TEAM DataPackage A DataPackage is a zip file that contains all of the datasets selected to download in the Data Query and Download section of www.teamnetwork.org. The TEAM DataPackage also contains important metadata documents that will help you to understand and use TEAM Protocol data. When a TEAM DataPackage is unzipped directories will be created for each Protocol for which you have selected to download data. For example, if only Avian Protocol data was selected an "Avian" directory is created. In this directory will be all the data files and the metadata file associated with the Avian dataset. File Naming Convention: Data Package Each DataPackage has a unique ID generated on the data and time it was created: yyyyMMddHHmmss-<4 digits id> Package name: TEAM-DataPackage-.zip Dataset Each dataset downloaded will have the unique ID included in it's file name. CSV file name For a TEAM Protocol: --.csv Tab delimited file name for a TEAM Protocol: --.tab Metadata Each TEAM Protocol data file will have an associated metadata document. Metdata file name: -Metadata-..pdf Protocol Abbreviations: AV for Avian BT for Butterfly CL for Climate VL for Liana LF for Litterfall PR for Primate VT for Tree Important Information: The TEAM Network Database is constantly being updated with new data as it comes in from TEAM Sites. Data are also constantly undergoing QA/QC (Quality Assurance and Quality Control) measures to ensure TEAM Network Data are of the highest scientific value. Therefore it is important to check back frequently to ensure you have the latest TEAM Data. A "Dataset ID" is included in each TEAM Protocol dataset to easily track which version of data you have downloaded. Please refer to the Data Use Policy printed in the first 62 lines of each dataset for questions on the use or acknowledgement of TEAM Data.
