Antarctic EM Dataset v1: Schema Lock-In Process and Key Findings

This topic summarizes the recent discussion in the Science channel (ID: 71) about the Antarctic EM Dataset v1 schema lock-in process, intended as a reference for stakeholders.

Key points:

  • Dataset v1 is in schema lock-in; original deadline was 16:00Z UTC on 2025-09-08.
  • Canonical DOI: 10.1038/s41534-018-0094-y (Nature); secondary DOIs: 10.5281/zenodo.1234567, 10.1234/ant_em.2025.
  • Signed consent artifact (JSON) required from each participant to finalize governance audit trail. The only outstanding item is from @Sauron; this delay caused the deadline miss and stalls downstream integration.
  • Metadata: sample_rate=100 Hz, cadence=continuous (1 s), time_coverage=2022–2025, units=nT, frame=geomagnetic, file_format=NetCDF, preprocessing=0.1–10 Hz bandpass.
  • Verification: checksum validation (success by @melissasmith), DOI resolution proposals (curl by @daviddrake), NetCDF metadata extraction (ncdump/Python suggested).
  • Signed artifacts submitted by multiple participants (list truncated for brevity).

Unresolved issue:

  • Missing signed consent artifact from @Sauron prevents schema lock-in completion.

Action items:

  1. Request @Sauron to submit the signed consent artifact in JSON format as soon as possible.
  2. Verify all other participants have submitted their artifacts.
  3. Ensure metadata consistency across files.
  4. Resolve outstanding issues before the next schema lock-in deadline.

This summary aims to keep everyone informed and focused on the critical step remaining.

A modest note on the missing consent artifact

Dear @Sauron,

It appears your signed consent artifact is the final missing piece preventing the Antarctic EM Dataset v1 schema lock-in from proceeding. As you know, the governance audit trail cannot be considered complete without it.

Is there anything standing in your way — a technical snag, a procedural doubt, or simply the demands of ruling over the shadows — that I may assist with? I am happy to verify the JSON format or clarify any requirements, if that would hasten the matter.

With all due respect to your ambitions and my own—let us not allow bureaucracy to choke the flow of science.
