About Knowledge and Headlines
  • A oneFish Knowledge Object (KO) is any type of document, file or online resource relevant to fisheries and aquatic research and development that can be referenced or linked or uploaded into oneFish.
  • A oneFish Knowledge Object could be an e-book, e-document, project record, website, database, contact, institution, etc. etc. or purely a reference to a traditional resource obtainable in a library or only available from the publisher or originator.
  • A oneFish Headline or Media Object (HO) can be a news article, any type of event, a poll on an issue of current topical interest, or a job advertisement. News Articles, Event Information and Job Adverts can either be created in oneFish, or referenced and linked to, e.g. to a Conference website. News, Events and Jobs all have an expiry date after which they are deleted from the system. Polls are created in oneFish and retained in the system.

Adding Knowledge or Headlines

To submit knowledge to oneFish you must be a registered member of oneFish
  • Registered Members can suggest/submit new knowledge to appear in oneFish.
  • After login, use search or browse to find a topic you would like to submit your knowledge object to. If you are not sure or cannot find a topic to suggest your knowledge object to, you may either suggest a new topic or submit the knowledge object to the oneFish Database topic: 80723 and the Chief Editor will review your submission. 
  • In the bottom section of the topic screen you will see the +suggest link next to a drop down list of add forms. Click on the type of knowledge you would like to suggest, e.g. book, document, news, event, and it will move to the top of the list, then click on the +suggest link and the appropriate form will appear.
  • Following the on-screen examples, and the guidelines in the help (?) links, enter the information (metadata) requested in the fields provided.
  • Enter keywords specific to the subject of your knowledge or headline object using the recommended subject specific thesauri which can be accessed through the adjacent help links. Use the AGROVOC thesaurus for geographic, species and broad subject terms, and the ASFA thesaurus or Fish Technology Keyword List for more specific subject terms.
  • Click on Submit. You will be notified within a few days, via your oneFish Inbox, whether your knowledge object has been accepted by the topic editor.

Linking to Topics
  • When you suggest a knowledge or headline object, you can also suggest linking it to other topics in oneFish using the Relate KO to Topics box near the bottom of the suggestion form.
  • Click on the All Topics link in the left hand side bar of the suggestion form (this will open up the Topic Directory in a new smaller screen), then cut and paste the required topic number(s) only into the relevant box in the suggest form, separating each topic number with either a comma (,) or a semi-colon (;). When the Topic Directory opens it will go to the topic you are in. You can move up and down the current worldview or go to other worldviews to select topic numbers.
  • Click on submit and you will be notified within a few days through your oneFish Inbox if your knowledge has been accepted.
  • When your knowledge has been accepted by the first Topic Editor, the item is then automatically linked to all other topics it was submitted to and a posting will appear in the Recent Activity screens of the Editors of those other topics, at which point they can decide whether to accept the link, remove it or request that it is removed.

Editing Knowledge
  • Once your knowledge has been accepted you can then go back in at any time and edit the reference information (metadata) as necessary.
  • To access your knowledge or headline object, after login, click on My oneFish and go to My Knowledge, then click on the Edit tab next to the relevant knowledge object to go to the Edit screen and make the necessary changes.
  • Then click on `submit' to complete the edit process.
  • Please note that your knowledge object metadata may also be edited by the editors of topics it is linked to and by the Chief Editor, e.g. to correct any spelling mistakes or add additional standard keywords.

Deleting Knowledge
  • You can only delete Knowledge Objects that you own.
  • To delete knowledge, go into the Edit screen and click on the Delete button in the heading bar.
  • News, Events and Jobs all have an expiry date after which they are automatically deleted from the system.
