October Meeting Change
by Teresa Mayfield 27 Sep '21

27 Sep '21

TDWG MaterialSample Task Group, Our meeting in October coincides with the TDWG Conference. In order to allow everyone to participate freely in the conference, I would like to move our meeting for October up one week, so that we would meet the week before what is currently scheduled. New meeting days/times are: Meeting 1 - Wednesday, October 13, 10AM MDT <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20211013T160000&p…> Meeting 2 - Wednesday, October 13, 4PM MDT <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20211013T220000&p…> The links above will provide a time zone calculator. Add your time zone to find the time for your location. Thank you! Teresa J. Mayfield-Meyer It's not dead if it has data!

TDWG Material Sample Task Group - To Do
by Teresa Mayfield 16 Sep '21

16 Sep '21

Thank you to everyone for the deep dive into BasisOf Record and its implications for material sample. I believe we have determined that BasisOfRecord is an overloaded term that we are expecting to convey information about types of evidence, identification practices, suitability for use, and possibly more. Our homework for the next month is to provide use cases that describe the potential "buckets" of information needed to unburden BasisOfRecord so that at our next set of meetings we can discuss what might meet the needs currently overloading BasisOfRecord. (Anyone correct me or add to this description if it seems poor!). Please post your use cases in the Github Wiki <https://github.com/tdwg/material-sample/wiki/Uses-Cases> and also feel free to continue discussions in the Github Issues <https://github.com/tdwg/material-sample/issues>. Both meetings this month were recorded. You can find a link to the Google Drive where they are stored in the Github Readme <https://github.com/tdwg/material-sample/blob/main/README.md> as Documents and meeting recordings. Thank you again for lending your time to this effort! Teresa J. Mayfield-Meyer It's not dead if it has data!
