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').

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.  
 
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.

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_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').

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.ee_shared_tracking_speed_limited (view)

Shows the tracking data for trackers that other projects have shared with your projects.

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.

COLUMN_NAME TYPE_NAME IS_NULLABLE DESCRIPTION
device_info_serial int4 NO Serial number of the tracker that reported the acceleration measurement.
date_time timestamp NO Time to mark the start of the acceleration block.

Shows the acceleration start data for trackers that your memberships allow you to see.

It has the same fields as gps.uva_acc_start102.

gps.ee_shared_acc_start_limited (view)

Shows the acceleration start data for trackers that other projects have shared with your projects.

It has the same fields as gps.ee_acc_start_limited.

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.

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

COLUMN_NAME TYPE_NAME IS_NULLABLE DESCRIPTION

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.
