Automated observations of natural occurrences play a key role in monitoring biodiversity worldwide. With the development of affordable hardware like the AudioMoth (
The Scientific Monitoring Data Management and Online Repository (SIMON) consists of a portable data collector and a connected online repository. The data collector, a device for the automated extraction of the audio data from the audio loggers in the field, stores the data and metadata in an internal cache. Once connected to the internet via WiFi or a cable connection, the data are automatically uploaded to an online repository for automated analysis, annotation, data management and dissemination.
To prevent SIMON from becoming yet another proprietary storage, the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable)
open source software, FAIR, biodiversity information standards
