[tdwg-humboldt] Contributors added to header

Hi all,

I have finish converting the list of terms header document from static Markdown to a template (https://github.com/tdwg/hc/blob/main/build/termlist-header.md). So now all of the document metadata gets inserted from the same source as is used to generate the machine-readable metadata about the document.

The practical implication of this is that the List of Terms document (https://tdwg.github.io/hc/list/) now displays contributor names and affiliations. The name is hyperlinked to the ORCID record and the affiliation is linked to the Wikidata page for the institution (or the closest thing I could come up with that was in Wikidata).

So please check this out by clicking on your links.

Once the abstract is finished, I will add it to the general document metadata (https://github.com/tdwg/rs.tdwg.org/blob/eco/process/document_metadata_processing/eco_doc_list/document_configuration.yaml) so that it will be picked up as machine readable in addition to being inserted in this doc.

There is still one thing missing from the List of Terms, and that is section 2, “Use of Terms”. Somebody needs to write something for that. For comparison, see some examples like the Chrono extension https://tdwg.github.io/chrono/list/ , the establishmentMeans vocab https://dwc.tdwg.org/em/, and the “categories of terms” section 1.2 for Audiovisual Core https://ac.tdwg.org/termlist/. Basically, we need to imagine that this page is the only thing that people could see about the terms. What would they need to know? It would be appropriate to tell them about the two other standards docs we are creating that explain how to use the terms.

Steve
