not contain blanks; uses abbreviations instead of full names.''
* '''Optional label''' may contain any additional name(s) or labels of a campaign as free text, separated by blank.
* '''[[Basis]]''' is the station platform used for the operation of the campaign.
* '''Begin''' defines the start date of the campaign.
* '''End''' defines the end.
* '''[[Staff|Responsible scientist(s)]]''' are persons beeing responsible for a campaign.
* '''Project''' is related [[Project]].
* '''Events''' info only; shows [[event]] labels and the number of events, related to this campaign, automatically updated by the relational system

==Further information about CAMPAIGN==

* '''Report''' may contain the citation of the campaigns report (e.g. cruise report).
* '''Comment''' free text for any additional information.
* '''URI''' may contain the link to a campaign web page.
* '''More Details''' contains Start Location, End Location (according to [https://vocab.seadatanet.org/v_bodc_vocab_v2/search.asp?lib=C38 BODC VOCAB LIBRARY C38 (SEADATANET PORTS GAZETTEER)]) and BSH ID of the cruise.

In some international projects (e.g. WOCE, CarboOcean), cruises of research vessels are identfied via the NODC Ship code, called EXPOCODE.

== LAND CAMPAIGN naming convention of the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) ==
Since about 2018, the Alfred Wegener Institute is striving to use a harmonised and easy-to-use naming of land campaigns. The naming convention is as follows:

[''country'']-Land_[''year'']_''campaignName''

Already existing country codes: AK - Alaska, ANT - Antarctica, CA - Canada, FN - Finland, GL - Greenland, NO - Norway, RU - Russia

e.g. '''NO-Land_2020_Bayelva''', '''RU-Land_2020_Khamra''' or '''GL-Land_2019_EGRIP'''

If more than one campaign was conducted in one year in the same country with the same campaign name, the season can be added, e.g. '''CA-Land_2019_YukonCoast_spring''' vs. '''CA-Land_2019_YukonCoast_summer'''

List of all land campaigns of the AWI in the Arctic: https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/bybasis/AWI%20Arctic%20Land%20Expedition (this list was harmonized also for pre-2018 campaigns)

List of all land campaigns of the AWI in the Antarctic: https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/bybasis/AWI%20Antarctic%20Land%20Expedition

== CAMPAIGN list of ships in PANGAEA ==

==== Generic access of campaign lists ====
Campaign lists not provided here, can be generated using the link "<nowiki>https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/bybasis/</nowiki>" followed by the name of a ship.

Campaigns of a certain [[project]] can also be accessed by their project acronym (shows all campaigns linked to the project, and all campaigns linked to a dataset of that project), i.e https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/byproject/IODP.

Mjacob: /* Event lists for German research vessels */

THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION !

== Event lists in PANGAEA ==
[[File:PS138 event-list.png|thumb|Figure 1: Part of the station list of POLARSTERN cruise PS138 as it appears on https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/events/PS138]]
Event lists (sometimes called station lists) depict all device operations (=[[event]]<nowiki/>s) of a given research [[campaign]]. These lists can be accessed and downloaded using the generic link “<nowiki>https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/events/”</nowiki> and adding the name of a campaign, as it is stored in PANGAEA. I.e. for campaign “PS138” the link would be: https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/events/PS138. Default format is HTML, a tab file of a list can be downloaded by including “?format=textfile” in the URL: https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/events/PS138?format=textfile.
There are two cases how these event lists are generated, depending on their origin:
# Events are provided during the [https://www.pangaea.de/submit/ submission] process of a [[Data set|dataset]] and added to the [https://www.pangaea.de/ PANGAEA] database.
# Events are systematically archived in PANGAEA for a oceanic and regional German research vessels (and polar flights?). For further information on how these event lists are generated, please read the next paragraphs.

== Event lists for German research vessels ==

Event lists are systematically archived in PANGAEA for expeditions of the German research vessels POLARSTERN, SONNE, MARIA S. MERIAN, METEOR, HEINCKE, ELISABETH MANN BORGESE and ALKOR. They can be accessed via https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions, where [[campaign]] lists for certain ships are linked.
=== Generation of Event lists ===
[[File:PS138 AL.jpg|thumb|Figure 2: Part of the ActionLog of POLARSTEN cruise PS138]]
Event lists for the German research vessel are generated from [https://dship.awi.de/ DSHIP Action Logs]. The DSHIP is the system that German Research vessels use to document stations and device usage. Sampling actions are logged manually, including date/time, lat/long, information about the device and several actions are used, i.e. “in the water” or “max depth/on ground”. The resulting log file is an “Action Log”. Action Logs may vary among the different ships they come from, regarding column names, comments, best practices, etc.

In PANGAEA, for each device operation one event is generated depending on the provided actions. For devices that are towed behind the ship or permanently installed, a start and end action is used and the respective times and coordinates of the device operation is used. For point instruments, i.e. MultiCorer or Grab, the action of the actual sampling is used (“max depth/on ground”). For instruments that are deployed or recovered, i.e. moorings, the action of the deployment or recovery is used. All coordinates provided in the ActionLogs are the ships position and were not quality controlled before generating the event lists. Quality controlled ship positions for the German research vessels are archived as master tracks in PANGAEA (i.e. Boetius, Antje (2023): Master tracks in different resolutions of POLARSTERN cruise PS138, Tromsø - Bremerhaven, 2023-08-02 - 2023-10-01 [dataset]. Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, PANGAEA, https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.963843).

Additional events, that were not logged in DSHIP, can be added to these lists on demand.

==== POLARSTERN event list process ====
[[File:Event list process for POLARSTERN.png|thumb|Figure 3: Event list generation and usage for POLARSTERN.]]
For POLARSTERN, the creation of the event list in PANGAEA is closely connected to the generation of the Station list in the cruise report. Most stations are logged in DShip, but those that aren't need to be logged in registry.awi.de. Both sources are used to create the official station list in PANGAEA. After that a script is used on the PANGAEA list to create the list used for the cruise report. Also the PANGAEA events (stations) will be harvested for www.marine-data.org. Apart from that the BSH also saves station lists from DShip in its original form.

