From the users' perspective, the database is split into two schemas: ''admin'' and ''gps''. The ''gps'' schema is meant for data that should be readily available for users, and that they may edit via the services (software tools) offered to that effect. The ''admin'' schema is meant to host data only accessible for the administrators of e-Ecology.

Whenever a tracker is attached to a bird, a track session must be started to indicate that the tracking data that is received is already live data. If the tracker is separated from the bird, the tracking data ceases to make sense, so the track session's end date should be set to denote it has ended. New track sessions can be started if the tracker is re-attached to a bird (possibly the same as before, or maybe a different one) afterwards.

Shows information of the track sessions that other projects are sharing with your projects and within which dates.
+
In some cases you may be interested in sharing data from an individual bird with all users from a specific project, you can then provide that project with access to that individual bird for a specific period of time.  This is called "sharing".  To view information that has been shared with other projects, use the shared views. To make data available for viewing on the UvA-BiTS website each project administrator must also "share" the tracker for the period of interest with the website project (key_name = 'WWW').

==== ''gps.''ee_species (table) ====
 +
 
 +
Each row represents a species.
 +
 
 +
Each bird now holds a reference to a record in this table. Only UvA-BiTS administrators will maintain the catalogue of valid species, so if you need to add a bird for which a species is not yet in the system, you must contact them. This way we ensure that the species' names are consistent.

Projects can now share tracking information from specific time periods with other projects. They can do so by creating a '''sharing''' of a tracker they own with another tracker. They can share the same tracker with the same project in multiple different periods.
 +
 
 +
You can only share trackers you own and within the time periods that your tracker belongs to you.
 +
 
 +
The motivation here is to let projects decide which trackers to share on the http://uva-bits.nl website. For example, you may want to allow the general public to see your birds' tracking data for the whole year every year except spring, because you may want to hide your birds' nest location. If you want to show a tracker on the website then you need to share it with the project whose key name is WWW. Then, if it's the first time you are going to show a tracker on the public website, contact the UvA-BiTS administrators so that they prepare the dynamic map for your project.

 +
Each row represents the fact that a tracker's information within a specified period, can be accessed by users belonging to another project.

Latest revision as of 09:47, 23 October 2014

From the users' perspective, the database is split into two schemas: admin and gps. The gps schema is meant for data that should be readily available for users, and that they may edit via the services (software tools) offered to that effect. The admin schema is meant to host data only accessible for the administrators of e-Ecology.

The following tables are available

Contents

Tracking data

Track sessions

A track session links a tracker and a bird for a given period of time. Therefore, it is mandatory for projects to supply this piece of metadata before they can see any tracking data related to a tracker they own.

In order to create a track session, the project must create first an entry in the system for the bird that they are attaching the tracker to, and this is the way for the UvA-BiTS community to make sense of the tracking data that we are receiving. This is why providing the metadata is so important.

By editing the start and end dates, administrators of the project that this track session belongs to, can delimit (and therefore, establish) when the coupling makes sense (or is to be understood as useful).

Whenever a tracker is attached to a bird, a track session must be started (start_date) to indicate that the tracking data that is received is already live data. If the tracker is separated from the bird, the tracking data ceases to make sense, so the track session's end date should be set to denote it has ended. New track sessions can be started if the tracker is re-attached to a bird (possibly the same as before, or maybe a different one) afterwards.

gps.ee_track_session (table)

Each row represents a track session.

COLUMN_NAME TYPE_NAME IS_NULLABLE DESCRIPTION
id int8 NO Unique identifier. Primary key.
end_date timestamp NO Date at which the track session is not relevant any more
operated_date timestamp NO Recording of the last time the row was edited
remarks text YES Free text for comments
start_date timestamp NO Date before which the track session is not relevant
start_latitude numeric(11,8) NO Latitude where the bird was tagged
start_longitude numeric(11,8) NO Longitude where the bird was tagged
version int4 YES Optimistic locking field. Ignore it as a user.
device int8 NO Reference to the tracker
individual int8 NO Reference to the individual
operator_user int8 NO Reference to the user who last edited the row
project int8 NO Reference to the project this track session belongs to

gps.ee_shared_track_session_limited (view)

In some cases you may be interested in sharing data from an individual bird with all users from a specific project, you can then provide that project with access to that individual bird for a specific period of time. This is called "sharing". To view information that has been shared with other projects, use the shared views. To make data available for viewing on the UvA-BiTS website each project administrator must also "share" the tracker for the period of interest with the website project (key_name = 'WWW').

COLUMN_NAME TYPE_NAME IS_NULLABLE DESCRIPTION
track_session_id int8 NO Unique identifier of the track session.

sharing_project_id int8 NO Reference to the project that owns the track session (and which is sharing it with the project that allows you to see it). Included just to enable joins.

Tracking fixes, speeds and accelerations

From the GPS tracker, we receive data files that are parsed and brought into the database. This gives us the GPS fixes and component speeds. Some calculations are made to also provide the 3D speed and the linear speed next to the GPS fix.

From the accelerometers, we receive accelerations from the different acceleration-vector components.

gps.uva_tracking_data101 (table)

Each row represents a GPS fix as it is interpreted from the data that comes via the GPS tracker.

This table structure has not changed with respect to our previous database.

It has the same fields as gps.ee_tracking_speed_limited.

gps.uva_acc_start102 (table)

Each row represents the start of a block of accelerations when a GPS fix is not available.

The logger tries to mark the start of blocks from the GPS fix that coincides with the begin of the acceleration block. If there's no GPS fix during that block, then it extrapolates the date and time and makes a special record which is interpreted by our accelerometer processing software and inserted into this specific table.

Therefore, to know all valid dates and times that mark a valid block for a tracker, you need to consider all of the values in column date_time on table gps.ee_tracking_data101 for the given tracker, and all the values on column date_time for that tracker. And the order is important within each block, so you should sort the acceleration measurements by block and index.

Added in firmware 1.0.2.7.

This table structure has not changed with respect to our previous database.

gps.uva_acceleration101 (table)

Each row represents an acceleration measurement as it is interpreted from the data that comes via the accelerometer. Acceleration is looked at in batches for a period of time, so the 3 components (X,Y,Z). The blocks are delimited by a starting date and time, and then each observation is numbered consecutively.

The logger tries to mark the start of blocks from the GPS fix that coincides with the begin of the acceleration block. If there's no GPS fix during that block, then it extrapolates the date and time and makes a special record which is interpreted by our accelerometer processing software and inserted into a specific table called gps.ee_acc_start102. Therefore, to know all valid dates and times that mark a valid block for a tracker, you need to consider all of the values in column date_time on table gps.ee_tracking_data101 for the given tracker, and all the values on column date_time for that tracker. And the order is important within each block, so you should sort the acceleration measurements by block and index.

gps.ee_tracker_sharing (table)

Projects can now share tracking information from specific time periods with other projects. They can do so by creating a sharing of a tracker they own with another tracker. They can share the same tracker with the same project in multiple different periods.

You can only share trackers you own and within the time periods that your tracker belongs to you.

The motivation here is to let projects decide which trackers to share on the http://uva-bits.nl website. For example, you may want to allow the general public to see your birds' tracking data for the whole year every year except spring, because you may want to hide your birds' nest location. If you want to show a tracker on the website then you need to share it with the project whose key name is WWW. Then, if it's the first time you are going to show a tracker on the public website, contact the UvA-BiTS administrators so that they prepare the dynamic map for your project.

Each row represents the fact that a tracker's information within a specified period, can be accessed by users belonging to another project.
