P4 Tagging Software and MRR Data Model Preview John Tenney, Nicole Tancreto and Craig White Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission A Presentation for the 2015 PIT Tag Workshop Overview • • • • P4: Next-Generation Tagging Software Compatible P3 Replacement Beta version later this year Enhanced MRR Data Model What is the MRR Data Model? • MRR: Mark, Recapture, Recovery Events • Mark: fish tagged and released • Recapture: subsequent handling/release of tagged fish • Recovery: report mortality of tagged fish • Data Model: fields, relationships and validation • Regional Standards • Consistent data spanning 27 years • Goal: enhance data model + maintain data consistency and integrity Background: P3 Tag Session and Tagging File Header Detail Tagging File Format and Support • Continue support for legacy tagging file • Upload via P3 and Email • Enhanced MRR data model not supported • Import into P4 • P4: new file format and upload features • Improve feedback • Specifications to be published Proposed MRR Field Enhancements • Event Type • Values: Mark, Recapture, Recovery, (other) • Related Conditional Comment Flags optional (RE, M) • Tag Date => Event Date; Tag Site => Event Site • Event Date and Release Date include time zone offset • Dates entered in local time • Converted to PST in PTAGIS • Coordinator ID now Tag Data [Project ID] • Identify individual or long term research project • Data can transition between contacts over time • History of contacts maintained Proposed MRR Field Enhancements • Optional Lat/Long Coordinate for Release Location • Complimentary with River KM (RKM) • Associate codes of other tag types • CWT, Acoustic, Genetic, Radio • Other Requested Fields • BPA FWP Project Number • Life Stage • Gender • Spawn Year • Tag Type • Project/User Defined Advantages of P4 using Enhanced MRR Data Model • Compatible with existing data collection and reporting • P4 Tag Session can contain • > 9,999 records • Multiple MRR events for same tag • e.g. Mark + Recapture records for 3D9.1BF1234568 • MRR Events spanning multiple days and locations • Each MRR event record owns a copy of header fields • Global (header) fields in Tag Session limited to: • Project ID, Session Message and Session Note P4 Application Fundamentals P4 Configuration Features P4 Validation Code Management P4 Configuration Features P4 Configuration Tools P4 Configuration Profile: Devices P4 Configuration Profile: Device Test Terminal P4 Configuration Profile: Devices P4 Configuration Profile: Validation Constraints P4 Configuration Profile: Sound Alerts P4 Templates Editing a Template: Customized Data Entry Layout Editing a Template: Default Values Editing a Template: Default Values P4 Tag Actions Editing a Tag Action Other P4 Configuration Features P4 Data Entry Features P4 Data Entry Features P4 Data Entry Example P4 Session Information P4 Default Values P4 Data Entry View P4 Data Management P4 Data Management Features Conclusion • Feedback is vital to success of P4 • Recommend Online Forums at www.ptagis.org • Identify workgroup to evaluate P4 beta • Live training events TBD • Feature Rollout Background: Tagging Software Survey Summary Tagging Software Survey Summary Tagging Software Survey Summary Tagging Software Survey Summary Tagging Software Survey Summary Tagging Software Survey Summary Tagging Software Survey Summary Tagging Software Survey Summary Tagging Survey Summary of Feedback: • • • • • • • • • • • Workflow issues: 30% Consolidate tag data files: 25% Project-Defined fields 17% Spatial Needs: 15% Tablet Support: 15% No Changes Needed: 9% Measurement Changes: 7% Backwards Compatibility: 5% Exporting Format: 5% Device/Communication Needs: 5% Data Model Changes: 3%
