Anitra platform is a comfortable environment to store, visualize and analyze telemetry data and manage even very complex telemetry projects.
 
  
−
The tool is flexible enough to host datasets generated by transmitters of any brand (manual and automatic data feed) however some of the most advanced features are tailored to complement the unique onboard functionality of ANITRA branded GPS-GSMS transmitters only. The very core functionality serves as a device backend for Data Owners/Admins. Data owners can make their data available to other users or even make their data public in a simplified and secured way using an elaborated sharing scheme. Each user can possibly act in both modes (i.e. admin for owned or administered devices and viewer for data shared with him by others). Most of the platform functionality is free of charge and available to anyone. Only large data volumes might be possibly restricted or charged.

'''ABOUT'''
 +
<br>
 +
: Anitra platform is a flexible environment that allows storing, analyzing, and visualizing telemetry data. On top of actual telemetry data, a lot of additional metainformation and field information can be stored to document and visualize data in a very rich context. Anitra is primarily tailored to manage even very complex telemetry projects but similarly, a single user data can be comfortably maintained.
 +
 
 +
: The tool allows hosting data generated by transmitters of any brand however some of the more advanced features are tailored to complement the unique onboard functionality of ANITRA GPS-GSM transmitters only. Part of the core functionality serves as a device backend for Anitra tags (a functionality meant Data Owners/Admins). An elaborated sharing scheme allows granting a full range of access rights from "admin" to "view only". Data in form of the maps can be made public in a very controlled and safe way. Most of the platform functionality is free of any charge and available to anyone having some defined access rights to particular data sets. Some data-intensive areas such as data/photo storage might be possibly restricted or charged per amount of data.

'''MAIN CONCEPTS'''
 +
<br>
 +
: Anitra data model is based on the following key concepts:
  
−
Log in/ Sign up screen of ANITRA platform available at https://app.anitra.cz/
+
: '''Device'''
 +
:: Device (or Tag) entity represents the physical telemetry device hardware that collects particular telemetry data. Any tracking and sensor data need to be linked to some device.
  
 +
:: Additional attributes related to the hardware (Brand/producer, model, serial number, GSM no., other extensions, etc.) can be stored in the device structure.
 +
 +
:: Devices are created automatically in the system while importing a new telemetry dataset (via Import or Integration flow) or created by us in the case of Anitra devices (created as part of the device purchase process).
 +
 +
:: Each device has its "Ownership" defined i.e. definition of which organization or individual user created it or has the master administration access to it granted (including delete rights) - see more below.
 +
 +
 +
: '''Animal'''
 +
:: Animal (or Individual) entity represents a particular animal/individual
 +
 +
:: The main attributes for an Animal are its Species, Sex, and Dates when Born and Died (~ which also defines the current age e.g.).
 +
 +
:: Additional complex meta-information can be linked-to Animal such as origin info, relationships to other animals, ringing, tagging or trapping details, and mortality attributes
 +
 +
:: Photos (or documents) can be attached either directly to the Animal entity or indirectly to some related entities or Events such as Tagging or Mortality.
 +
 +
 +
: '''Tracking'''
 +
:: Tracking (or Deployment) entity defines the relationship between Devices and Animals primarily in terms of time.
 +
 +
:: The date(time) interval defines when the device was physically attached to the Animal
 +
 +
:: ''Note when looking at the timeline of a particular Animal, multiple telemetry devices might have been used to track it subsequently (e.g. first tag failed and removed or was shed by the animal). Similarly, when analyzing Device usage history a single device might have been possibly reused several times for Tracking various animals (e.g. one animal died, the tag was recovered and reused elsewhere).''
 +
 +
:: Besides the time aspect, some additional details such as place of tagging, place of release, tagging persons, various notes, photos, etc can be attached to Tracking Start/End. 
 +
 +
:: Tracking inherits permissions from its parent Device entity so users with device owner/admin access can create and modify the deployments as well.
 +
 +
 +
: '''Device Data''', Records, Positions
 +
:: A basic level of tracking/measurement information
 +
:: Data are accessible refering Devices, Trackings and Animals (s)

−
** Note some related aspects using SFTP:
 
−
*** only new data are integrated once the data flow is activated.  
 
−
*** for importing older data (records created before the feed activation) use import functionality (any duplicate records are merged or skipped so you can import the same period repeatedly). 
 
