1.0. Purpose and Audience
The Data Management Protocol for the Tropical Ecology, Assessment and Monitoring
(TEAM) Network describes the guidelines, processes and available hardware and
software solutions for the collection, management and distribution of TEAM Network
data. It does not describe the entire TEAM Information Management System (IMS) or
provide technical documentation for components of the TEAM IMS. The intended
audience is all TEAM Network Members involved in the collection, management or
distribution of data and metadata from the TEAM Standard Biodiversity Monitoring
Protocols. This is a dynamic document that will be updated as the TEAM Network
grows and the Information Management System evolves.
2.0. Introduction
The TEAM Network is committed to making data from the Standard Biodiversity
Monitoring Protocols globally accessible to the scientific and conservation communities
and to the general public in as close to real time as is technically feasible. Rapid
dissemination of TEAM data to the global scientific and conservation communities is
crucial to maximize the utility of TEAM data for change detection and for informing the
development of sound conservation strategies.
3.0. Data Management
Data management is the process of collecting, organizing, archiving and preserving data
in perpetuity. The TEAM Data Management Protocol is designed to ensure the integrity
and maintenance of the TEAM data throughout their life cycle.
Data and Metadata
TEAM data include the field observations, collections, laboratory analysis, and postprocessing of existing data generated from the TEAM Standard Biodiversity Monitoring
Protocols. To fully understand, use and preserve the integrity of these data, additional
information must be collected. This is known as Metadata. Metadata are data about data.
Both metadata and data are collected in a standardized fashion during each TEAM
monitoring data collection event.
Figure 1 illustrates the flow of information from TEAM Monitoring Sites to the data
management system. This figure illustrates five components of the data management
process:
•
•
•
Data Collection: Data are collected on Field Forms using the TEAM Standard
Biodiversity Monitoring Protocols.
Entering Data to the Excel Templates: The Field Forms are transcribed into a
digital format using the standardized Excel Templates. Data Dictionaries specify
the types and ranges of the values that can be entered in each cell of the template.
Data Transfer, Archive, Management and Dissemination: After entering the data
and metadata from each data collection event into the Data Entry Template, the
3
TEAM-DMPv1.doc
file is given a standardized name and then it is saved. Data files are uploaded to
the data repository from where they are transferred to the database. All TEAM
Data are then distributed via the WWW. The original Field Forms are archived in
a secure location.
4.0. Flow of information in TEAM
The flow of information in TEAM is illustrated in Figure 1. This figure and the
following sections describe in detail the steps that occur as information flows from the
field or the laboratory into the Information Management System.
Figure 1. Data Management Workflow for TEAM Monitoring Protocols.

TEAM-DMPv1.doc
4.1 Data Collection
Each time you collect TEAM data in the field or the laboratory, you should record the
observations or other information on the standardized Field Forms associated with each
protocol. Using these forms ensures consistency among different observers and different
sites. These forms can be downloaded from the TEAM website (www.teamnetwork.org)
and printed onto waterproof paper for field use. You should check the web site each
month to make sure you are always using the latest version of the Field Forms.
Using the Field Forms simplifies the process of recording the data and also limits the
number of data entry mistakes.
Whenever possible, work with a partner when collecting data in the field or the lab. For
example, if one person makes the observation or measurement, the second person can
record the information on the Field Form and repeat the value out loud for verification.
This helps in catching mistakes during data collection, and improves the quality of the
data.
At the end of each day review your Field Forms to identify any obvious mistakes. This
will reduce further data quality problems before entering Data into the Excel Templates.
4.2 Enter Data into EXCEL templates
Once the data from a particular Monitoring Protocol are collected in the Field Forms, it
should be entered AS SOON AS POSSIBLE into the EXCEL TEMPLATE that is part of
the protocol. Ideally, the data should be entered into the Excel template each day, but if
that is not feasible, this should be done as soon as possible, at least on a weekly basis.
Each template has a DATA DICTIONARY, which is a table that describes all the
variables in the template, which type they are (i.e. an integer number, text, a date), the
value ranges that are permitted, and examples of each. When entering data into the
EXCEL TEMPLATE, make sure it follows the specifications outlined in the appropriate
DATA DICTIONARY. The DATA DICTIONARIES for all the protocols are included in
Appendix 4 and are available online at www.teamnetwork.org
Make sure that you transfer all of the information from the Field Forms to the EXCEL
TEMPLATE. The Minimum Data Standards (Appendix 1) provide guidelines for
reviewing the data in the template to make sure they are complete and contain allowable
values. If a species is unidentified for a record at the moment of data entry, make sure
that an appropriate and informative morpho-species name is included for that
record/specimen. This name is temporary but must be consistent across the whole data
set. For unidentified specimens, also include an appropriate specimen code, so that when
the specimen is identified it can be easily found in the database.
Once you have transferred all of the data for a given COLLECTION EVENT (refer to
each protocol for the definition of a COLLECTION EVENT) to the EXCEL
TEMPLATE, be sure to SAVE the file. When you save your file, use the following
naming convention (see also Table 1):
Two code letter for protocol - two code letter for site – date of last collection.xls
5
TEAM-DMPv1.doc
So, for example the name
BT-CX-2006-11-25.xls means that this is a butterfly protocol file (BT), from Caxiuana
(CX), where the last record in the file was collected on November 11, 2006. See Table 1
for the Protocol and site codes.
At this point, the file is ready to be uploaded to the TEAM DATA repository
(www.dadosteam.org.br or www.teamnetworkdata.org). Once you have saved your file,
but before you upload it, check the file thoroughly for mistakes (use the FILTER option
in EXCEL to look at the range of values for each variable).
!
4.3 How to update or edit records or files
Records with temporary species names or with incomplete information can be updated
after the original EXCEL TEMPLATE has been submitted to the DATA REPOSITORY.
Using the appropriate EXCEL TEMPLATE for the protocol, enter only the records that
need to be updated. Be sure you update ALL of the information for the record, i.e.,
include all of the variable information, even if that information was entered and sent
previously. When all of the updated records have been entered, save the file using the
standard naming convention above, but add UPDATE and a consecutive number at the
end of the file name: BT-CX-2007-11-25-UPDATE1.xls!

