Hi All,<br>
<br>
The TDWG Executive and the Technical Architecture Group (TDWG TAG)
has reviewed the MOU proposed by the DwC-MIxS Interoperability TG.
The MOU seems quite positive but we do have implementation questions
and want to discuss them with you and those that maintain DwC (the
DwC Maintenance Group). So, ...<br>
<br>
We're organizing this event: Review MOU for Sustainable DwC-MIxS
Interoperability<br>
<br>
We need to find out your availability. This link will show you our
proposed times.<br>
All you need to do is click on when is good for you ...<br>

Thanks!<br>
Debbie, et al from the TDWG Executive<br>

GSC to ensure sustainable interoperability between DwC and
MIxS. <br class="">

We hope that you will consider our TG report/outputs in your
upcoming meetings and will provide feedback where necessary,
which will be appended to the report for consideration of future
TGs. In particular, feedback on the MoU supporting its adoption
would be valuable to the community.<br class="">

[1] This TG brought together experts from the Biodiversity
Information Standards (TDWG) and the Genomic Standards
Consortium (GSC) - alongside key external stakeholders (OBIS,
GBIF, Pensoft, etc.) - to develop an approach to promote
sustainable interoperability between the Minimum Information
about any (x) Sequence (MIxS; maintained by the GSC) and the
Darwin Core (DwC; maintained by TDWG) specifications. We 1)
generated, and internally reviewed, a fine-grained mapping of
DwC to MIxS in a standard format (SSSOM), 2) implemented new
extensions to DwC, and 3) developed recommendations on how to
expand on and sustain these. We have also identified areas of
concern, which are in need of further attention and follow-up
TGs. (<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.tdwg.org/community/gbwg/MIxS/__;!!DZ3fjg!swlSHu1JbCyhzK_2SLi_Gq1VAy7ZxDMP3_1JOuvXS4VZeZAdK7mRJAETcMuj6DqtDA$" class="" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.tdwg.org/community/gbwg/MIxS/</a>) <br class="">
