Hi Steve, you can find thousands of openly published dwc archives at the GBIF registry: http://www.gbif.org/dataset

unless it is a biocase or digir resource each details page contains the link to the dwca on the right side. Taxon and Event core datasets are always dwc-as

Hi Steve,

I’m not aware of any, although I think Gabi (CC’ed) might be the best to advise there.

Gabi: Do you know of any DwC-A with a dwc:MaterialSample core? It’s not something the GBIF.org systems support, but I have a hunch you might have an example.

Thanks, Tim

Markus and all,

Thanks for the responses. I have several great datasets that I've downloaded from datasets at GBIF, so I have a lot to play with. I've got occurrence, taxon, and event core archives, which is great. I'd still be interested in an example of a material sample core archive if anyone has a good example, particularly if it had rich extension files linked to it. I'll probably report on my experimentation in a future blog post.

It's taken me a while to finish this project, but I have successfully turned Darwin Core Archives from GBIF and GGBN having Event, Taxon, and Occurrence cores into RDF, and merged them with RDF generated from an EOL traitbank archive and the pre-existing Bioimages RDF. The resulting graph describes over 13 thousand distinct organisms and contains 8 million triples. I've compressed the entire non-Bioimages RDF graph into a downloadable zip file (the Bioimages graph is available elsewhere) so that anyone can play with it. It's also available for querying at Vanderbilt's Heard Library SPARQL endpoint.

You can read the gory details of the experiment at http://baskauf.blogspot.com/2016/11/guid-o-matic-meets-dwc-rdf-octopus.html and there should be enough details that anyone who is serious about this could replicate the exercise. I doubt that many people will, but you are also welcome to read the blog post the same way I read National Geographic: skim the high points and look at the pictures. You might read the descriptions of each of the five datasets and look at there octopus diagrams, then skip to the end and try pasting the SPARQL queries into the endpoint to try them out for yourself (or hack them to find out more interesting things).

Thanks Quentin Groom, Willem Coetzer, Gabi Dröge, and Anne Thessen for sharing their cool datasets. I'm excited about this and am looking forward to playing more with the big merged graph when I have more time.
