Submission of GEOJSON data to the DCDB
All data submitted to the DCDB need to be in .geojson (preferred) or XYZ format and contain appropriate metadata fields. These requirements are outlined in DCDB guidance documents.
- For WIBL or YDVR data, you will need to upload data periodically. See the WIBL and YDVR Data Processing protocol for full details.
- For Mussel Kit data, OFM handles data submission on behalf of the Trusted Node, using the Trusted Node's secure token.
- OFM can also provide the raw data back to Trusted Nodes via Dropbox or AWS S3 buckets (other options are also available).
Once your WIBL or YDVR data have been validated, they can be submitted to the DCDB using the following PowerShell script:
#Run Windows PowerShell 7 as an administrator
#Run the following code
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
#Close Windows PowerShell 7, then reopen (not as admin)
#Set directory to WIBL data-management scripts folder
cd .\Desktop\WIBL-main\wibl-python\scripts\data-management\
#Activate environment
conda activate wibl-python
#Submit to DCDB
.\submitDCDB.ps1 [[-inPath] <string>] [[-authFile] <string>] [[-configFile] <string>] [[-extension] *.geojson]submitDCDB.ps1: -inPath is the folder where validated .geojson files are saved, -authFile is the authentication token .txt file, -configFile should be the same as used for processWibl.ps1, and -extension should be set to *.geojson.
Example: .\submitDCDB.ps1 -inPath C:\Users\schernoch\Documents\CSB\Chance-Maritime\2-Validated\ -authFile C:\Users\schernoch\Documents\CSB\Chance-Maritime\3-Submission\ingest-external-COMITUSF.txt -configFile C:\Users\schernoch\Documents\CSB\Chance-Maritime\0-Metadata\configure-submission-USF.json -extension *.geojson
When a file is successfully submitted to the DCDB, you should receive the following output:
Each time a file is submitted successfully, the program will print a submission ID. Make sure to log these submission IDs in case your files need to be tracked down by technical support staff at the DCDB for whatever reason.
If you are unable to batch-submit your processed data using the WIBL PowerShell script provided above, you can use either of the following options to manually submit your .geojson files to the DCDB
