OTN is a global organization.

OTN supports research in ways both technical and data related

The Data Portal has many useful features

Metadata templates are used to report records

OTN matches data and metadata across numerous geographic areas

Detection extracts are returned to researchers after data pushes

Inventory is important to keep up to date

Data files, along with metadata about the time and location, are needed for each mission

We have a current workflow for reporting, but are open to adapt

Asana helps organize and archive tasks

There are several ways Asana is used by the Field Team

All OTN-style Databases have the same structure

Databases are divided into project schemas which get certain tables based on the type of data they collect

Data in the OTN system moves from the raw tables to the intermediate tables to the upper tables before aggregation

A Data Push is when we verify all the data in the system, fix any issues, and then provide detection matches to researchers

Detection Extracts are the main end product of the Push

OTN provides support to researchers in many ways

GitLab helps organize and archive tasks
