As we are discussing in the "National database - Consortium approach?" topic, http://dataversity.org.nz/r/topic/2ZAsRMxXLUQvvNuywq11Oy one potential outcome of Dataversity is the formation of consortia to develop software. CADDIS-Fly is a freshwater biological monitoring database that was developed by Paul Barter http://dataversity.org.nz/p/7qg4sSF5S9MlSNcQti3ira of Cawthron, http://cawthron.org.nz/ for a consortium comprising Horizons, West Coast Regional Council and Hawkes Bay Regional Council. CADDIS-Fly is the "Cawthron Archival and Data Delivery Information System" (CADDIS), adapted specifically for the above regional councils. It provides for data management at a greater resolution than similar national databases, but stores data in a standard format that can easily be uploaded to NZFFDB or FBIS. The development of CADDIS-Fly was supported by funding from Envirolink. You can read more about CADDIS-Fly in the following project progress report http://envirolink.govt.nz/reports/documents/417-HZLC42.pdf written by James Lambie http://dataversity.org.nz/p/jameslambie of Horizons in June 2008. As both James Lambie and Paul Barter are in this group, if you have any questions about CADDIS and CADDIS-Fly, please ask them here. Paul has agreed to demonstrate CADDIS-Fly at the national Dataversity workshop on 19 & 20 March. http://dataversity.org.nz/r/post/5gj2EviF6rJFc3OWvxlkgJ James and Paul, if you have comments to add, please post them here, too. It would be particularly interesting to know if you have some plans for making CADDIS-Fly available to other councils, on some basis.

Thanks Dan. I'm in the process of meeting with Paul B to chat about CADDIS.

Hi All, I have started using the CADDIS-fly database in more depth (loading up some invertebrate and periphyton data). While I am having "isses" there are not to do with the database itself. I will elucidate further at the workshop in Wellington next week. The main points for this posting are; CADDIS-Fly is easy to acquire and a useful place to hold aqautic data. It will (or is easily able to be made to) render data in such a way that the data can be migrated to Fresh Water Biodiversity Information System (FBIS) or National Fresh Water Fish Database (both NIWA national data management systems). CADDIS-fly versions have the "advantage" over national (centralised) data management systems in that if your council prefers that you hold on to your data, you can. But you still have a data management system that (if we all use it) is standardised between councils. CADDIS-fly may be a permanent feature of Horizons data management or may be interim until we have worked out whether FBIS would serve us better. The decision to move to centralised systems is both operational and political. Points I am sure will arise at the meeting next week. Jim Lambie

Could CADDIS be developed or linked to a terrestrial records data base? Yes, though it is something Horizons probably wouldn't do since we have a terrestrial ecosystems database in Access anyway . To make CADDIS work, all you would need to do is add terrestrial taxa to the taxon list. Plant names can be harvested from Landcare Research. Animal names can be harvested from Horizons if you like. You would have to add survey methodologies we use for terrestrial systems, but this would be a relatively simple exercise I think. Alternalitvely, if you have quite simple data recording needs, you could use the Biological Recording Network (www.nzbrn.org.nz) as described by Colin Meurk in last weeks postings. Another alternative, if you like Access databases and the bugs that come with them, is to have a copy of Horizons EcoBase. However, I would recommend seeing Auckland's EcoBase Mike McMurtry first, as it might be a better solution for your needs. Jim Lambie

cheers, Dan
Thanks again Dan for supplimenting the converstion with the exisiting links The Landcare Herbarium Plant Names Database is described and can be accessed here; (http://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/databases/db_details.asp?Database_Col lection_ID=3) Aaron Wilton is the primary contact. Horizons has (had?) a data use agreement with Landcare Research that allowed us to download the flora to EcoBase as needed. I have not undertaken a download since I took over curation of EcoBase, so I am not overly familiar with the mechanisms required. Jim L.

For people interested in terrestrial invertebrates, there is a potentially simple survey method and recording system based on insect and mite damage to plants.

How has CADDIS-Fly been developing in the last year? Can someone give us
an update?
It would be interesting to know something about any or all of the following:
How many councils are now using CADDIS-Fly?
What is the scope of ecological data that
CADDIS-FLy is in use for?
Which of the councils using CADDIS-Fly are
regularly updating FBIS with data from their
local database?
What improvements have been made to CADDIS-Fly,
and which councils have updated their local systems
to incorporate those improvements?
What improvements are planned for CADDIS-Fly?
And, can someone refresh my memory: does
CADDIS-Fly consume authoritative taxonomic data
from an external source? How is that handled?
Can someone provide a more comprehensive description
of CADDIS-Fly than the one in our system guide?

Hi All, I can answer Dan's questions only from Horizons' point of view - Paul Barter is perhaps best to address the number of councils now involved, future improvements, and database description. Development continues with Paul releasing a number of versions this year with incremetnal modifications that make the data entry much faster and tidier. I have been finding a few bugs but every time I call Paul up report them, he is already on the case. I'm about to have a crack at running a conversion from NZMG to NZTM coordinates and either Paul or I will report the success of this at the workshop. The scope for data seems endless to me. We are not using many of the options that are available. At the moment we store all of our macro-invert count data and MCIs (and QMCIs), we record our periphyton in sample/transect sequence and CADDIS calculates the average percent cover. Recording substrate composition, temperature, and conductivity is intuitive amd easy to get in and out of the database. I am about to embark of a mass migration of Chlorophyll-A data into the database. We get Cawthron to do our Chla analysis, so in the future, it should be even easier to get the data from the lab into the database (a lot less manual entry. We probably will harvest NZFWFDB records for the region and pop these in CADDIS, though this is not a high priority. We're putting our fish data directly into NZFWFDB rather than holding on to it. We're not actively exporting to FBIS for an inordinate number of reasons (the main one being, with CADDIS, we don't need to use FBIS!). Improvements: We're still using version 3.10 but Paul has indicated there's a version 4 on the way. The improvments to date (that we have noticed) have been ones that speed up data entry and eradicate bugs. As stated above, there will be a tool for converting coordinates to NZTM soonish. I am about to set up a table that relates all of the sites in CADDIS to Hilltop and Paul is working on ways to export CADDIS data as Hilltop files so that data from both databases can be analysed in one (Hilltop) environment. Athoritative names: Nup - we're using the taxa list that Cawthron sent in the first version of CADDIS. I have added other "taxa" for periphyton. I don't forsee mapping the CADDIS taxon list back to the NZOR being an overly complicated process and is perhaps something for future development - Paul? Hope this is informative.
Jim

In response to you Dan, >Does this mean that you are only using CADDIS-Fly as a short-term repository for your fish data, and that NZFFD is the primary repository for Horizons' fish data? Presently, were not using CADDIS-Fly at all for the fish data. NZFFD is the primary data entry portal and repository.
