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!
