The GUANO bat acoustic metadata format specification

GUANO is the Grand Unified Acoustic Notation Ontology, an extensible, open format for embedding metadata within bat acoustic recordings.

This is the source repository where the metadata format specification itself is maintained. You probably want to see the actual GUANO metadata format specification: guano_specification.md.

The GUANO project homepage is a friendlier site where you'll find information on using the metadata, which products support it, etc. See: http://guano-md.org

If you're a hardware developer, software developer, or an end user interested in working with the GUANO metadata format, we offer the following Open Source reference libraries:

• guano-py (Also includes helpful utilities)
• guano-r
• guano-java
• guano-c

Finally, if you're simply looking for help (aren't we all??), try the GUANO discussion email list.