−
*** only the devices marked for SFTP export in the Ornitela panel will be automatically updated into Anitra
 
−
*** make sure you also update the connector definition anytime you are changing your Ornitela user password
 
−
*** also bear in mind that modifying the list of devices marked for SFTP (unchecking and checking again) will result in the data flow interruption and thus to some possible gaps in the data.

* Anitra platforms data model is based on the following key concepts:
 
−
 
 
−
==Device==
 
−
* Represents physical hardware device to which all the tracking and sensor data are linked
 
−
* Allows storing info related to hardware (Brand, logger model, serial number, GSM no. etc.)
 
−
* The device in the system can be created:
 
−
** By purchasing Anitra logger (the device will be created and assigned to Anitra Customer)
 
−
** By importing tracking file (csv, kml/kmz, gpx)
 
−
** Automatically by Integration (i.e. automated data feed e.g. from Ecotone or Ornitela panels)
 
−
 
−
==Tracked Object (or Tracking)==
 
−
* Represents particular animal carrying logger device, a single device can be reused several times (in case of mortality of tracked object)
 
−
** Allows filtering (e.g. display, share) relevant subset of device data
 
−
** Allows attaching meta-information related to:
 
−
*** The tracked Individual (species, sex, age, ringing, origin, etc)
 
−
*** The tracking of that animal (start of tracking, end of tracking, mortality attributes, photos/documents)
 
−
** Tracked animal in the system can be created
 
−
*** Using "split tracking" functionality in the device profile
 
−
*** Using "create new tracking" functionality in the device profile

−
 
 
−
* For maximum benefit of a full array of Anitra functionality (data filtering, mortality warnings, advanced sharing, etc.) we highly recommend to maintain "Device Statuses" for your devices and Tracked Objects for your study animals up to date.
 
−
 
 
−
* Available basic "Device Statuses":
 
−
** '''Backup / Pool''':
 
−
*** To be used for spare/pool devices which are not currently in the field and are planned to be (re)used in the future.
 
−
*** New devices which appear in the system are labeled "Backup" status automatically
 
−
** '''Deployed''':
 
−
*** To be used for devices that are currently deployed "in the field" and potentially sending data
 
−
*** There are 4 sub-statuses available that allow the user to configure Anitra behavior further
 
−
:::::'''1. Deployed Active''':
 
−
::::::::* Known to be currently delivering data reliably and  new data expected to be updated on a regular basis
 
−
::::::::* Mortality notification should work reliably
 
−
:::::'''2. Deployed Down''':
 
−
::::::::* Known to be still delivering data (at least for some time), but based on data received the device very likely not already attached to the target animal (shed/down logger, the killed animal)
 
−
::::::::* Hardware to be either recollected or written-off
 
−
::::::::* "New data" notifications could help investigate the case until the logger transmits data
 
−
::::::::* After collecting all possible information and closing the case the device should be turned to "Archive" status
 
−
:::::'''3. Deployed Missing''':
 
−
::::::::* Data delivery suddenly interrupted, last positions do not show animal/logger issue
 
−
::::::::* "New data" notifications possibly used to notify on the restoration of data transfer
 
−
:::::'''4. Deployed Problem''':
 
−
::::::::* Depending on the issue type the data delivery fails or some sensor data might be unreliable
 
−
::::::::* Allows suppressing mortality notification as false or confusing warnings may be raised
 
−
::* '''Archive / Discarded''':
 
−
::::::::* meant for "out of use" devices (inactivated, suspended, finished) not expected to deliver any new data
 
−
::::::::* Turning device into this state allows suppressing warning scheme 
 
−
::::::::* Allows to store and filter out archive data
 
−
::::::::* Note that devices created through import functionality are by default switched to this state
 
−
 
 
−
==Tracking EndDate==
 
−
 
 
−
* Device Statuses are meant to help to control active Loggers >> Tracked Objects (Trackings). In order to receive a meaningful warning, it is highly recommended not only to turn inactive devices to Archive but also to end related active Tracked Objects (Trackings) whenever the tracking in the field is over (i.e. you do not expect to receive any new data).
 
−
** Ending Tracked Object / Tracking is done by filling in date into field "End of tracking" in the Tracking profile
 
−
** "End Of Tracking" field leaves space for individual interpretation. For instance in case of mortality you can include the period when the tracked individual was alive only or you might as well close the tracking date later when the device was physically found and removed. 
 
