RESICE - Reusability-targeted Enriched Sea Ice Core Database - Interactive data2source Traceability

The interactive_data2source_traceability.svg file illustrates data and metadata availability as well as their relation to their original sources for 287 sea ice cores that are part of the Reusability-targeted Enriched Sea Ice Core Database (RESICE) as it is published in Zenodo.

(a) shows the availability of selected data and metadata features (x-axis) for each sea ice core as indexed on the y-axis. The color map indicates the type of availability. Primary availability refers to data or metadata extracted directly from the data set. Secondary availability refers to data or metadata are extracted from articles or reports that provide supplementary information about the data sets. Tertiary availability means that additional resources unrelated to the data sets, such as instrument manuals, were used to obtain the metadata of interest.

(b) allows to trace the data and metadata collected per RESICE sea ice core back to their original data sources. Gray dots indicate the sea ice core - again as indexed on the y-axis. Green, orange and pink dots represent primary sources (data sets), secondary sources (articles and expedition reports) and tertiary sources (instrument manuals). 
Each of the dots is interactive, so you can click on it, and it will link you to the original doi or url of the source or to the YAML file in the RESICE living database provided on gitLab.

The code used to generate this figure is available in the pyresice Python package available on git.
