...and today the changes have been propagated to all of the affected documents in the Darwin Core standard. The easiest place to see them is the Quick Reference Guide (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm). Utility files with the new terms added can be found and downloaded from the Darwin Core Github site at https://github.com/tdwg/dwc/tree/master/downloads.
Now on to further Darwin Core activity...
Cheers,
John

Dear all,
Today the Executive Committee unanimously approved the recommended changes to the Darwin Core associated with the sampling events. Specifically, the following terms are now available for use in the Darwin Core Vocabulary. I will work to update the standard immediately and announce here when I have finished.
Cheers, John
Term Name: parentEventID Identifier: http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/parentEventID Namespace: http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms Label: Parent Event ID Definition: An identifier for the broader Event that groups this and potentially other Events. Comment: May be a globally unique identifier or an identifier specific to the data set. Example: “A1” as parentEventID to identify the main Whittaker Plot in nested samples, each with its own eventID (e.g., “A1:1”, “A1:2”).

Dear all,
Seeing no objections in public commentary since the latest semantic amendments on 23 Dec 2014, this proposal will be forwarded to the TDWG Executive Committee for review.
Thank you for your participation in the evolution of Darwin Core.
Cheers,
John

That is great, but the 30-day review ends on the 23rd so there is still a little time for further public commentary.

It seems that the qualifier issues was addressed so this should just happen.

Dear all,
I am following up with the proposal for sampling event terms that have been discussed earlier in this forum in a few threads [1,2,3]. Below is the final proposal for five new terms as it stands ready to be presented to the Executive Committee for ratification after taking into account the commentaries to date. As this summary consists of no semantic changes over what has been discussed already, the proposal should be ready for presentation on 23 Jan 2015, barring any expressed objections to the current proposal.