−
** Note that you can additionally enter more detail related to mortality event ("Estimated date of death", "Mortality Reason", "Mortality Note", "Mortality Photos/Documents/Reports")

ABOUT

Anitra platform is a flexible environment that allows storing, analyzing, and visualizing telemetry data. On top of actual telemetry data, a lot of additional metainformation and field information can be stored to document and visualize data in a very rich context. Anitra is primarily tailored to manage even very complex telemetry projects but similarly, a single user data can be comfortably maintained.
The tool allows hosting data generated by transmitters of any brand however some of the more advanced features are tailored to complement the unique onboard functionality of ANITRA GPS-GSM transmitters only. Part of the core functionality serves as a device backend for Anitra tags (a functionality meant Data Owners/Admins). An elaborated sharing scheme allows granting a full range of access rights from "admin" to "view only". Data in form of the maps can be made public in a very controlled and safe way. Most of the platform functionality is free of any charge and available to anyone having some defined access rights to particular data sets. Some data-intensive areas such as data/photo storage might be possibly restricted or charged per amount of data.
Home screen of ANITRA platform is at https://app.anitra.cz/

MAIN CONCEPTS

Anitra data model is based on the following key concepts:
Device
Device (or Tag) entity represents the physical telemetry device hardware that collects particular telemetry data. Any tracking and sensor data need to be linked to some device.
Additional attributes related to the hardware (Brand/producer, model, serial number, GSM no., other extensions, etc.) can be stored in the device structure.
Devices are created automatically in the system while importing a new telemetry dataset (via Import or Integration flow) or created by us in the case of Anitra devices (created as part of the device purchase process).
Each device has its "Ownership" defined i.e. definition of which organization or individual user created it or has the master administration access to it granted (including delete rights) - see more below.


Animal
Animal (or Individual) entity represents a particular animal/individual
The main attributes for an Animal are its Species, Sex, and Dates when Born and Died (~ which also defines the current age e.g.).
Additional complex meta-information can be linked-to Animal such as origin info, relationships to other animals, ringing, tagging or trapping details, and mortality attributes
Photos (or documents) can be attached either directly to the Animal entity or indirectly to some related entities or Events such as Tagging or Mortality.


Tracking
Tracking (or Deployment) entity defines the relationship between Devices and Animals primarily in terms of time.
The date(time) interval defines when the device was physically attached to the Animal
Note when looking at the timeline of a particular Animal, multiple telemetry devices might have been used to track it subsequently (e.g. first tag failed and removed or was shed by the animal). Similarly, when analyzing Device usage history a single device might have been possibly reused several times for Tracking various animals (e.g. one animal died, the tag was recovered and reused elsewhere).
Besides the time aspect, some additional details such as place of tagging, place of release, tagging persons, various notes, photos, etc can be attached to Tracking Start/End.
Tracking inherits permissions from its parent Device entity so users with device owner/admin access can create and modify the deployments as well.


Device Data, Records, Positions
A basic level of tracking/measurement information
Data are accessible refering Devices, Trackings and Animals (s)


Group, Project, Study
Person, User, Role
Data owners can make their data available to other users or even make their data public in a simplified and secured way using an elaborated sharing scheme. Each user can act in both modes (i.e. admin for owned or administered devices and viewer for data shared with him by others). Most of the platform functionality is free of charge and available to anyone. Only large data volumes might be possibly restricted or charged.

PUBLISHED MAPS: How do I show an overview of our study results to the public?

A detailed guide to to Published maps functionality is available here.

A tool tailored to configure simplified and secured live telemetry maps from your full data sets.
Configured maps are available in form of a link or in form of short HTML code which can be simply added to your web presentation or published on Facebook.
Map output can be created:
* on top of single organization data
* or accross more complex ownership structure of covered by a "project"
The functionality includes:
  • animal selection
  • language variants
  • tracks vs. last position modes, grouping options, ordering, data filtering (e.g. track simplified to one position a day)
  • security features (security delay, zoom restriction, position "rounding")
  • presentation and visualization tools (a default map selection, icon/track styles, choice of icons, logos with links, foto gallery)
Map editor with a live preview can be used to configure the map

DATA FLOWS: How do I get the data IN/OUT?

Anitra offers a range of data manipulation options on how to get data and metadata IN or OUT of the platform.
This functionality area involves features such as Import, Export, Ddata Integration or API
The options range from purely manual (e.g. manual data exports or data imports) to fully automated (e.g. inbound data flows for Ornitela, Ecotone, or Movebank).
Some flows make sense for the particular user but most of the data management tools are meant to be configured at the level of customer/organization (hence available in customer profile)
Outbound data flows
Inbound data flows
