SLGO is the first integrated ocean observing system in Canada.
Research and monitoring data represent an irreplaceable scientific heritage that must be:
The objective of the current document is to offer such basic concepts, to contribute to a better understanding of the data life cycle, to provide principles and to foster the adoption of environmental data management best practices. Such an endeavour is part of the St. Lawrence Global Observatory mandate as a service to its members, specifically targeted towards SLGO members without all the necessary infrastructures and means required to manage their data.
Each step of the data life cycle is presented and discussed. Additionally, three of the main themes of this cycle are further developed under specific titles: sustainability, metadata and data sharing.
