Metadata: Joint Cetacean Data Programme Database
Abstract:
The Joint Cetacean Data Programme (JCDP) aims to promote and facilitate streamlined access to cetacean survey data collected from vessel and aerial platforms, by collating the growing evidence-base across the northeast Atlantic into a single accessible resource. The JCDP encourages data collectors to come together to make high quality standardised data more readily available via the JCDP Data Portal and enable development of open access data products to better inform research. The project has produced an agreed Data Standard and created a dedicated online portal to host cetacean survey data collected from vessel and aerial platforms, as well as a number of key data products that will be developed from the data. More information about the programme is available on the JCDP Information Portal: www.jncc.gov.uk/JCDP
Data holder:
Joint Nature Conservation Committee, Peterborough Office
Use constraints:
The JCDP consists of both open access and restricted access datasets. Please read the JCDP data provision, access and use guidance for more information on accessing and utilising datasets from the JCDP data portal. This guidance document is available from the JCDP Information Hub www.jncc.gov.uk/JCDP
| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 136 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Joint Cetacean Data Programme Database |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | JCDP Database, JCDP Data Portal |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 052c1d27e8c20db0b294b68c53b35714 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | f7b9234a-8f9c-4db3-bcd3-898952b5cd9a |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2005-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2022-08-08 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | irregular |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The JCDP is a collaborative project which facilitates data owners and custodians to make their data available in a standardised format. Historically, collated datasets were licenced for use for the specific projects or analysis for which they were requested and could not be used for future work without additional permission from the data owners or providers. There was a need to work with data providers in finding a solution to this barrier by storing these collated data in a standardised format long-term, and making them available for continued use to improve the capacity for analysing and better understanding cetaceans in the northeast Atlantic. Addressing this need has been the driver behind the JCDP, which aims to provide a platform for collation, standardisation, storage, and access of cetacean data collected at sea via ship-based or aerial observer and digital surveys. It is a growing resource that will enable best use of all available comparable data from which to carry out analyses at relevant spatial and temporal scales to inform cetacean management, policy and conservation. More information is available on the JCDP Information Portal: www.jncc.gov.uk/JCDP The datasets available in the JCDP are standardised versions of original datasets held by the data owner/custodian. Please see metadata records for each dataset for specific details. The JCDP data standard is a MEDIN endorsed data standard which also follows a specific collection method as provided by JCDP, see https://data.jncc.gov.uk/data/1b35ddf6-c469-4bf8-8300-86ec21da1c2d/jcdp-data-collection-guidance-v1-0.pdf |
