I have been playing around with turning Darwin Core Archives into RDF
[1] and would like to extend my experiments to attempting to integrate
data from archives that have very different core files. I have played
with the dwcaMolluscsAndorra.zip Occurrence archive mentioned in Annex 3
of the DwC-A How-To Guide [2], but the Whales-DWC-A.zip file isn't
available any more (I guess because of the demise of Google Code). A
little bit of Google searching failed to turn up additional obvious
example files.
If anyone would be interested in making DwC-A archives available to me,
I'd appreciate it. I'm particularly interested in archives that have
cores other than Occurrence (although an Occurrence archive that has
more complex data, including extensions, than the mollusc example would
be welcome). If there are any MaterialSample or Event core arcives,
that would be particularly interesting.
Preferably, I'd like to have access to archives that contain publicly
available data, since I'm likely to blog about the outcome and
potentially use the data in examples. If there are publicly available
archives downloadable via a URL, you can reply to the list - otherwise
let me know how I could access your example.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Dear All,
I would encourage any of you who are interested in this topic to join in
(see info below). Note that you do not need to participate during the whole
time, this is just meant to be a window of time for the group to focus on
the topic. We all need focus :-)
Best, JAmes
Dear TDWG BSCI Members,
The TDWG Biodiversity Services and Clients Interest Group (BSCI,
http://www.tdwg.org/activities/biodiversity-services-clients) will hold an
open virtual hackathon in the week November 14-18. In the hackathon, we
will define technical and organisational aspects of biodiversity
informatics web services, which should be considered for achieving improved
harmonisation and interoperability of APIs. We will also compile existing
best practice documents for service implementations from different domains
and consider their application for biodiversity informatics. During the
week, all materials will be compiled publicly on the BSCI wiki at
http://tdwgbsci.biowikifarm.net/wiki/.
Results of the hackathon as well as the roadmap to a biodiversity service
implementation standard will be further discussed during the 2016 TDWG
conference in Costa Rica (Workshop 01, "Towards Best Practices for the
Implementation and Documentation of Biodiversity Informatics Services",
http://www.tdwg.org/conference2016/).
The hackathon will be open to all interested participants. For more
information or to be added to our list of participants please contact James
Macklin (James.Macklin(a)AGR.GC.CA) or Anton Güntsch (a.guentsch(a)bgbm.org).
With best wishes,
James & Anton
What's the deal with the "This sender failed our fraud detection checks
and may not be who they appear to be." that got tacked onto the message
I just sent to the list?