Campaign

2026-02-16T10:08:48Z

Mjacob: /* CAMPAIGN list of ships in PANGAEA */ added information on how the campaign list link can be generated

The '''CAMPAIGN''' (synonyms: ''cruise, expedition, leg'') is related to a certain [[project]]. Campaign as the second level in the [[data model]] may be used as an option, but is recommended to more easily list separate sampling locations. Information about the CAMPAIGN apears in the [[metaheader]] of the [[data set]] under [[Event|Event(s)]].

[[File:Campaign webpage.PNG|thumb|800 px|Campaign information in the data set metaheader at PANGAEA website]]




==Basic information about CAMPAIGN==

* '''Label''' of the campaign; ''is unique and does not contain blanks; uses abbreviations instead of full names.''
* '''Optional label''' may contain any additional name(s) or labels of a campaign as free text, separated by blank.
* '''[[Basis]]''' is the station platform used for the operation of the campaign.
* '''Begin''' defines the start date of the campaign.
* '''End''' defines the end.
* '''[[Staff|Responsible scientist(s)]]''' are persons beeing responsible for a campaign.
* '''Project''' is related [[Project]].
* '''Events''' info only; shows [[event]] labels and the number of events, related to this campaign, automatically updated by the relational system

==Further information about CAMPAIGN==

* '''Report''' may contain the citation of the campaigns report (e.g. cruise report).
* '''Comment''' free text for any additional information.
* '''URI''' may contain the link to a campaign web page.
* '''More Details''' contains Start Location, End Location (according to [https://vocab.seadatanet.org/v_bodc_vocab_v2/search.asp?lib=C38 BODC VOCAB LIBRARY C38 (SEADATANET PORTS GAZETTEER)]) and BSH ID of the cruise.

In some international projects (e.g. WOCE, CarboOcean), cruises of research vessels are identfied via the NODC Ship code, called EXPOCODE.

== LAND CAMPAIGN naming convention of the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) ==
Since about 2018, the Alfred Wegener Institute is striving to use a harmonised and easy-to-use naming of land campaigns. The naming convention is as follows:

[''country'']-Land_[''year'']_''campaignName''

Already existing country codes: AK - Alaska, ANT - Antarctica, CA - Canada, FN - Finland, GL - Greenland, NO - Norway, RU - Russia

e.g. '''NO-Land_2020_Bayelva''', '''RU-Land_2020_Khamra''' or '''GL-Land_2019_EGRIP'''

If more than one campaign was conducted in one year in the same country with the same campaign name, the season can be added, e.g. '''CA-Land_2019_YukonCoast_spring''' vs. '''CA-Land_2019_YukonCoast_summer'''

List of all land campaigns of the AWI in the Arctic: https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/bybasis/AWI%20Arctic%20Land%20Expedition (this list was harmonized also for pre-2018 campaigns)

List of all land campaigns of the AWI in the Antarctic: https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/bybasis/AWI%20Antarctic%20Land%20Expedition

== CAMPAIGN list of ships in PANGAEA ==
In March 2014 the "Senatskomission Ozean" and others agreed on a common syntax for campaigns (XXnn/mm):
{| class="wikitable"

On https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/ PANGAEA offers lists of campaigns for selected basis (ships, aircraft) and projects. However, PANGAEA provides many more overview lists of campaigns with links to [[Event|events]] and data contained within PANGAEA.

The following is a non-exhaustive collection of links to campaigns lists for ships with a good campaign and dataset record in PANGAEA. Campaign lists not provided here, can be generated using the link "<nowiki>https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/bybasis/</nowiki>" followed by the name of a ship.

Term catalogue

2025-09-09T12:17:07Z

Mjacob: /* PANGAEA-own vocabularies */ added "with country, i.e. Bremerhaven, Germany, " to the explanation how C38 is used for Campaign attributes

==The PANGAEA term catalogue==
The '''PANGAEA''' '''term catalogue''' is an integral part of the internal relational data management system. It functions as a thesaurus-like '''"construction kit"''' that enables the use of controlled vocabularies - including '''thesauri, taxonomies, terminologies, and ontologies''' – for enriching and standardizing metadata across datasets. It consists of '''terms''' '''(concepts)''' and '''relationships''' that can be linked to various components of the PANGAEA data model (e.g., parameters, methods/devices).

To support consistent metadata use across disciplines, the PANGAEA term catalogue includes both '''internally maintained vocabularies''' such as ''"Microbiochemistry, PANGAEA" or'' ''"Keywords"'' and '''externally curated vocabularies''' such as The ''World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS)'' and ''Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI)''. PANGAEA maintains '''bidirectional workflows''' with some external vocabularies – new species names, for instance, can be submitted to WoRMS, while updated records at WoRMs are regularly imported to PANGAEA.

The term catalogue in PANGAEA is designed to support '''structured and semantically rich metadata annotation'''. Each term in the catalogue can be linked to other terms through qualified relationships. Current PANGAEA relationships are, e.g. ''"h''as broader term", "has attribute", "is synonym of", "is same as", "is related to", and more. These semantic relations form an open, hierarchical, and context-sensitive structure that enables flexible classification from multiple perspectives and supports the semantic alignment of equivalent concepts across different vocabularies. Wherever possible, terms are linked to persistent identifiers (URIs) to ensure compatibility with semantic web technologies and to minimize redundancy.

== Purpose and benefits ==
By relying on shared, well-documented vocabularies, the term catalogue ensures metadata is described in a '''standardized''', '''unambiguous''', and '''machine-readable''' format. This improves '''semantic consistency''' within PANGAEA, enables the '''integration of heterogeneous''' datasets, and facilitates '''alignment with external systems.'''

