This page gathers the example bundle, portals, tools and reference material used during the training.

Workshop bundle

The hands-on sessions are built around a single set of example files drawn from a climate projection study. Together they represent a complete piece of work: the processing script that produced the results, the result tables, a presentation communicating the findings, and the data management plan that governs the project. That completeness is the point: it is what turns a folder of files into a Knowledge Package that someone else can understand, cite and reuse.

File	What it is	Nature
station-1.csv	Monthly temperature series for a single meteorological station	Synthetic
trend-results-location.csv	Mann-Kendall and Sen’s slope trend results for that station	Synthetic
models-biases-temperature.csv	Temperature bias metrics from a model evaluation across CMIP6 models	Synthetic
koppen-modal-ssp585-2071-2100.js	Google Earth Engine script computing the modal Köppen-Geiger climate zone across 32 CMIP6 models, scenario SSP5-8.5, period 2071–2100	Real — the script behind the results
presentation-2025.pdf	Example presentation communicating results from the model	Example
kalamkas-dmp.pdf	Data management plan written for the project the other files belong to	Real — produced as part of doctoral research

Why some files are synthetic

The CSV files are fabricated stand-ins with realistic structure, so that participants can practice publishing without redistributing research data. The Earth Engine script and the data management plan are genuine artefacts. Knowing and stating which is which is itself part of the exercise. Provenance belongs in the metadata, not in the heads of the people who made the files.

About the examples

The example bundle used in the hands-on sessions draws on a climate projection study by Kalamkas Yessimkhanova, who authored the Google Earth Engine processing script, the results presentation and the data management plan included in the workshop bundle.

The script targets a study area outside South Africa and refers to private Earth Engine assets, so it is not meant to be re-executed during the training. It is included as a realistic example of a processing script that deserves to be preserved, versioned and cited as a Software resource.

Related tools

During the ecosystem session, participants are introduced to auxiliary tools that support the full lifecycle of a Knowledge Package:

• GEO Link Checker - keeps published content sustainable by monitoring the links referenced by Knowledge Packages.
• GEO Self-Assessment Dashboard - supports onboarding and self-evaluation of published content.
• AI-assisted authoring and curation - support for drafting and enhancing Knowledge Packages.
