dc.description.abstract | Recent expansion in the capabilities of passive acoustic monitoring of sound-producing animals is providing ex-
pansive data sets in many locations. These long-term data sets will allow the investigation of questions related to
the ecology of sound-producing animals on time scales ranging from diel and seasonal to inter-annual and decad-
al. Analyses of these data often span multiple analysts from various research groups over several years of effort
and, as a consequence, have begun to generate large amounts of scattered acoustic metadata. It has therefore be-
come imperative to standardize the types of metadata being generated. A critical aspect of being able to learn
from such large and varied acoustic data sets is providing consistent and transparent access that can enable
the integration of various analysis efforts. This is juxtaposed with the need to include new information for specific
research questions that evolve over time. Hence, a method is proposed for organizing acoustic metadata that ad-
dresses many of the problems associated with the retention of metadata from large passive acoustic data sets.
A structure was developed for organizing acoustic metadata in a consistent manner, specifying required and op-
tional terms to describe acoustic information derived from a recording. A client-server database was created to
implement this data representation as a networked data service that can be accessed from several programming
languages. Support for data import from a wide variety of sources such as spreadsheets and databases is provided.
The implementation was extended to access Internet-available data products, permitting access to a variety of
environmental information types (e.g. sea surface temperature, sunrise/sunset, etc.) from a wide range of sources
as if they were part of the data service. This metadata service is in use at several institutions and has been used to
track and analyze millions of acoustic detections from marine mammals, fish, elephants, and anthropogenic
sound sources. | en_US |