In practice, the catalogue improves:

* '''Metadata quality''' by refering to unambigous concepts and a unifying terminology, and preventing duplication.
* '''Search functionality''' by supporting hierarchical filtering (faceting), synonym recognition, thematic grouping, and broader-term expansion - for example, a temperature parameter like “temperature, water” and “temperature, ice” is automatically annotated with two terms: the first, temperature, represents the measured quantity (quantity kind in PANGAEA), and the second, introduced here by a preposition (“water” or “ice”), defines the measurement environment (feature in PANGAEA; for more information see https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiotec.2017.07.016). This allows such parameters to be grouped differently depending on the domain context (e.g., measured in water vs. in ice). For further details on the PANGAEA search, also see [[PANGAEA search]].
* '''Metadata validation''' - for example, a relation like "is unit of" or "is method of" could be used to ensure that only appropriate units or methods are assigned to a specific parameter.

== How is the metadata annotated with terms from the term catalogue? ==
Many metadata fields in PANGAEA are initially populated using '''free-text descriptions'''. These entries are subsequently '''annotated with appropriate controlled terms''' from either '''externally maintained vocabularies''' or PANGAEA’s own '''internal terms'''. In most cases - particularly for '''parameters''' - this '''annotation process is ''semi-automated'''''. Semi-automated annotation refers to a script-based approach that analyzes segments of the input text. The script parses the string based on predefined rules, such as character position or specific separators (e.g., commas), to identify distinct sections and match them with corresponding terms in the catalogue. For example, characters in positions 1–10 may be linked to one term, while a comma signals the beginning of a new annotation segment. A single parameter section can only be associated with ''one'' controlled term directly. When assigning the vocabularies, they are ranked differently, so that it is always clear which vocabulary is used. After this automatic step, data editors can manually review and approve the suggested annotations to ensure correctness and consistency.

In other metadata fields, such as '''methods or devices''', the '''annotation is currently performed manually''' by data editors. In certain fields - especially those involving '''keywords''' or '''geographic locations''' - metadata is '''directly described''' using controlled terms from the catalogue '''without any free-text''' input.

Annotated terms are publicly visible and are displayed on the PANGAEA website. When users hover over an annotated element, the linked term and its source are revealed in a tooltip-like overlay. For technical details or contributions, see the parameter-annotator [https://github.com/pangaea-data-publisher/param-annotator GitHub repository]

== Viewing the terms used to annotate metadata ==
The '''terms used to enrich PANGAEA datasets''' can be both '''inspected''' by users through the web interface and '''harvested''' by machines.[[File:Screenshot of the popup window showing parameter terms.png|alt=Popup window example|thumb|Example for a popup window showing the terms from controlled vocabularies used to annotate the given PANGAEA parameter]]

=== Seeing terms in the user interface ===
In the PANGAEA web interface, it is '''not always visible''' whether metadata entries (e.g., locations or keywords) were taken directly from a controlled vocabulary or entered as free text. However, when freetext metadata have been '''explicitly annotated with terms afterwards''', this metadata will contain a link. Clicking on it will open a '''popup window''' showing which '''controlled terms''' were used for annotation

=== Retrieving terms through dataset harvesting ===
Terms are exposed in both the '''[https://schema.org/ schema.org format]''' (see '''[https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.954001?format=metadata_jsonld example dataset]''', more details on the schema are available at [https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/dataset?hl=en schema.org] and [https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/dataset?hl=en here]) as well as in the '''[[PANGAEA XML schema|PANGAEA metadata schema format]]''' (see [https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.954001?format=metadata_panmd example dataset]; more information on standard PANGAEA metadata interfaces are available [[Metadata|here]]). Terms appear in fields such as '''parameters, methods, Event, locations, and dataset keywords'''. Each term is provided with a '''semantic identifier (semantic URI)''' that can be harvested by external systems. The terms alone, as well as the full relations between terms and the underlying terminologies, cannot currently be obtained from PANGAEA as linked RDF data. For some terminologies, however, term lists are available for download.

| The World Register of Marine Species, Aphia 1.0 || WoRMS || '''WoRMS:''' The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) provides an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms, including information on synonymy.

'''Aphia:''' The Aphia platform is an infrastructure designed to capture taxonomic and related data and information, and includes an online editing environment.

WoRMS includes information on algae by [https://www.algaebase.org/ '''AlgaeBase'''], which is redistributed by WoRMS with permission.

''WoRMS does not include prokaryotes.''

|| https://www.marinespecies.org/ || PANGAEA imports taxonomic terms and relations from the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). These terms are updated monthly via data dumps provided by WoRMS.
Data editors may manually create “non-accepted” terms (with status “PANGAEA accepted”) if they are submitted to WoRMS and deleted if rejected. Accepted terms will be updated automatically.

|Quantities, Units, Dimensions and DataTypes Ontology
|qudt
|'''QUDT'''.org is a public charity nonprofit organization founded to provide semantic specifications for units of measure, quantity kind, dimensions and data types.
QUDT version 1.1 is a structured vocabulary and ontology that provides a standardized representation of units of measurement and their corresponding quantities. It includes definitions for physical quantities (e.g., length, mass, temperature), units (e.g., meter, kilogram, kelvin), and the relationships between them (e.g., conversion factors, symbols, dimensional analysis).
|https://www.qudt.org/
|Onetime Import of version QUDT 1.1 as part of the "Quantities, PANGAEA" terminology.
Later versions of [https://www.qudt.org/ QUDT] diverged from the PANGAEA requirements, as they incorporate broader and more complex structures beyond the scope of units and their associated measurement quantities, but lack some of the necessary mappings PANGAEA relies on.
|QUDT forms the core of the custom "Quantities, PANGAEA", powering the '''background mapping of''' '''units to UCUM''' and '''linking parameters to quantities.'''

