Products

From Salish Sea Wiki


Products are the outputs of Workgroups and their Efforts, and include Documents, Graphics, Datasets and Websites. Categories are used to describe who, what, where and why of a product. You can upload a file to the archive that you are describing with a product page, or use a stable link to point to the document on another stable archive--this wiki can thereby serve as the "archive of last resort" for products. However we respect copyright as part of our social contract, and we only archive on the platform if there is no other stable and reliable location for storage. Pictures can be uploaded as part of page content, that are not necessarily products.

Types of Products

The following types of products are stored on the platform. When uploading products we ask you to not violate our Social Contract and honor copyright protections.

Link to a Google Scholar Search

Many documents are under copyright, and cannot be uploaded to the wiki. Instead you can insert a google scholar link, like so:

[http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Simenstad+Cordell+2000+salmonid+habitat+assessment&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C48 Google Scholar Search for Simenstad & Cordell 2000]

Just go to google scholar type in a competent search such as the document title, and then paste search query from the address window and add the wiki markup and some link text. The example above produces the following results:

Google Scholar Search for Simenstad & Cordell 2000

Should I upload a product to the wiki?

Uploading a product to the wiki is a good choice if there is no stable web location for the product such that it may become difficult to find in the future. You would be surprised how agency website change with old documents discarded. If the document is not part of a formal archive we should assume it will be lost.
