As we fill this out, it’s very important to select an appropriate mapping predicate [4] for machine-level understanding. We should also make liberal use of the comment column to note any concerns or inconsistencies. <br class=""><br class="">One-to-many and many-to-one mappings will be captured by duplicating the relevant subject/object in a separate row. Please use our issue tracker [5] to note any comments or difficulties during the mapping, with one issue per term. This will help us transparently log and discuss the challenge as we overcome it.<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">==NEXT STEPS==<br class="">John Wieczorek has kindly taken a first pass at the mapping in our spreadsheet and created issues on our issue tracker for discussions/comments. <br class=""><br class="">In preparation for our next meeting, please </div><div class=""><ul class="MailOutline"><li class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">review the first-pass mappings and extend them by mapping any terms that are of particular concern to you in the packages.</span></li><li class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">note any issues/uncertainties (such as duplicated labels on different MIxS terms) on our issue tracker.</span></li><li class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">also, on our issue tracker, note any other challenges/questions in mapping the terms or using the map for implementations.</span></li></ul><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div>==REGULAR MEETINGS==<br class="">To continue the work of the TG we’ll be having regular meetings every two weeks. Please fill out this <a href="https://doodle.com/poll/ssy3z9ucrpu9krkk?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link" class="">doodle poll</a> to find a suitable weekday. Don’t worry if you can’t make the exact date in the poll this time around, this is more to find a convenient day for all subsequent meetings.<br class=""><br class="">According to the output of the previous doodle poll, the time option is limited to 4 pm UTC. Please let us know if this should pose a challenge for any of you.<br class=""><br class="">Thank you and best wishes, <br class="">Raïssa and Pier<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">[1] Running notes document <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1569Q7D0Tm03vRQmu2L2WykI63Uk8Aa20GJBC7kUnMZ4/edit?usp=sharing" class="">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1569Q7D0Tm03vRQmu2L2WykI63Uk8Aa20GJBC7kUnMZ4/edit?usp=sharing</a> <br class="">[2] SSSOM mapping <a href="https://github.com/mapping-commons/SSSOM" class="">https://github.com/mapping-commons/SSSOM</a> <br class="">[3] DwC-MIxS mapping spreadsheet <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k6Xe1OREUVISLjw1XLrtLqWsE7QgvWf7lSIXEbqXDpA/edit?usp=sharing" class="">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k6Xe1OREUVISLjw1XLrtLqWsE7QgvWf7lSIXEbqXDpA/edit?usp=sharing</a> <br class="">[4] Mapping predicates <a href="https://github.com/mapping-commons/SSSOM/blob/master/SSSOM.md#common-mapping-predicates" class="">https://github.com/mapping-commons/SSSOM/blob/master/SSSOM.md#common-mapping-predicates</a> <br class="">[5] Issue tracker <a href="https://github.com/tdwg/gbwg/issues" class="">https://github.com/tdwg/gbwg/issues</a> <br class="">[6] Doodle poll <a href="https://doodle.com/poll/ssy3z9ucrpu9krkk?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link" class="">https://doodle.com/poll/ssy3z9ucrpu9krkk?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link</a> <div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
