Uittreksel

Camera Trap Data Package (Camtrap DP, https://camtrap-dp.tdwg.org) is an open community-developed standard for the FAIR exchange and archival of camera trap data. Since its release in November 2023, the standard has been widely adopted by the camera trap community and is now the cornerstone of an ecosystem of interoperable tools. These include data management platforms (Agouti, Trapper, Wildlife Insights), R packages (camtrapdp, camtraptor, camtrapReport), publication tools (GBIF IPT) and visualization software (BioWatch, Wild Album). Together, they aid users in all aspects of the data life cycle and have become instrumental for meta-analysis in projects such as BIG_PICTURE. Camtrap DP has also gained the interest of the bioacoustics and image-based insect monitoring community. Through the Safe & Sound project and Insect AI COST action, we investigated how to extend Camtrap DP to facilitate their needs. We now plan to release a new version of the standard, while maintaining the existing software ecosystem.
