TEAM DataPackage
2
3
  A DataPackage is a zip file that contains all of the datasets selected to download in the
4
  Data Query and Download section of www.teamnetwork.org.  The TEAM DataPackage also contains important
5
  metadata documents that will help you to understand and use TEAM Protocol data.  When a TEAM DataPackage
6
  is unzipped directories will be created for each Protocol for which you have selected to download data. For example,
7
  if only Avian Protocol data was selected an "Avian" directory is created.  In this directory will be all the data files
8
  and the metadata file associated with the Avian dataset.

The TEAM Network Database is constantly being updated with new data as it comes in from TEAM Sites.  Data are also
40
constantly undergoing QA/QC (Quality Assurance and Quality Control) measures to ensure
41
TEAM Network Data are of the highest scientific value.  Therefore it is important to check back frequently to ensure you
42
have the latest TEAM Data.  A "Dataset ID" is included in each TEAM Protocol dataset to easily track which version of data
43
you have downloaded.  Please refer to the Data Use Policy printed in the first 62 lines of each dataset for questions
44
on the use or acknowledgement of TEAM Data.
