+ Harvesting is the name we use for the process of uploading/ingesting + large amounts of audio data (e.g 3TB, or 4000 files at a time) into our + website. For our users, this allows you to submit your recorded + environment audio for analysis and view the results directly through the + website. Currently harvesting performs several actions such as: +
+ ++ If you wish to upload your recorded audio data, press the button at the + bottom right which will guide you through the process. Please be aware + that this will take a long time to complete, however you are not + required to perform it all in one sitting. If you leave this page and + come back, it will automatically detect what stage of harvesting you + were at. +
++ The initial step to harvesting is to upload your audio data to our + server. The credentials you can see below are generated with one-time + details that will expire after [INSERT] hours. Please keep track of the + username, password, and URI until you have finished your upload. To + access the server, open the URI link in a new tab/window and enter your + credentials (username/password) when prompted. The file structure you + use is very important when you upload, and we ask you follow the + following format: +
+ +
+/{{ "{" }}project{{ "}" }}/{{ "{" }}deployment{{ "}" }}/{{ "{" }}site{{
+ "}"
+ }}/[{{ "{" }}memory_card{{ "}" }}/]
+
+ + We generally encourage users to copy in any relevant data. In + particular, leaving notes that describe the data (e.g “left mic failed”, + or “RTC failed, dates invalid”), or copies of their records. Any + metadata is appreciated. +
++ Most data should be put in the site folders as usually, most important + information is related to a sensor. +
+ ++ Currently our system is running an initial check of the files uploaded. + This is to ensure the audio files are valid, and will attempt to extract + useful metadata. Once checking is complete, you will be able to view a + list of uploaded files, their projects, sites, points, and status + (success, warning, error). +
++ The progress bar below shows you the current progress, and will update + automatically without refreshing the page. You can optionally leave this + page and come back at another time, and the site will take you to the + most up-to-date stage of harvest (i.e if checking is complete, you will + arrive on the Review page). +
+ + +
+
+ This is a review of the audio data you have uploaded. Data is + automatically categorized into three different states: Success, Warning, + and Error. Success implies that the previous step was able to + successfully extract the project, site, and point of an audio file. + Warning indicates that some errors may have been experienced attempting + to extract metadata from the audio file, and it may be missing project, + site, or point information. Error means an unrecoverable issue has + occurred and you may need to re-upload the file. +
+ ++ Harvesting the files into the system. This is transferring the files + from the server you uploaded to, into the relevant storage required to + view on the website. The progress bar below shows you the current + progress, and will update automatically without refreshing the page. +

+
+ This is a summary of all the projects, sites, and points that have been + updated. +
