[tdwg-content] Public Review of Chronometric Age Extension to Darwin Core open

[John Wieczorek]

The ChronometricAge Task Group (https://www.tdwg.org/community/esp/chrono/)
has completed a round of public commentary for the Chronometric Age
vocabulary extension to Darwin Core. During the course of the review,
several amendments, clarifications and additions were recommended and
implemented. The discussions and changes are documented (Github issues
15-24 at
https://github.com/tdwg/chrono/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22Process+-+under+public+review%22)
and the results have been deployed to both the normative term list for the
vocabulary (https://tdwg.github.io/chrono/list/) and its Quick Reference
Guide (https://tdwg.github.io/chrono/terms/). The latter is the easiest way
to assess the current state of the vocabulary, while the former provides
the full history of the terms with all of their metadata.


The Task Group welcomes any further feedback now that these changes are in
place. The continuation of the original 30-day period for public comment
(beginning 2020-11-21) has been extended to 5 March 2021 to allow
stakeholders to assess the updated Chronometric Age Extension and provide
further recommendations if necessary. The purpose of the review is to allow
the broadest possible community to see the proposed vocabulary in action
and to assess whether it is sufficiently complete and clearly documented
that it can provide a stable addition to the standards for sharing
biodiversity data.


For this extended public commentary period, no update was made to the GBIF
Chronometric Age Extension document. An update for that will be provided
when the vocabulary has been ratified.



To view the proposal and/or engage in the review, visit https://github.com/
tdwg/chrono/issues/15, which will provide further guidance and the means to
comment. If you are unable or prefer not to submit comments via GitHub, you
can send comments to the ChronometricAge Task Group convenor at
gtuco.btuco at gmail.com. In the absence of objections or substantive
amendment requests, the review will close on 2021-03-05."
