Outline of BiP. Level 0 data obtained through biologging, which are raw sensor data collected from recorders, are integrated with metadata related to the organism, instrument, and deployment to generate standardized Level 1 data. Level 1 data consist of sensor data fully equipped with metadata, including ownership information, and are available either as open data under a CC-BY license (with all sensor data and metadata downloadable) or as restricted data (with metadata/route map publicly available but sensor data kept private). DOI information for publications utilizing these data can be linked, enabling proper citation by third parties. On BiP, Level 1 data can be visualized through maps and time-series graphs. Additionally, compatible Level 1 data can be processed through OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) to calculate environmental parameters such as ocean wind, surface currents, and wave conditions, promoting secondary usage as Level 2 data
