CONTEXTS IN ETN
Before uploading, editing or viewing data, the user must select a context.
METADATA TABLES
Once a context is selected, the user is able to select metadata tables. These table allow to manage, explore and visualize the metadata.
DETECTIONS TABLE
The detections table allow to query data according to network and animal project. Due to the big amount of detection data (over 714 million detections as of April 2023) the query may take several minutes. Fastest data download options are the RShiny Explorer and the ETN R Package.
UPLOAD TOOL
Data on detections and metadata of technologies, animals and deployments can be imported through the upload tool. The data upload page provides a tutorial on how to upload data to ETN.
