Movebank GPS data
By Peter Desmet (INBO) and Sarah Davidson (Movebank)
Animal GPS tracking data formatted in the Movebank Attribute Dictionary.
Deployments (animal+tag associations) are parent events, with tag attachment (a human observation) and GPS positions (machine observations) as child events. No information about the parent event is provided other than its ID, meaning that data can be expressed in an Occurrence Core with one row per observation and parentEventID shared by all occurrences in a deployment.
We recommend using the "movepub" R package, which was developed in collaboration with Movebank and GBIF. Its write_dwc() function automatically transforms (Frictionless) Movebank data to Darwin Core and EML (see also tutorial).
O_ASSEN - Eurasian oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus, Haematopodidae) breeding in Assen (the Netherlands) is a bird tracking dataset published by the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). The original dataset contains reference, GPS and acceleration data for 6 individuals.
