| Lineage | Movebank's database is designed for locations of individual animals over time, commonly referred to as tracking data, and measurements collected by other sensors attached to animals, as well as information about related animals, tags and deployments. Those collecting data can add it to the database through automated data feeds supported for over 20 tag manufacturers or file uploads, manage data quality and additional information about animals, tags and deployments, and share their data publicly or with select users. They can collect capture and deployment information in the field using the Animal Tagger mobile app and send it directly to Movebank, and the Animal Tracker mobile app supports management of observations submitted by citizen scientists and other notes, correspondence and images describing the lives of tracked animals. They can also submit their data stored in Movebank for publication in the Movebank Data Repository, a CoreTrustSeal certified repository that offers data citations, persistent identifiers (DOIs) and long-term public archiving through the Communication, Information, Media Centre of the University of Konstanz. Data owners, the public and anyone granted access to non-public data can explore data through Movebank's website, the Animal Tracker mobile app, and resources developed by other groups using Movebank's APIs. For those seeking advanced user-friendly analysis, the Env-DATA System offers tools for linking data in Movebank to hundreds of environmental variables. The MoveApps platform, currently undergoing beta testing, will offer a place to share and use data processing, analysis and visualization modules, ideal for custom solutions to support training, research and applied wildlife management. |
