There are three ways you can sign in to TERN:
AAF users will be redirected to their university's login page, CILogon users will be redirected to the CILogon process, and Google users will be redirected to their Google Account login page. Institutions using Microsoft credentialing will be able to login using CILogon by selecting Microsoft from the Identity Provider dropdown. Once logged in using any of these services, you will be automatically returned to the TERN system. AAF users will be directed immediately to the TERN registration page to create an account. CILogon users will also be directed to the registration page, however it should be noted that TERN systems require your CILogon account to be linked with your AAF account if you have one. When you log in for the first-time using Google, you will be required to wait for a confirmation email before accessing the website. The email notification will take somewhere between 5-10 minutes to appear in your inbox. Please note that the confirmation link expires after 5 minutes. If your link has expired, you will be able to get it re-sent by reattempting to login on the TERN website using Google. If you don't have either an AAF, CILogon or Google account, please contact esupport@tern.org.au so that we can organise a guest account for you. |
Data Cart
The next step is the Data Cart page where the system prepares to package your data set ready for download. You are required to title your dataset so that it is uniquely identifiable, and you can also add an optional Description to give more information about your dataset.
In this example, the Filter section is expanded to show the parameters of the search results used for this dataset. The title is informative and human readable, and more detailed information has been included in the Description field.
The output format dropdown menu allows you to select the files that you wish to include in the data download. By default, the package includes a CSV and a GeoJSON file, but you can also opt to have the TERN Ontology CSV file included.
When you have completed the , press the “Request Data” button to continue.
This will enable you to download the dataset to your local computer for analysis.
