<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">NW Tim, thanks for doing that.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There’s a few things to unpack with this current list so I’ll try to itemise and structure for legibility:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">I think that the concept of having a higher level methodType category and then a way to break these down into nested sub-categories is the best way to organise what is a very large
and disparate set of methods to make them searchable and re-usable<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">Whilst the implementation approach that I’ve used seems to work pretty well, the methodType list that I’ve provided is really only a start and already has some obvious issues with
it (eg. Mixing specific methods with higher level methodType categories, being Australian centric, etc.). Having said that, I think it is a reasonable starting point to work with and the work that Rob Stevenson has been doing to corral published methods should
help a lot to improve on the current list. In my mind, this piece should be a separate task for the TG to tackle in parallel with the broader job around use case testing and terms mapping to existing datasets.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">The “-“ separator is effectively a way of building a nested structure into a flat list of terms. This works for us because it is indexable, parsable, and easy to work with in the interface,
much more so than a relational nested structure. I haven’t found a need to go more than 3 levels deep with the hierarchy that I’ve used and I think that more than 3 levels would start to become a bit unwieldy.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">There are many ways to categorise these things into a hierarchical structure. I chose one that seemed to make sense and work for us. This is basically a top-level thematic or major
taxon category, with a second-level category that represents a particular method or grouping of methods in which data from different variants of a given methodType could be reasonably aggregated and interpreted in the same way, even if some degree of calibration/modulation
is required to do so. I’ve left the specifics of a particular application of a method to be articulated by description/publication. Such specifics might include variations such as trap dimensions, length of transect, trap placement density, baits used, etc.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">I don’t actually have definitions for the different methodType concepts documented, but I can draft up my definitions for them and we can discuss/agree/adjust as a group.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">BTW, some other useful resources that are worth knowing about are from the ALA’s sister NCRIS facility the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) in Australia:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">

– Note that CORVEG is the database of the Queensland Herbarium which stores one of the major datasets comprising the BioCondition vegetation condition assessment methodology (<a href="https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/plants-animals/biodiversity/biocondition">https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/plants-animals/biodiversity/biocondition</a>).
The ALA (represented by me) is currently working with the method owner in the expectation that ALA’s BioCollect tool will be used as the principal field data collection facility for BioCondition data by most users of the methodology across Queensland, including
state and local government actors, natural resource managers, consultant ecologists, etc.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
