LODS, the Hawaii Longline Observer Data System, is a complete suite of tools designed to collect, process, and manage quality fisheries data and information. Guided by the principles of the NOAA Data Quality Act, LODS is the result of the collaboration and cooperation of scientists, data collectors and information management experts across the NOAA Fisheries Pacific Islands Region.
LODS is an end-to-end data management solution, articulating the four major data management areas of data collection management, data resource development, data maintenance and data dissemination. Every effort was made to eliminate redundant or unnecessary data items and to have the core data collection items be formally adopted by data stewards that would assume the responsibility of maintaining complete documentation and regular review of the quality, objectivity and suitability of the data item.

| Abstract: |
LODS, the Hawaii Longline Observer Data System, is a complete suite of tools designed to collect, process, and manage quality fisheries data and information. Guided by the principles of the NOAA Data Quality Act, LODS is the result of the collaboration and cooperation of scientists, data collectors and information management experts across the NOAA Fisheries Pacific Islands Region. LODS is an end-to-end data management solution, articulating the four major data management areas of data collection management, data resource development, data maintenance and data dissemination. Every effort was made to eliminate redundant or unnecessary data items and to have the core data collection items be formally adopted by data stewards that would assume the responsibility of maintaining complete documentation and regular review of the quality, objectivity and suitability of the data item. |
| Purpose: |
To store observer data and allow end users to acquire data as requested. |
| Notes: |
LODS contains data collected in the Hawaiian Shallow set fishery, Hawaiian deep set fishery, and the American Samoa fishery. |

Data Quality
| Accuracy: |
Data are checked visually prior to data entry by observer and by a debriefer (first check). Data validations are run after data entry and all data are read back to catch and minimize data errors. Second data check is visually conducted on all data with a full read back of all data and data validations are run by second debriefer. Third data check is conducted on selected data fields and data validations are run by a third debriefer. |
