Dear all, 

Thank you all for the productive meeting. 

To avoid meeting conflicts with GBWG (e.g. 23rd of March), we suggest shifting our regular meetings by one week. If there are no objections, we would thus have the next meeting one week from today (2021-03-02T16:00Z). I’ll send an updated Zoom invite by Friday. 

Below, please find sections with a summary of today’s meeting and next steps.

==SUMMARY==
For extended meeting notes, please see our running minutes document [1].

John kindly did a complete run-through of the DwC to MIxS core mapping and captured it both in our mapping spreadsheet [2] and issue tracker [3]. In today’s meeting we’ve started to discuss any uncertainties around these mappings:
Most of the terms in the MIxS environmental packages are either redundant with those in MIxS core, or orthogonal to DwC and thus don’t require additional mapping. Before reviewing this in detail, Bill has kindly offered to generate a release of the MIxS environmental packages containing only the non-redundant terms and link it on our issue tracker.

We’ve additionally addressed issue 24 and issue 25 which, though not in the immediate scope of this TG, may be of interest. As captured by Bill here, we have also touched on how one-to-many/many-to-one/many-to-many mappings may proliferate through star-schemas used in DwC implementations.

==NEXT STEPS==
In preparation for our next meeting, 

Thank you and best wishes, 
Raïssa and Pier
