In this project, we will produce 1) customized ingestion scripts for soil carbon related data sets that are in existing repositories, and 2) scripts for output databases that conform to common templates. We will do this via an open community project on GitHub where data providers (or data discoverers) will link to existing soils data, coders will script up ingestion code, and reviewers will QA/QC the code. We will also design an educational component to teach data management and basic scripting skills needed to participate in this project as a coder.
