MIDS meeting today - reminder and request for feedback
by Elspeth Haston 06 Nov '25

06 Nov '25

Dear all A reminder for our meeting today at 1500 UTC. See below for the link to the meetings on Thursdays. At our last meeting we revived discussion about the TypeStatus https://github.com/tdwg/mids/issues/26 Please have a look at the discussion in the comment for this issue in GitHub and provide feedback to help us decide on the best option for managing the Type Status in MIDS. It is currently not mapped in DwC. There is not a good way to map it in SSOM without it being required. Our options are: 1. Include it at MIDS2 which will make it very difficult for collections to reach MIDS2 unless they have a value here. 2. Exclude it completely. 3. Include it at MIDS2 and see if we can implement a hack in the mapping to allow a null value to be acceptable. 4. Include is as a recommendation only, not as part of the normative Information Elements. It would be good to get more feedback and discussion from the Task Group. You can add your comments into the GitHub issue or you can come along to the meetings to make your points vocally (these are best) or you can e-mail me directly and I'll add your comments to the GitHub issue. It will be great to hear from you.
