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.
