<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DA">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We discussed the outstanding DwC-A extension questions with Pier and have a proposed way forward.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The motivation here is to keep the scope of the TG well-defined, and to progress exploratory activities that complement the work here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">1. Create a MIxS specific DwC-A Extension
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- Within the TDWG github<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- Containing only the fields of MIxS not covered by DwC<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- We will maintain a SSSOM mapping for the "covered" terms
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- This extension will be the reference showcasing the use of DwC and MIxS within a DwC-A for the report<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- Expected that TDWG / GSC will commit to maintain this with future changes in standards<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">2. GBIF create an additional DNA extension<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- In the GBIF schema repository (rs.gbif.org)
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- based on the MIxS Extension, but bringing in the additional terms necessary to satisfy the exchange needs of the GBIF/OBIS network<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- Documented in the description that it extends the MIxS one with a link<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- GBIF/OBIS progress with early adopters in data exchange, to be referred to in the report as a “case study” / example of use<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">3. Consider documenting other formats in the report<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- Ideas include the Frictionless Data, W3C CSV approach including a conversion to RDF<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Please say if you have any comments or concerns, otherwise we’ll work through this in the coming weeks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Many thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
