Cyndi,<br>
OK, here is a list of items related to Darwin Core: <br>
<br>
<b>Issue 1.</b> The draft Darwin Core RDF Guide was completed
recommended for adoption by the RDF/OWL Task Group in July 2013 after a
process described on the proposal cover page [1]. There was no
precedent for making an addition of this sort, so in October 2013 John
Wieczorek requested guidance from the executive (see his email just
forwarded to the list).<br>
<br>
<b>Action needed:</b> Guidance from the executive about how to handle
this kind of change. Possible revision of section 2.3.1.5 of the RDF
Guide proposal depending on the outcome of issue 2.<br>
<br>
<b>Issue 2.</b> At the documenting Darwin Core meeting at TDWG meeting
in November 2013, there was discussion and apparent consensus for
making a number of changes to the definitions of Darwin Core classes.
The details can be read at [2]. An ad hoc group of interested parties
held online meetings in December to hammer out definitions. In January
2014, those definitions were entered in the Darwin Core issue tracker
[3] as issues 205-226. <br>
<br>
<b>Action needed:</b> Initiation of 30 day comment period. It is not
clear who should do this - probably either John Wieczorek (who has done
this in the past) or maybe Greg Whitbread if the TAG has resumed
functioning (but that is really a different issue that should not be
allowed to derail these issues). <b>Note: </b>If these proposed
changes are adopted (and they probably should be as a block because
they are really a package), then section 2.3.1.5 of the RDF Guide [4]
will need to be rewritten. <br>
<br>
There are other issues, but putting them in this email would make a
complicated situation worse.<br>

<div>I will be happy to take up the VoMaG report and the status of
the Technical Architecture Group in the TDWG Executive. I know that a
lot of work went into the report, and I definitely appreciate the huge
volunteer effort. It is true that the Kenya/Sweden meetings have
consumed much of the Exec's energy of late, and we are all doing our
best to juggle our many responsibilities.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Otherwise, if there are more specific requests to the Executive
from the Darwin Core review manager (or anybody) on the issues that
Joel is calling attention to (204-226), I'm not aware of them. Not
sure if Steve's remarks about process are directed at John (as review
manager) or at the TDWG Executive (or possibly both) but I'm happy to
help as I can. Just need a bit more clarity (and brevity --
communication is hard enough given how distributed and multi-national
we are!)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Definitely I would be interested in participating in an RCN
proposal to help address the challenge of running our all-volunteer
organization. Arguably, as current TDWG chair I should lead the
proposal. I can't commit to this officially just at the moment but as
plans coalesce we can see if this is something I'll be able to do. I've
already had some conversations with other members since Florence about
the idea of finding funds to support coordination, and I would be happy
to organize a small group towards concrete action. Please contact me
offline if you haven't already expressed interest in being part of this
group.</div>

things done in the context of TDWG being a volunteer organization. But
that isn't the problem with the DwC class proposals and the RDF Guide.
In both of those cases, unpaid volunteers DID put in the many hours of
work necessary to do the writing and achieve consensus within a working
group. The problem is that those proposals have been held up by many
months because nobody has made administrative decisions necessary to
move them forward. We don't need a grant or more volunteer hours to
fix that problem.<br>
<br>
The case of fixing the more systematic problems with vocabulary
management is a little more complicated. But again a group of
volunteers put in many hours to assemble recommendations of the VoMaG
report. Somebody needs to act on those recommendations - accept,
reject, appoint a task group to work on a draft standard or whatever.
Here as well, the problem is lack of action, not lack of volunteer
time. <br>

1) To my surprise, I am no longer in favor of a DwC:Organism addition
and attendant other changes (if I ever was in favor). I think this
reflects a shift in my thinking -- I have come to see the Darwin Core
as really about biocollections and material samples or observations,
making the specification of "individuals" or "organisms" less a
compelling need. I feel that "individual/organism" is actually fraught
with a fair amount of peril, when knowledge modeled. What we really
deal with are samples --- the individual/organism is there ephemerally
within the context of the collecting event, and sometimes not even then
(road kill). I just can't see why we need it at this point.</span></p>

has a very good point about TAG and decision making. The larger
question is "what to do". Here is a thought. A few of us have agreed
to weekly (virtual) meetings about BCO and DwC integration (John
Wieczorek, John Deck, Ramona Walls, myself and a couple others) --- we
haven't always come through but setting aside the time is important and
useful. Why not reconstitute the TAG or at least a subgroup and bring
BCO/DwC kinds of activities together more firmly. We could open those
meetings more broadly to deal with continuing issues with DwC, while
also keeping our eye on BCO and its growth. I also see a real
opportunity here (and I am not the only one) for funding this kind of
work, in the context of NSF's RCN (Research Coordination Network)
framework. We clearly have the need and such funding could allow us
the chance to meet more regularly than once a year. If there is
interest, I am willing to consider the work needed to make this happen. </span></p>

<br>
To clarify the situation, the changes that have been proposed should be<br>
handled in accordance with the Darwin Core term change policy [1]. If<br>
I'm interpreting that policy correctly, the changes would fall in<br>
sections 3.3 or 3.4. The proposed changes that redefine existing terms<br>
(like dwc:Occurrence) would be "Semantic changes in Darwin Core terms"<br>
(section 3.3) and the changes that create new terms (like<br>
dwc:LivingSpecimen) would be "Addition of Darwin Core term declarations<br>
to exisiting Darwin Core namespaces (section 3.4). The exact procedure<br>
in both sections is a bit murky because it presupposes a functioning<br>
Technical Architecture Group (TAG) that judges the merit of the proposal<br>
and (at least in the case of 3.4) calls for a request for comments<br>
(RFC). Historically, there has not been a functioning TAG, so John<br>
Wiecorek (shepherd of Darwin Core) has traditionally made the call for a<br>
30 day RFC on tdwg-content. He hasn't done that yet, to my knowledge.<br>
I don't think that the Term Change Policy actually requires action by<br>
the Executive, but I think that in actuality it has made the final call<br>
since there hasn't been any TAG to do the job.<br>
<br>
I have to say that I'm puzzled by the lack of motion on this proposal.<br>
The usual reason for failure of proposed changes is "lack of<br>
consensus". However, in this case, there seemed (to me) to be<br>
widespread support for these changes at the Documenting Darwin Core<br>
workshop at the TDWG meeting in November. In the discussions held in<br>
December by the ad hoc group (whose purpose was to hammer out the actual<br>
proposed definitions), there was a shocking degree of consensus about<br>
everything except for the name of the one class (organism/individual).<br>
So I don't understand why the proposed changes haven't gone to public<br>
comment months ago.<br>
<br>
The DwC RDF Guide [3] (which Joel mentioned) has similarly languished<br>
for a year now, having already undergone numerous revisions and having<br>
been endorsed by the task group that created it. The only reason I<br>
haven't pushed harder on moving it forward is that it would need to be<br>
revised if the proposed DwC class changes were adopted. So lack of<br>
progress on the proposed term changes is holding up progress on that as<br>
well.<br>
<br>
The real problem here is that the TDWG standards maintenance process is<br>
broken. We need a clear and usable system that covers all of the TDWG<br>
technical standard vocabularies (i.e. DwC, Audubon Core, and any future<br>
ones). This was discussed in detail in several sessions at the last<br>
TDWG meeting with some concrete proposals put on the table [4]. It was<br>
my impression that this issue was very high on the agenda of the<br>
Executive. However, we are now nine month past that meeting and I<br>
haven't seen any visible signs that there has been any progress on this<br>
front. Is TDWG actually a standards organization or not? I'm not sure<br>
anymore.<br>
