It's taken me a while to finish this project, but I have successfully
turned Darwin Core Archives from GBIF and GGBN having Event, Taxon, and
Occurrence cores into RDF, and merged them with RDF generated from an
EOL traitbank archive and the pre-existing Bioimages RDF. The
resulting graph describes over 13 thousand distinct organisms and
contains 8 million triples. I've compressed the entire non-Bioimages
RDF graph into a downloadable zip file (the Bioimages graph is
available elsewhere) so that anyone can play with it. It's also
available for querying at Vanderbilt's Heard Library SPARQL endpoint. <br>
<br>
You can read the gory details of the experiment at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://baskauf.blogspot.com/2016/11/guid-o-matic-meets-dwc-rdf-octopus.html">http://baskauf.blogspot.com/2016/11/guid-o-matic-meets-dwc-rdf-octopus.html</a>
and there should be enough details that anyone who is serious about
this could replicate the exercise. I doubt that many people will, but
you are also welcome to read the blog post the same way I read National
Geographic: skim the high points and look at the pictures. You might
read the descriptions of each of the five datasets and look at there
octopus diagrams, then skip to the end and try pasting the SPARQL
queries into the endpoint to try them out for yourself (or hack them to
find out more interesting things).<br>
<br>
Thanks Quentin Groom, Willem Coetzer, Gabi Dröge, and Anne Thessen for
sharing their cool datasets. I'm excited about this and am looking
forward to playing more with the big merged graph when I have more time.<br>

Thanks for the responses. I have several great datasets that I've
downloaded from datasets at GBIF, so I have a lot to play with. I've
got occurrence, taxon, and event core archives, which is great. I'd
still be interested in an example of a material sample core archive if
anyone has a good example, particularly if it had rich extension files
linked to it. I'll probably report on my experimentation in a future
blog post.<br>

I have been playing around with turning Darwin Core Archives into RDF
[1] and would like to extend my experiments to attempting to integrate
data from archives that have very different core files. I have played
with the dwcaMolluscsAndorra.zip Occurrence archive mentioned in Annex
3 of the DwC-A How-To Guide [2], but the Whales-DWC-A.zip file isn't
available any more (I guess because of the demise of Google Code). A
little bit of Google searching failed to turn up additional obvious
example files.<br>
<br>
If anyone would be interested in making DwC-A archives available to me,
I'd appreciate it. I'm particularly interested in archives that have
cores other than Occurrence (although an Occurrence archive that has
more complex data, including extensions, than the mollusc example would
be welcome). If there are any MaterialSample or Event core arcives,
that would be particularly interesting.
<br>
Preferably, I'd like to have access to archives that contain publicly
available data, since I'm likely to blog about the outcome and
potentially use the data in examples. If there are publicly available
archives downloadable via a URL, you can reply to the list - otherwise
let me know how I could access your example.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your help!<br>