| Quantities, PANGAEA || PAN-Quantity || The "'''Quantities''', PANGAEA" terminology comprises units and quantities from the harvested '''QUDT 1.1''' terminology as well as other '''complementary quantities''' defined by PANGAEA

Later versions of [https://www.qudt.org/ QUDT] diverged from the PANGAEA requirements, as they incorporate broader and more complex structures beyond the scope of units and their associated measurement quantities, but lack some of the necessary mappings PANGAEA relies on.

|| ''Unpublished, only annotated terms are visible to the public''|| Onetime import <nowiki/>of Quantities of QUDT version 1.1

|| '''Parameters (quantities)'''

* '''Direct annotation''' - e.g. "'''''Velocity''''', horizontal"
* '''Indirect annotation by the unit''' - e.g., the term ''"Velocity"'' is added if the unit is ''"km/h"''
Units archived in PANGAEA are automatically processed by a script from the GitLab repository [https://github.com/pangaea-data-publisher/pucum PUCUM], which converts them into the standardized UCUM format (Unified Code for Units of Measure). In addition to the unit itself, this format also specifies the underlying dimension (e.g., {Length}, {Mass}). A JSON file in the repository defines how these UCUM dimensions are mapped to the corresponding Quantities in PANGAEA. This ensures that units are interpreted consistently and linked reliably to the relevant quantities in the system.

|Classifying terms, PANGAEA
|PAN-CT
|The "Classifying terms, PANGAEA" terminology is used to define the thematic faceting displayed under '''“Topics”''' on the PANGAEA start page.

** Level 4: NERC L22 – Device models
* Other Methods (under construction)
** Level 1: Broader categories for non-device-based methods||Many existing '''method/devices''' are already annotated manually with terms from the “Methods and Devices, PANGAEA”. New methods can be annotated manually by the data editors.

Campaign

2024-07-01T10:19:50Z

Mjacob: added information about C38

The '''CAMPAIGN''' (synonyms: ''cruise, expedition, leg'') is related to a certain [[project]]. Campaign as the second level in the [[data model]] may be used as an option, but is recommended to more easily list separate sampling locations. Information about the CAMPAIGN apears in the [[metaheader]] of the [[data set]] under [[Event|Event(s)]].

[[File:Campaign webpage.PNG|thumb|800 px|Campaign information in the data set metaheader at PANGAEA website]]




==Basic information about CAMPAIGN==

* '''Label''' of the campaign; ''is unique and does not contain blanks; uses abbreviations instead of full names.''
* '''Optional label''' may contain any additional name(s) or labels of a campaign as free text, separated by blank.
* '''[[Basis]]''' is the station platform used for the operation of the campaign.
* '''Begin''' defines the start date of the campaign.
* '''End''' defines the end.
* '''[[Staff|Responsible scientist(s)]]''' are persons beeing responsible for a campaign.
* '''Project''' is related [[Project]].
* '''Events''' info only; shows [[event]] labels and the number of events, related to this campaign, automatically updated by the relational system

==Further information about CAMPAIGN==

* '''Report''' may contain the citation of the campaigns report (e.g. cruise report).
* '''Comment''' free text for any additional information.
* '''URI''' may contain the link to a campaign web page.
* '''More Details''' contains Start Location, End Location (according to [https://vocab.seadatanet.org/v_bodc_vocab_v2/search.asp?lib=C38 BODC VOCAB LIBRARY C38 (SEADATANET PORTS GAZETTEER)]) and BSH ID of the cruise.

In some international projects (e.g. WOCE, CarboOcean), cruises of research vessels are identfied via the NODC Ship code, called EXPOCODE.

== LAND CAMPAIGN naming convention of the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) ==
Since about 2018, the Alfred Wegener Institute is striving to use a harmonised and easy-to-use naming of land campaigns. The naming convention is as follows:

[''country'']-Land_[''year'']_''campaignName''

Already existing country codes: AK - Alaska, ANT - Antarctica, CA - Canada, FN - Finland, GL - Greenland, NO - Norway, RU - Russia

e.g. '''NO-Land_2020_Bayelva''', '''RU-Land_2020_Khamra''' or '''GL-Land_2019_EGRIP'''

If more than one campaign was conducted in one year in the same country with the same campaign name, the season can be added, e.g. '''CA-Land_2019_YukonCoast_spring''' vs. '''CA-Land_2019_YukonCoast_summer'''

List of all land campaigns of the AWI in the Arctic: https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/bybasis/AWI%20Arctic%20Land%20Expedition (this list was harmonized also for pre-2018 campaigns)

List of all land campaigns of the AWI in the Antarctic: https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/bybasis/AWI%20Antarctic%20Land%20Expedition

== CAMPAIGN list of ships in PANGAEA ==
In March 2014 the "Senatskomission Ozean" and others agreed on a common syntax for campaigns (XXnn/mm):

Station lists

2024-06-26T08:52:10Z

Mjacob: updated some information and used "event list" instead of "station list"

= Event lists in PANGAEA =
[[File:PS138 event-list.png|thumb|Figure 1: Part of the station list of POLARSTERN cruise PS138 as it appears on https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/events/PS138]]
Event lists (or Station lists) show all the sampling events per cruise of a research vessel. PANGAEA archives the event lists of the large German research vessels and links research data to these sampling events in a common format, standardized and in one place (Figure 1).

In the framework of the pilot-phase of the DAM data management project, the workflows for the creation of event lists for PANGAEA have been revised, optimized and are herein documented.

= DShip Action Log =
The DShip is the system that German Research vessels use to document stations and device usage. Sampling actions are logged manually, including date/time, lat/long and information about the device. The resulting log file is an “Action Log”. Action Logs may vary among the different ships they come from, regarding column names, comments, best practices, etc. We use these Action Logs to create uniform station lists for PANGAEA. Within DShip, logs are recorded for every action performed with a certain device, while in PANGAEA we want to condense this information to one [[Event]]. The event covers the start and possibly the end information of a device usage.

