LEDA Data Contribution


The LEDA Traitbase has been compiled from various sources. During the funding period of the LEDA Project, partners integrated their own data bases into LEDA, compiled extensive literature surveys and organised measurement campaigns. External contributors agreed to give trait data to LEDA. These data were reviewed by the LEDA Editorial Board and then incorporated into the Traitbase.

The LEDA Consortium welcomes people interested in delivering new data to the LEDA Traitbase. These data can be measurements or literature compilations. The LEDA Data Standards provide baseline information on how the data should be organised. Please use the Data Import application and the help pages. To assure data quality and consistency with the LEDA data standard, the LEDA Editorial Board will review the data before incorporating them into LEDA.

When a contributor enters data into the LEDA Traitbase these data will be placed in a unique batch that can only be edited by the data owner (batch owner). The batch will be uploaded and send to the LEDA Editorial Board (LEB) for a data check. After approval of the data, the batch will be closed and entered to the Traitbase. When the data in a batch is disapproved, the batch will be deleted. However, if only part of the batch is not accepted, the batch owner will get this part of the batch back for editorial purposes according to LEB instructions. After revision the batch can be resubmit for approval by the LEB. The batch owner will be notified each time a decision has been made on their batch.

All contributors supplying a considerable amount of data to LEDA (e.g. 100 single records) are listed on the LEDA contributors list.
