AcMeta

A metadata convention for processed acoustic data from active acoustic systems

This directory contains the text, source files, and utilities necessary to generate the AcMeta convention document. It is also the place where new versions of the convention are discussed and developed.

Version 1.10 of the AcMeta convention (as ICES SISP 4-TG-AcMeta) is available here. Previous published versions were 1.0 (2013) and 1.05 (2014).

Suggestions and contributions welcome

WGFAST welcomes suggestions, discussion, and contributions to this metadata convention.

Before submitting a pull request, please take a moment to find out whether your idea fits within the scope and aims of the convention, and whether your idea can be achieved within the existing metadata convention. It is your role to adequately explain and justify the merits of what you want. Please provide as much detail and context as possible. Good pull requests remain focused in scope and avoid containing unrelated commits.

Please ask the convention coordinators before starting on any significant pull request. Otherwise you risk spending a lot of time working on something that the convention’s coordinators might not want to merge into the project.

Need to add GH handles of convention coordinators.
