eventType
by Tim Robertson 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

Hi all, I hope you are all well. I’d like to draw your attention to the proposal to add eventType to Darwin Core [1]. As GBIF look to diversify our data model [2,3], we have identified the need for this term to be able to qualify what kind of events we’re arranging in the hierarchy. We know others have identified this need as well. Since GBIF are working with the ALA to bring Sampling Event search and download to GBIF and the ALA, we have added eventType for use in the TEST IPTs already [e.g. 4] in a GBIF(!) namespace, allowing this work to progress. eventType will likely capture a broad range of values to distinguish between things like visiting events, gathering events, material extraction events etc. It will take time to establish, but we imagine a hierarchical controlled vocabulary might be achievable, with an upper taxonomy that provides the anchoring points for communities to hang more specialist eventTypes from. This might be of use for those creating test datasets to showcase Humboldt as well. Thanks, Tim [1] https://github.com/tdwg/dwc/issues/408 [2] https://www.gbif.org/event/33MQ8ZI9xuC98AekewiMr8/gbif-community-webinar-di… [3] http://lists.tdwg.org/pipermail/tdwg-content/2021-December/003811.html [4] https://ipt.gbif.org/

04 Nov '22

Hi all! Hope everybody is well and healthy. I heard you had a great meeting this week, hopefully it was a useful discussion for the Field Museum folks! TDWG 2022 is next week! There are still a couple of things that we should finish before the symposium: * update the TG webpage<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tdwg.…> to include our new members * Review documentation/user guide<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…> to share broadly * Finish the presentation<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…> slides. In particular, the dataset examples and the key feedback gathered. If you have any example dataset you would like to include, please add it to the slides. (Kate, I was thinking we could potentially include a screen shot of the MOL dataset that you loaded using HE). Also, there is a specific slide about issues/complications based on our discussions, I would really appreciate if you can help me with that one! Thank you again and see you soon (online or in Sofia!) Have a great conference!! Yani Yanina V.

Absence data use case with OBIS
by Yi Ming Gan 06 Oct '22

06 Oct '22

Hi all, The OBIS community would like to create an absence use case for consideration of its application for the new GBIF data model. Humboldt working group comes to my mind when it is about absence, I wonder if anyone would like to join us in working on the use cases with absence data? Discourse: https://discourse.gbif.org/t/absences-and-how-they-fit-in-the-new-model/3593 Thank you so much!! Cheers Ming