= Event lists online =
Event list archiving is part of PANGAEA's expedition archiving. Cruise lists and related information can be accessed via https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/ or, for particular research vessels, via the following link

[[File:PS138 event-list.png|thumb|Figure 1: Part of the station list of POLARSTERN cruise PS138 as it appears on https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/events/PS138]]
Station lists (or Event lists) compile sampling events of a research cruise. PANGAEA archives station lists of the large and medium-sized German research vessels, and links the sampling events with the resulting research data in a common and standardized format (Figure 1).
In the framework of the DAM Underway Research Data Project, the workflows for the creation of station lists for PANGAEA have been revised, optimized and documented.

= DShip Action Log =
The DShip is the system that German Research vessels use to document stations and device usage. Sampling actions are logged manually, including date/time, lat/long and information about the device. The resulting log file is an “Action Log”. Action Logs may vary among the different ships they come from, regarding column names, comments, best practices, etc.
We use these Action Logs to create uniform station lists for PANGAEA. Within DShip, logs are recorded for every action performed with a certain device, while in PANGAEA we want to condense this information to one [[Event]]. The event covers the start and possibly the end information of a device usage.

= Station lists online =
Station list archiving is part of PANGAEA's expedition archiving. Cruise lists and related information can be accessed via https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/ or, for particular research vessels, via the following links:
* Cruise list of the research vessel [https://www.pangaea.de/PHP/CruiseReports.php?b=Polarstern POLARSTERN]

Please note, '''bathymetry data curation SOPs''' in PANGAEA with respect to '''FAIR data principles''' (https://doi.org/10.1038/sdata.2016.18) are currently revised within the scope of of the German Marine Research Alliance (DAM) Underway research data project (https://www.allianz-meeresforschung.de/). This page and the information provided here is adressed to PANGAEA users and data submitters. [https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Metaheader '''PANGAEA's Metaheader'''] explicitly for bathymetry datasets and other data curation requirements are explained on this page. In addition, data management at PANGAEA and requirements for bathymetry data submission to PANGAEA are documented. 
This page is mainly made for bathymetry data from multibeam echosounder data (MBES), however can also be used for data from Satellite derived bathymetry (SDB) or ''Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR)'' data. 
'''Please note, that this page may still be revised in the future. '''
 

== DAM Underway research data project background ==

The '''German Marine Research Alliance (DAM)''' is a combined effort to exploit the full potential of German research vessels as mobile measuring platforms and currently involves 24 institutions and research facilities in Germany. The Underway research data project is part of DAM core area ''data management and digitalization'' (https://www.allianz-meeresforschung.de/en/activities/data-management-and-digitisation/).

[[Image:DAM_Logo_small.png| thumb | right |250px| https://www.allianz-meeresforschung.de/en/]]

 
 
 
 
 

== PANGAEA Bathymetry Web Map services ==

'''All submitted bathymetry data''' (raw data & processed data) are being semi-automatically processed at PANGAEA. '''Tracklines and coverage polygones (footprint)''' of all submitted bathymetry data are extracted from the data and '''added to the DAM data portal''' https://marine-data.org/ (direct link to the viewer https://marine-data.de/?site=viewer),
if data have a '''CC BY 4.0''' (or CC-ZERO) data license. If '''data are not under a moratorium period''', also a '''raster image''' is being calculated and '''added to the DAM portal'''. Here, the (meta-)data can be explored (and are linked to the DOI). These vector & raster data are then also available through OGC Web Map services. https://maps.awi.de/services/common/pangaea_bathymetry/wms and Web Feature Service [https://maps.awi.de/services/common/pangaea_bathymetry/wms https://maps.awi.de/services/common/pangaea_bathymetry/wfs] (please note, this is not a webpage, you need e.g. a GIS to use this service). 
Further information can be found [https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/PANGAEA_Bathymetry_Web_Map_Services '''here'''].

== ''Standardized content of datasets'' ==
To make data '''findable''' (F) and due to PANGAEAs archiving SOPs, bathymetry datasets from multibeam echosounders will be separated into two datasets, if the water column data (e.g. wcd files from Kongsbergs MBES Systems) is simultaneously being recorded during data acquisition. 
This is necessary due to data curation processes, consequently reducing the download volume if it is intended to download only bathymetry data (containing only the seafloor reflector information) from PANGAEA. The water column data are usually much larger than regular bathymetry files (e.g. .all). However, both datasets will be connected / linked to each other, making it easy to find the corresponding dataset).

=== Standardized ''language'' ===
To make data FAIR, “to speak” a common language is required. PANGAEA specifically uses for bathymetry data the Natural Environment Research Council's Data (NERC) Catalogue for describing data.
https://www.bodc.ac.uk/resources/inventories/nerc_data_catalogue/
https://vocab.seadatanet.org/search

== Standardized ''Metaheader'' ==

=== Standardized ''Authors'' ===

The Authorship of (national/German) datasets is currently revised with respect to the ''Guidelines for Safeguarding Good Research Practice'' of the ''German Research Foundation'' http://doi.org/10.1002/9783527679188.oth1 . 
Although it is not generally agreed on, usually the authorship is given to anyone who was significantly involved in data acquisition on board or post-processing on land. 
For German research vessels raw data (archived in PANGAEA), it is very common to include the responsible scientific team on board, including all scientist (including student assistants) who were involved in monitoring, detailed survey planning or performing the survey (only raw data). This can also be considered as a genuine, identifiable contribution to the content of the research data, therefore fulfilling the requirements for authorship's according the ''Guidelines for Safeguarding Good Research Practice''.

