Dear all, I am sorry for the delay after our meeting in February. I had to take some time off and could not dig into this until recently. After our meeting, there are a number of updates that I would like you to take a look at: - Figures 1 and 2 were updated following your suggestions - The methods section was considerably reduced - In results, the information classes were revisited and many changes were incorporated (now terms are grouped in 6 non formal classes that describe different aspects of the data collection process) - An Application section was incorporated listing the different data repositories that can make use of the Humboldt Extension, and the use cases. Due to lack of space the main content of this section was moved to supplementary material. You can find the MS here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I7RRu6mj7u53-zz6c_8ZIYqLsNMA0o6VwP3fuSTMWcI/edit?tab=t.0> . *I would really appreciate it if you could take a look at these sections as well as the Discussion and get your feedback by April 7th. My goal is by the end of April to have a decent final draft and start contacting the Editor of the Journal. * I hope you find this timeline reasonable, let me know otherwise.* If you all agree, I will set up a call on April 9th to discuss the status of the MS and your inputs.* *Thank you so much for all your support in this process!* Best, Yani
