Basically I support the views of Aaike and Donald. Keep the
quantity and unit separate. No need for special term for
AbundanceAsPercentage, then.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Are we also going to deprecate "IndividualCount"? I hope so.<br>

"Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31,

“abundance”. If we understand “abundance” to refer to the
size and density of a population or species, then a survey
may give us a workable measure we can use to represent this.
I am thinking of mobilisation of less ambitious
measurements of relative abundance of a taxon in any
sampling event or set of associated observations. I visit a
reservoir and follow some standard protocol and count 30
mallards and a single gadwall. Today that might be exposed
in simple Darwin Core as two occurrence records, each of
which might somehow include an individualCount. In the
absence of any other information, this count information
cannot be seen as much more than an anecdotal annotation.
If we understood that these two observations were part of a
single survey event associated with a protocol also used for
some number of other survey events for which we have
observations, we could (in principle) find more ways to
explore the significance of the count and use it to help to
fine-tune distribution models and to enhance them to
indicate patterns of abundance. If we can find a way to do
this consistently for all types of biodiversity observation
(malaise traps, transects, expression of ITS or CO1 from
environmental samples), a large number of databases already
contributing to GBIF and other networks could immediately
offer a richer view to users and analysts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family:
"Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31,

properties that are available for use with any occurrence –
a sampling event id, a sampling protocol identifier (ideally
a URL leading to information on the protocol) and a relative
abundance value within that sample. Any occurrence record
could include these fields if appropriate. Of course more
normalisation is possible, but DwC has never been about full
normalisation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

support for such elements. I personally think we’ve tied
ourselves in unnecessary knots with our use of Occurrences,
Events, Material Samples, etc. I wish we just had an agreed
meta-model/ontology which provides a graph of classes of
interest to our domain (specimen, collection, taxon concept,
taxon name, locality, collector, etc.) and a set of uniquely
named properties each of which is associated with one of
these classes or links instances of these classes. Darwin
Core should then allow for the denormalised representation
of any view corresponding to a subgraph of that model.
Occurrence, Event, etc. should then be names for
popularly-used subgraphs and should represent the logic for
unpacking those denormalised DwC records back into a graph
of meta-model objects (in other words they should express
something like what SPARQL query might be able to extract
this kind of record from data organised using the
meta-model/ontology).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> I agree with Donald here regarding
the need for Abundance, but am, to be honest, not quite I
understand (or agree) with the logic of the proposal.
Abundance is listed as a property of an occurrence, and I
wonder if that make sense given the class definition "The
category of information pertaining to evidence of an
occurrence in nature, in a collection, or in a dataset
(specimen, observation, etc.)" Is abundance "evidence of
an occurrence in nature". To me, abundance is a property
of a survey and its associated methodology and is based on
multiple occurrences that come from a sample and a
definition of extent. <o:p></o:p></p>