=== Standardized ''Title'' ===
To ensure the '''reusability''' (R) and '''interoperability''' (I) of datasets, metadata of similar datasets such as bathymetry data gathered from similar research missions, research vessels or research platforms should follow a common template and a common vocabulary (Generally speaking; they should look alike!). This also includes the title. Therefore, the title of bathymetry data which are entrusted to PANGAEA shall follow a certain template ''“construction kit”''. This ''“construction kit”'' was developed within the DAM efforts (Project Underway research data). It includes the feedback of several German scientists from different institutions, PANGAEA bathymetry data submitters & data management personal. Key elements of each dataset title are incorporated, such as data type, device, platform type, platform, cruise (& area). To guarantee and fulfil FAIR standards, PANGAEA is encouraging data submitters to follow this template (also covering none German research data). To follow these standards is mandatory for all PANGAEA datasets. 
 
Example: 
''Multibeam bathymetry raw data (EM 1002 echosounder entire dataset) of RV MARIA S. MERIAN during cruise MSM55'' 
''Multibeam bathymetry raw data (Kongsberg EM 122 working area dataset) of RV METEOR during cruise M127, Fictional Bank canyon, North Atlantic Ocean''

=== Standardized ''Abstract'' ===
Intending to make data more ''FAIR,'' PANGAEA requires a compact ''Abstract'' for each dataset. For more information regarding abstracts, see https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Abstract. 
Please note that cruise summary reports or other reference must not be cited exclusively in the abstract because references are also included in the metaheader (references) of the dataset. However, to provide credit and cite e.g. raw data if processed data are submitted to PANGAEA, you might add to the abstract: "Raw data for this study were published by (Authors, YYYY)." (followed by the full citation of the dataset in the list of references). If reference shall be linked, please inform the data editor. 
If you would like to provide other contact information related to this dataset (e.g. Email address), please inform the data editor. 
Please specify in the abstract whether sound velocity profiles are part of the raw dataset publication or not. Comparatively for processed data publications, please describe your processing steps (further, see below and examples).

For processed data please describe whether:
*depth measurements manually cleaned from errors during processing?
*sound velocity profile correction applied during processing?
*navigation correction applied during processing?
*tide correction applied during processing?
*horizontal datum, EPSG code from raster data in this publication are?
For raw data please describe whether:
*sound velocity profile correction applied during acquisition?
*are ancillary sound velocity profiles part of this data publication?
*which device recorded the data, which ship, which cruise?
*why have the data being recorded?

==== Raw data (example) ====

Multibeam bathymetry raw data using the ship's own Kongsberg EM 122 multibeam echosounder was not continuously recorded during RV MARIA S. MERIAN cruise MSM97/2. Data were recorded on 3 days between 2020-12-16 and 2020-12-19 in the Norwegian Sea and data acquisition was almost continuously monitored during the survey. Previous to the survey, gaps in already existing database were identified using the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO 2020) Type Identifier (TID) grid. These gaps were used as a base to determine the course of the ship during the cruise. During data acquisition, sound velocity measurements using sound velocity profiles (SVP) derived from CTD casts was applied on the data for data calibration. Ancillary SVP raw data (.asvp files) and SVP from CTD-cast (.txt) are part of this dataset publication.
Data are unprocessed and therefore contain incorrect depth measurements without further processing. Data can be processed e.g. with the open source software package MB-System (Caress, D. W., and D. N. Chayes, MB-System: Mapping the Seafloor, http://www.mbari.org/products/research-software/mb-system/, 2021). 
''(FEEL FREE TO ADD MORE INFORMATION)''

==== Processed data (example) ====
Swath sonar bathymetry data used for that dataset was recorded during RV SURVEY during cruise S143 using Kongsberg EM 122 multibeam echosounder. The cruise took place between 2016-12-12 and 2011-12-23 in the North Atlanic Ocean. Data were recorded on 8 days between 2011-12-15 and 2011-12-23. The approximate average depth of the entire dataset is around 1500m. 
To enhance MBES data accuracy, two sound velocity profile casts were conducted in the vicinity of the working area prior to the survey using sound velocity profiler AML Oceanographic. After processing, these data were directly imported into the MBES Acquisition software Kongsberg SIS Seafloor Information System. Raw data were converted to MB-System format. Data were manually edited for false measurements. No further artificial sound velocity profiles were used during further processing. The data were corrected for tidal changes using data provided by the OSU Tidal Prediction Software
OTPS that is retrievable through MB-System. The vertical datum of the data is now matched to ''mean sea level (MSL)''. A raster was calculated and stored in GeoTIFF format with a 25m resolution (negative values). In addition, the full resolution of avilable ASCII data and used for grid calculation are also archived in this dataset. 
''(FEEL FREE TO ADD MORE INFORMATION)''

=== Standardized usage of ''Reference'' ===
Typically, processed datasets, which are all based of the same raw dataset (also archived in PANGAEA), are submitted to PANGAEA. These datasets will be linked to each other as a ''Reference''
Currently, all bathymetry datasets already archived in PANGAEA are reviewed and checked for relations. If a relationship is found, a linkage between both datasets is being created and is shown as ''Related to''. More information can be found here https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Reference

=== Standardized ''Coverage'' ===
Coverage is an automatic entry into PANGAEA calculated from ''Events'' or PANGAEA ''GEOCODE'' (see below): https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Metaheader. Please note, that ''Minimum Elevation'' und ''Maximum Elevation'' does not represent min / max depth values measured from MBES data contained in this dataset. It is rather in this case the reference height on earth from the instrument used for the measurements. 
Note: Currently, the ''Coverage'' will be visible on PANGAEA website with points having an ''GoogleMaps'' image in the background (right upper corner). It does not show the actual coverage of the surveyed area. The visible points are, instead, representing the ''Events'' (see below).

