This repository contains the functionality to standardize data from the LifeWatch GPS tracking network for large birds so these can be published on Movebank.
- Reference data: UvA-BiTS database → Script to query data in the Movebank data format (defined in SQL) → Generated file that can be uploaded to Movebank
- GPS data: same as reference data
- Accerelation data: same as reference data
- Reference data: Spreadsheet → Script to query data in the Movebank data format (defined as
dplyr::mutate()) → Generated file that can be uploaded to Movebank - GPS data: Ornitela database → Live feed to Movebank by associating a selection of tags to a study
- Acceleration data: not yet defined
