FYI there is an ontology for the geological timescale here https://github.com/CGI-IUGS/timescale-ont and a dataset representing the international chronostratigraphic chart nearby https://github.com/CGI-IUGS/timescale-data The International Commission on Stratigraphy are planning to adopt this as the point-of-truth for the standard geological timescale. This is possibly of overlapping scope with the DWC requirements. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sat, 21 Nov 2020 14:51:26 -0300 From: John Wieczorek <tuco(a)berkeley.edu> To: TDWG Content Mailing List <tdwg-content(a)lists.tdwg.org> Subject: [tdwg-content] Public Review of Chronometric Age Extension to Darwin Core open Message-ID: <CAHwKGGeaOoovkWPYd8+Ug=knHVJqcKOeZkBNhUd42VomZ85Bpg(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" The Darwin Core Maintenance Interest Group ( https://www.tdwg.org/community/dwc/) is pleased to announce that the ChronometricAge Task Group (https://www.tdwg.org/community/esp/chrono/) of the Earth Sciences and Paleontology Interest Group ( https://www.tdwg.org/community/esp/) has prepared a vocabulary enhancement for Darwin Core consisting of a ChronometricAge class and its properties.

Greetings TDWG folk, RE: #TaxonWorks Together 2020 If you would like to find out more about TaxonWorks, and get together to contribute your ideas, and maybe even some code, please join us for a variety of events next week (Nov 30 - Dec 4). It's an opportunity to be part of fostering collaboration across software development efforts of our biodiversity informatics communities. Please peruse our plans: Details and to register (it's free), see https://github.com/SpeciesFileGroup/taxonworks_together_2020 <https://github.com/SpeciesFileGroup/taxonworks_together_2020> Do join us for all or at least some of the planned activities. Also feel free to forward to potentially interested parties.In addition, we're hosting the second "TaxonWorks at Nite" session during the week, a very chill session to just hang out with folks thinking in the veins of what we are trying to do. NOTE: if you're keen to install TaxonWorks on your local machine, there's a special session this Tuesday (Nov 24th) devoted to getting that done before next week. See you there!
