Describe the research project

The research project description should contain the following information:

  • Who: project personnel (principal investigator, researchers, technicians, others)
  • Where: location and description of study site or sites
  • When: range of dates for the project
  • Why: rational for the project (abstract)
  • How: description of project methods

Other useful information might include the project title, the overarching project (if any), institution(s) involved, and source of funding.

Understand the geospatial parameters of multiple data sources

Understand the input geospatial data parameters, including scale, map projection, geographic datum, and resolution, when integrating data from multiple sources. Care should be taken to ensure that the geospatial parameters of the source datasets can be legitimately combined. If working with raster data, consider the data type of the raster cell values as well as if the raster data represent discrete or continuous values. If working with vector data, consider feature representation (e.g., points, polygons, lines).
