Some thoughts about usage of some of the terms under discussion and the ultimate goals

I often use the term "abundance" as a refinement of the term "occurrence".

I say  "Species X occurs or does not occur at Location L.  This kind of statement is refined with a statement such as "Females are rare in March" or "Juveniles are common or very abundant in July".  The details of the life stage, timing and numbers of individuals or groups are more specific but still categorical.

I think of such statements as being derived from "expert opinion" or being summary statements based on enumerations from a series of samples taken during several field trips. I think these kinds of generalities are useful for policy making.

In terms of data, the simplest category is "presence only" data. Some times this is referred to as occurrence data - some number of individuals are seen at a particular time and location. Many museum records fall into this category as there is no other information associated with the specimen.  Such records are equivalent to an incidental sighting by a field ecologist.

Today many biodiversity data are collect following a particular protocol. Here sampling effort is known.  A specific number of individuals seen in a "given area" and during a known time interval. From this information one can compute population densities.

As several others have commented, the results are dependent on the particular protocols and it can be difficult to reconcile data from two different protocols.  How are data from pitfall traps equivalent to data from baits.....? This is an important challenge because we know that usually one and often two protocols are insufficient to characterize the presence of all members of a taxon

If I am not mistaken, the goal is to establish terms that will let humans efficiently prepare data and write programs so that machines can reason with the data. If so, the key challenges seem to be

1) Distinguishing presence-only data from data collected using known protocols
2) Finding ways to reconcile data from different protocols

I agree Rob that the discussion has gone somewhat astray (context is so critical!)  And as a measure proportion or percentage in a material sample, I think "abundance" (unqualified) is not a good choice of concept name because its too easily confused with the meaning in survey or ecological data.  But I would also note that the concept of proportion in a sample applies very well to sampling events where no material is collected.  Are those concepts equivalent/same-as?  They seem close.  Let's think carefully before we apply this concept to the material sample class without thinking about how it applies to the occurrence class.

If a biologist uses "abundance" in reference to the occurrence of organisms in nature, it is most fundamentally about the intersection of taxon-place-time (all of which can be scoped wider or narrower in precision).  Take away any of those elements of context and the "meaning" is lost.  Also abundance can (should) be conceived in a statistical framework if additional metadata are provided.  I would say that the additional metadata is what really distinguishes measures of abundance (density, etc.) from the typical natural history collection specimen's data about its origin.

Finally, the statistician in me compels me to say that it's better to report raw numbers (with metadata) than already partially computed statistics (like proportions).

Minor point, but I did not mean to imply that observing geese was a survey - it is an observation. My point was that both observations and surveys are NOT material samples.

I also now see Rob's point re. making abundance a property of material samples in that the original definition proposed was ""The number of individuals of a taxon found in a sample..." Sorry I missed that earlier (I hate long email threads). This definition has a much narrower scope than what people have been discussing on this list (which is a good thing - DwC goes astray sometimes in trying to write definitions that cover everything), but it also does not define what many ecologists are talking about when they use the term abundance. If DwC needs a term for the number of individuals in a sample, simply call it something like "number of individuals in a sample", not "abundance" or "quantity" or some other vague and ambiguous name. Of course, I think that property already exists with "individualCount".

Assuming that DwC is going to continue to be used to describe survey data (a separate debate), I feel that there is a place in DwC for the concept of abundance (as it is typically used to describe the absolute or relative numbers of a taxon in a specified area over a specified time, and typically determined by some kind of survey), but I think it makes more sense to spend some time modeling it in the BCO and PCO first, then -- once there is some consensus about what abundance means logically -- see how it can fit into DwC.

  Hi everyone --- Respectful, minor disagreement with Ramona on one point.  A "survey" is defined as a "examin[ation] and record[ing] [of] the area and features of (an area of land) so as to construct a map, plan, or description."  So I a not sure I think Hannu spottiing ~1000 geese (which is a nice image) is a survey, per se -- there is no assessment of the area recorded or a process described about doing "survery things", which seems critical to me.  It is what might be called a "sighting" by an ecologist.  I think these terms do matter in the discussion at hand.

  Inherent in Ramona's email is something about which I agree and think is important.  I think Ramona was pointing out that some quantities about numbers of "biological things" are tied to what we call samples, and some may fit under occurrences.   Mostly, I agree that it is complex, and context dependence is particularly important.

  Just a reminder about "Abundance" as it was proposed here.  This is from John W's original email on this topic.  The definition was "The number of individuals of a taxon found in a sample. This is typically expressed as number per unit of area or volume".  That was the definition.  Not sightings. Not records of weight of a bunch of fishes caught in a net. Doesn't this definition rather imply that abundance is derived from a sample?

  Unfortunately, looking through this conversation, I don't see clarity emerging.  Donald's points are not the same as Aaike's point or Hannu's points.  "Abundance" is not "quantity".  Aaike wants to separate measurement quantity into one field and call it abundance, and have another for the unit type, when the ecological definition of abundance is basically number of individuals found in a sample, and thus separating units and sampling is not really possible given the definition of the quantity.

  I need to ask again: Do we understand what we are doing with abundance well enough to model it in Darwin Core, and if we do it poorly, are we really helping to model ecologically relevant measurements for the scientific community?

Best, Rob

I would not recommend making abundance a property of material sample, because there are many cases where abundance would be used for observations (such as in Hannu's most recent example) and not for material samples. Many surveys are also observations, and not sampling events. While I sympathize with Rob's point (somewhere down on this list) that scrunching too much meaning into occurence is a problem, this is already the state of affairs. I would contend that a survey is "evidence of an occurence in nature" so abundance (when it is a property of a survey) is still a property of an occurence.

In general, the notion of abundance is complex and context dependent, and capturing that complexity is probably beyond the scope of a flat vocabulary like Darwin Core. I am not opposed to adding abundance terms to Darwin Core, and I think the proposals are getting close to a good way for doing so. However, I think it is important to complement the DwC terms with a more semantically rich vocabulary like Biological Collections Ontology (BCO) or Population and Community Ontology. I would not call modeling abundance a "trivial" use case for the Biological Collections Ontology (BCO), but I would call it a central one.

Basically I support the views of Aaike and Donald.  Keep the quantity
and unit separate.  No need for special term for AbundanceAsPercentage,
then.

However, I am a bit uncertain whether "Abundance" is the right term.
How about "Quantity"?  It is more generic, and can be applied for
example, to a catch of 1000 kg of fish and a harvest of 200 cubic meters
of timber.  "Abundance" is semantically not right for those measures.

I also think that a range for the quantity is needed, to express
uncertainty about the quantity. I saw about 1000 geese this morning,
certainly more than 500 but less than 2000.  Uncertainty is so common in
sightings.

Are we also going to deprecate "IndividualCount"?  I hope so.

Hannu