=== Standardized usage of ''Events'' ===
Bathymetry datasets contain so called PANGAEA ''Events'' (https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Event). The Event links to the scientific ''Campaign'', Method/Device and ''Basis'' (platform) containing further additional information. Please note that, if you browse with your mouse cursor on ''Campaign'', Method/Device or ''Basis'', a field will pop up (do not click). In some datasets, it is possible to click on these fields and a link with detailed information will be provided.
 Further information for Bathymetry related events is given below. 

==== ''Underway event'' ====
(update of this section is in progress) 

For bathymetry data from multbeam echosounders, a so called ''"Underway"'' ''Event'' is created on board of the research vessel. The ''"Underway"'' ''Event'' is named ''CruiseID_0_Underway-number(undefined, )'' e.g. ''M127_0_Underway-1''. The event shows the starting and end point (coordinates & datetime) of the first and last data record of the MBES device acquired during the cruise. Also, the ''Methods/device'' used to record the data is included for Event description. Please note, that PANGAEA specific vocabulary is used here. Providing further detailed information using standard common vocabulary such as the NERC catalogue (https://www.bodc.ac.uk/resources/inventories/nerc_data_catalogue/) is currently being prepared (more information is provided as soon as possible.....). 
If available, an additional link to the Sensor description hosted on https://registry.awi.de is provided. 

If the dataset is compilation of many datasets (only possible for processed data), several ''"Underway"'' ''Events'' will be used. 
Note, that the prefix of the ''Event'' name contains the official cruise ID (cruise label, e.g. https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/bybasis/Meteor%20%281986%29), not the campaign name. The suffix number does not follow any specific rule, as this number is usually chronologically created on board, which is why the numbering can differ from cruise to cruise. 

==== ''SVP casts and event(s)'' ====

If ''SVP casts'' (sound velocity profile measurements using an external device, e.g. using an ''AML Oceanographic Plus X sound velocity probe'') or CTD casts (sound velocity derived from CTD measurements) were performed during the cruise, the acquired data files (and used for import to the acquisition software, e.g. the ''Kongsberg Seafloor Information'', SIS) will be stored in the same raw dataset. The corresponding event of the ''Event list'' of the cruise (e.g. https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/events/M160) will be linked to these files. This ''Event'' will contain similar information as described above, e.g. ''coordinates'', ''methods/devices'', ''etc.''. If SVP's are used for data post-processing (sound velocity correction), these data files can also be submitted to PANGAEA. If possible, these SVP can be linked to the corresponding ''Event''. In general, please always try to describe your submitted SVPs as good as possible for scientific re-use (state the origin of data, whether data are extrapolated e.g. to 12000m, etc.).
You can use the following '''[http://store.pangaea.de/documentation/PANGAEA-Wiki/Templates/Template_PANGAEA_SUBMISSION_bathymetry_processed_V4.xlsx template]''' to support your submission.

=== Standardized usage of ''Parameter and data formats'' ===

Which [https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Parameter PANGAEA parameter] for bathymetry datasets will be used & added to the data files, depend on whether raw or processed data are being submitted.

==== Raw data curation ====

Standard parameters for bathymetry raw data also include PANGAEA’s so called [https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Geocode Geocodes]. These are standard important parameters, which are mandatory to keep the data georeferenced. '''These metadata for each file will be automatically created while data curation process''' Metadata are extracted using the open source software package MB-System (Caress, D. W., and D. N. Chayes, MB-System: Mapping the Seafloor, http://www.mbari.org/products/research-software/mb-system/, 2021) when data format is supported by MB-System .

Please note, if you do have ancillary data, such as ''operational logs'' created on board or detailed ''processing reports'', please add those files to the submission.

==== Processed data curation ====
Standard important parameters extracted from raster data (and ASCII data), which are mandatory to keep the data georeferenced, will be attached automatically. Please note that ASCII however are not recommended for further reuse. 
Feel free to upload bathymetry data, backscatter and/or a sidescan data, in raster (and/or ACSII) format (+ .xyz point cloud data, see below). In general, for raster data GeoTiff files (*.tif) and the grid data format (*.grd) is always preferred, since these data are usually easy to reuse, having less projection issues using standard GIS software. Please indicated whether depth values of the grid cells (also for ASCII data) contain positive or negative values (e.g. elevation / this can be indicated in the file content description). In generel you can submit any projection of the raster image, however if you do so please always add an additional GeoTiff at best with the projection [https://epsg.io/4326 '''WGS 84 -- WGS84 - World Geodetic System 1984, EPSG:4326''']. Also here, try in include the projection in the raster file. Please make sure, if you provide a “bathymetry” raster data, that they contain depth information rather than just an georeferenced image with RGB values (and image is not considered as data). To submit raster images with RGB values is also fine, however they do not represent an resuable data format. In that case, always provide an raster file with true depth information (same coverage). Most dataset in PANGAEA have negative values for depth (= elevation), so we recommend to convert your data accordingly. 
If you want to '''upload xyz files (point cloud data)''' to PANGAEA, you are welcome to do so. However, please also '''upload an auxiliary gridded raster image for each individual xyz (point cloud data) data file'''. In general raster data are more user-friendly (e.g. by using GIS systems), therefore raster images are of high value for scientist. '''Raster images are considered as a (FAIR) interoperable data format, highly supporting the [https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/r1-3-metadata-meet-domain-relevant-community-standards/ resuablity] of data by scientists, especially from other scientific domains'''. Raster image and point cloud data (xyz) will be published using the same doi.
 