•
Make sure the most current Data Entry Template and Data Dictionary are used.
They are available at www.teamnetwork.org.
•
Be sure to save the Data Entry Template file using the appropriate file name.
•
Ensure all values in the Data Entry File conform to the definitions and rules
described in the Data Dictionary.
4.4 Uploading Data to the TEAM Server
Once the EXCEL TEMPLATES are complete and the files have been saved, they are
ready to be uploaded to the TEAM DATA REPOSITORY. At each TEAM Site, and for
each Protocol, it is best if there is a single designated a person who is responsible for
uploading the EXCEL TEMPLATES for each TEAM Protocol. The TEAM DATA
REPOSITORY is available at www.teamnetworkdata.org and the BRAZIL TEAM
DATA REPOSITORY is available at www.dadosteam.org.br. Instructions on how to
upload Data Entry Files are available here:
http://wiki.teamnetwork.org/wiki/display/TEAM/TEAM+Data+File+Upload
4.5 Archive Field Forms
The paper Field Forms are a critical part of the data management process. DO NOT lose
them. They are the primary source of documentation for each observation and
measurement. Be sure to archive all Field Forms in a secure place and keep an inventory
of the archived forms. Each TEAM Monitoring Protocol specifies the precise archival
format for the Field Forms but general guidelines are described here.
An “Original” and “Back-up” Field Form archive are required for each TEAM Protocol.
These two archives should be situated in separate geographic locations to ensure that the
archives are not destroyed in case of fire or flood. Document these locations, as well as
the person responsible for maintaining the archives, and send this information to the
TEAM Network office. The “Back-up” archive should be updated every quarter with
photocopies of the original Field Forms from data collection events occurring during that
quarter.
Store all Field Forms in binders in the designated archive. Field Forms should be grouped
by data collection event. Example data collection events for the current TEAM
Monitoring Protocols are monthly for butterflies and birds and annually for trees and
lianas. A 2006 Butterfly Field Form notebook for example, will contain all the Field
Forms for the year partitioned by the monthly data collection events. Additional dividers
within a data collection event can be used to further divide Monitoring Protocols that
have many types of Field Forms. Lastly, keep a back-up copy of all Field Forms in a
separate location. Copy all Field Forms and send to this archive each quarter.
Important Points
•
Designate geographic locations for the “Original” and “Back-up” Field Form
Archives.
7
TEAM-DMPv1.doc
•
Inform the TEAM Network office of the locations and the person responsible.
•
Setup the binders to contain the TEAM Monitoring Protocol data for one or more
years.
•
After each data collection event, archive the Field Forms in the “Original”
Archive.
Each quarter, make a photocopy of the original Field Forms for that quarter and
put these copies in the Field Form “Back-up” archive.
•
A Data Entry File will only be Accepted if it meets the Minimum Data Standards
(See Appendix 1).

5.3. Tropical Ecology, Assessment and Monitoring (TEAM) Network Data
Use Policy
The Tropical Ecology, Assessment and Monitoring (TEAM) Network Data Sharing and
Use Policy outlines the TEAM Network standards for data sharing, access, authorship,
citation, and restrictions of TEAM data, and applies to all contributors and users of
TEAM data.
The TEAM Network of Conservation International (CI) funds and coordinates the
systematic monitoring or biodiversity through a network of tropical field stations, to
quantify and forecast changes in biodiversity at local, regional and global scales. TEAM
aims to understand both the underlying dynamics of biodiversity, and the responses of
biodiversity to major drivers of change, particularly changes in climate and land use/land
cover. The TEAM Network members recognize that achieving this goal requires the
coordination of an integrated and systematic sampling program at multiple spatial and
temporal scales. Further, to maximize the utility of TEAM data for change detection and
for informing the development of sound conservation strategies, rapid dissemination of
TEAM data to the global scientific and conservation communities is crucial. Thus, the
TEAM Network is committed to making TEAM data globally accessible to the scientific
and conservation communities and to the general public.
TEAM Network Data Access Requirements
The access to all TEAM data is subject to requirements set forth by this policy document
to enable data providers to track usage, evaluate its impact in the community, and
confirm users' acceptance of the terms of acceptable use. These requirements are
standardized across the TEAM Network to provide contractual exchange of data among
Network Data Providers and Data Users that can be encoded into electronic form and
exchanged between computers. This will allow direct access to data through a common
portal once these requirements have been fulfilled. The following information is required
directly or by proxy prior to the transference of any data object:
Registration:
1. Name
