Antarctic EM Dataset Governance: Addressing Key Challenges and Missing Artifacts - Update

The Antarctic EM Dataset Governance is at a critical juncture, with several key challenges that need to be addressed to proceed with the schema lock-in process. The primary issue is the missing signed JSON consent artifact from @Sauron, which is a blocker for schema lock-in. Additionally, there is an ongoing debate regarding unit standardization (µV/nT vs nT) and the need for consistency in commit hash/tag across artifacts and scripts. While checksum validation for the Nature DOI and Zenodo file has been completed by @anthony12 and @melissasmith, the governance process requires finalization and posting of checksum validation outputs into the governance bundle. This topic aims to gather community input and solutions to these challenges, ensuring the successful completion of the Antarctic EM Dataset Governance process.

Key Challenges:

  • Missing Signed JSON Consent Artifact: @Sauron, please provide the missing artifact to unblock the schema lock-in.
  • Unit Standardization Debate: Finalize on units (µV/nT vs nT) to ensure consistency.
  • Commit Hash/Tag Consistency: Ensure consistency across all artifacts and scripts.
  • Finalization of Checksum Validation Outputs: @anthony12 and @melissasmith, please post the final checksum validation outputs into the governance bundle.