Parameters for raster data are listed below (these parameter do not apply for GSF or MB-System data files. GSF or MB-System data files will get the same parameters as for raw data, see above ):

=== Standardized usage of ''Comment'' ===
Bathymetry raw and processed data, which are acquired on scientific vessels, might contain erroneous depth values and/or data artifacts. These data shall never be used for navigational purposes involving safety at sea. For safety reasons, it is widely common to state this explicitly: The comment ''These data should not be used for navigational purposes'' will be '''automatically included as a comment''' on each bathymetry dataset in PANGAEA. Please also check the PANGAEA data policy for more information: https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Data_policy (page currently under construction). Bathymetry data for official nautical chart production must explicitly fulfill the requirements of the International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO) https://iho.int/.
In addition the comment may give credit to personal how was involved in the data submission and not related to the data acquisition at all, therefore not part of the author list.
=== ''Licence'' ===
PANGAEA and DAM are encouraging data submitters to submit bathymetry data under [(https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) '''CC-BY 4.0'''] License terms, which allows sharing (copying and redistributing the material in any medium or format) and adapting (remixing, transforming, and building upon the material) the data. In this way, PANGAEA / DAM can also make the data coverage (footprint) and the trackline visible with a direct link to PANGAEA at https://marine-data.de/ . Note, within the DAM efforts, coverage (footprint) and trackline off all submitted bathymetry data will be made available to the community via OGC Web Map Services (WMS) and OGC Web Feature Services (WFS) . Avoid licence CC-0 & CC-BY-SA, if possible.

Which CC license choose for data? Check also [https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/License here]

=== (Standardized usage of ''Data model extensions)'' (for raw and processed data curation) ===

The usage of so-called ''data model extensions'' which are further ''attributes'' is currently developed. This is a new feature for PANGAEA in order to include more standardized metadata. This new feature shall insure further '''findabilty''' (F) and '''interoperability'''(I) of the datasets (more information is provided as soon as possible.....).

== How to submit bathymetry data to PANGAEA and what to do? ==

Please submit bathymetry data here https://www.pangaea.de/submit/. During submission, you may have to provide information for the data curation process (e.g. cruise, device, etc). For your submission, please edit/modify the title & abstract as stated above ("title construction kit").

'''Please always make individual submission's''' https://www.pangaea.de/submit/ '''for each resulting dataset as defined through the "construction kit"''' [[Bathymetry#Standardized Title]]

For raw data:

Usually for raw data, an upload area will be created for you where you can drop your files (on request). Feel free to drop your data as zip- or individual files. Please also include sound velocity profiles (only SVP raw data, e.g. MSM88_2-1_0.asvp) for raw data submission if available. Your files should not exceed a volume of 10GB, however several files can be uploaded simultaneously. Please avoid renaming of raw data files, even if they are imperfect.
If raw data from '''RV Sonne''', '''RV Maria S. Merian''', '''RV Polarstern''' or '''RV Meteor''' are being submitted, '''please make a comment in your submission before you upload any multibeam echosounder raw data files (e.g. .all format)'''. Please leave a comment: '''''Please take data from the MDM'''''.

For processed data:

Just drop your files after you get your upload link (see requirements above). If additional SVP's have been used for data processing, you can also upload these files too.

|The survey data contain MBES measurements of the Fictional Bank canyon. No bathymetric measurements of Fictional Bank canyon were found in international databases prior to the cruise.
To enhance MBES data accuracy, two sound velocity profile casts were conducted in the vicinity of the working area prior to the survey using sound velocity profiler AML Oceanographic SVP Plus X. After processing, these data were directly imported into the MBES acquisition software Kongsberg SIS Seafloor Information System.

Station lists

2023-10-25T12:36:28Z

Mjacob:

= Station lists in PANGAEA =
[[File:PS119_station-list_preview.png|thumbnail|upright=3|Figure 1: Part of the station list of POLARSTERN cruise PS119 as it appears on https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/events/PS119]]Station lists (or Event lists) compile sampling events of a research cruise. PANGAEA archives station lists of the large and medium-sized German research vessels, and links the sampling events with the resulting research data in a common and standardized format (Figure 1).
In the framework of the DAM Underway Research Data Project, the workflows for the creation of station lists for PANGAEA have been revised, optimized and documented.

= DShip Action Log =
The DShip is the system that German Research vessels use to document stations and device usage. Sampling actions are logged manually, including date/time, lat/long and information about the device. The resulting log file is an “Action Log”. Action Logs may vary among the different ships they come from, regarding column names, comments, best practices, etc.
We use these Action Logs to create uniform station lists for PANGAEA. Within DShip, logs are recorded for every action performed with a certain device, while in PANGAEA we want to condense this information to one [[Event]]. The event covers the start and possibly the end information of a device usage.

= Station lists online =
Station list archiving is part of PANGAEA's expedition archiving. Cruise lists and related information can be accessed via https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/ or, for particular research vessels, via the following links:
* Cruise list of the research vessel [https://www.pangaea.de/PHP/CruiseReports.php?b=Polarstern POLARSTERN] 
* Cruise list of the research vessel [https://www.pangaea.de/PHP/CruiseReports.php?b=Sonne_2014 SONNE]
* Cruise list of the research vessel [https://www.pangaea.de/PHP/CruiseReports.php?b=Merian MERIAN]
* Cruise list of the research vessel [https://www.pangaea.de/PHP/CruiseReports.php?b=Meteor_1986 METEOR]
* Cruise list of the research vessel [https://www.pangaea.de/PHP/CruiseReports.php?b=Poseidon POSEIDON]

See also the list of cruises for other ships: [[Campaign#CAMPAIGN list of ships in PANGAEA]]

There are several options to access and filter campaign lists directly
* For a ship/basis: https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/bybasis/Polarstern
** The name of the ship has to be UTF-8-URL-encoded
** If the ship’s name includes special characters, they need to be encoded accordingly: https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/bybasis/Meteor%20(1964)
* All campaigns can also be accessed by their project acronym (shows all campaigns linked to the project, and all campaigns linked to a dataset of that project): https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/byproject/IODP
* Station lists for a cruise/campaign can be accessed here: https://www.pangaea.de/expeditions/events/PS114
* Default format is HTML, a tab file of a list can be downloaded by including “?format=textfile” in the URL
