Data Tutorial
- Go to GEOME and create an account
- Create a project and join the FuTRES Team
- Naming convention: FuTRES_taxon_contributor_locality_time.period
- It is up to the user to choose projects / expeditions (datasets) as necessary
- e.g., each expedition could be a site and each project a collection
- the organization of expedition (datasets) can be however you would like (e.g., by site or time). FuTRES API already searches based on taxonomy and measurement.
- Fill in project metadata
- project title
- project description
- visibility (public/private)
- Note that even if projects are public, expeditions can be private
- principle investigator
- principle investigator affiliation
- citation
- This is needed if your license is CC BY or BSD
- Select the template generator to create a spreadsheet for entering data
- Fill in expedition (dataset) metadata
- expedition title
- Naming convention: FuTRES_taxon_contributor_locality_time.period_version number or date
- expedition code
- if expedition can be public or private
- expedition title

- Can load multiple spreadsheets at one time under same expedition name
- Will give a warning if something is wrong, but not fatal (can ignore; use your discretion)
- Will give an error if a value in a field is wrong (e.g., a string where numbers should be)
- Fill in expedition metadata
- expedition title - Naming convention: FuTRES_taxon_contributor_locality_time.period_version number or date
- expedition code
- Name your expedition:
- FuTRES_taxon_contributor_locality_time.period and version number or date
- Check that the term is not currently there
- Click on measurementType DEF of template
- Go to FuTRES Ontology of Vertebrate Traits (FOVT)
- Create a New issue
- Needs:
- term label
- synonyms
- Parts of the term
- anatomical feature
- anatomical points and/or anatomical axis
- measurement (e.g., width, length, etc.)
- reference for measurement (illustration if have it)
