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/

CANCEL? - Humboldt Task Group Meeting Wed 1 JUNE 2022, 08:00 EST
by Sica, Yanina 01 Jun '22

01 Jun '22

Hi all, There is still quite some work to be done on the documentation <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZglRfoQUGpsDm4t2M4B6Qif2IlbPvuBaRBeOi9x…> and I could use our meeting time to work on it. I also know that some of you might not be able to make it to our meeting, so I suggest we cancel it. Unless there is a topic we need to discuss as a group I suggest we keep advancing on the documentation over email, is this ok? Below you can find some of the topics that are still unresolved and we could use some help: * Humboldt Extension Quick Reference Guide * Steve and John are working on it * can we agree to use the 6 Humboldt categories as pseudo-classes (not real classes but to organize the terms)? * Section Mapping data - A multi-layered approach needs some wrangling * Kate, Pete and I are working on improving the figure/table BUT more feedback is very welcome! * Example section * thanks to Ming we have a great and very complex example dataset using the extension, can somebody else contribute with an example? * Zach, I know you probably have a lot on your plate with the FM, do you think you would be able to add the rapid inventory example? I added a figure and I can help describing the case if needed, let me know! * General revision needed * We have been making some executive decisions to the document so it would be great if you can review it and share your thoughts! * Last looks: Formatting, homogenize concepts (eg. DwC vs DwC standard, inventory vs survey), figure numbers, etc We also need to make some decision on the testers. See here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cWWOw720Qw2eWOVRTeZSHD0eavt78KFB_b6vAH-…> the candidate list that we need to refine. Hope this works for you, otherwise let me know! cheers, Yani Yanina V.

Hi all! Thanks everybody for your messages! What a crazy virus, it knocked me down for the first 3 days, now much better and ready to ratify Humboldt extension! lol! I would like to thank everybody who has been involved in testing the IPT and writing the documentation. It is looking great, and we are very close to finishing that up and start external testing. Below, a couple of things of our plate to discuss tomorrow: * Select key implementers and assign who/how will reach out to them * see full list of potential testers here<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…> * Discuss Figure 4x in 'Mapping data - A multi-layered approach' and review documentation here<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…> * Update the Humboldt page in TDWG to reflect this stage of the process and upload documentation and feedback form * Create the Humboldt Extension Quick Reference Guide See you later/tomorrow!

Should I add "identifiedBy" for absence data?
by Yi Ming Gan 23 May '22

23 May '22

Hello, Maybe a silly question - should I add “identifiedBy” to absence data? The scientists specifically look for a species in the catch from the trawl and found none of them, so there are occurrence records with such species with occurrenceStatus == “absent”. If I have an event which only has absence data in occurrence extension, does it make sense to add “identifiedBy” for Humboldt Extension as well as those absence records in occurrence extension? Thank you so much for your help!! Cheers Ming

How to fill in targetTaxonomicScope and targetLifeStageScope for targeted taxa with different life stage from the same event?
by Yi Ming Gan 20 May '22

20 May '22

Hi all I am working on the dataset from Antarctic OBIS for the Humboldt Documentation. I encounter an issue: For all of the events (at that location, depth, with the sampling protocol and effort), the scientists were targeting: - myctophids - all life stages - paralepidids - larvae and juvenile How can I fill in the “targetTaxonomicScope" and “targetLifeStageScope" for each sampling event? Thanks a lot!! Bests Ming PS: Yani, I hope you are recovering well! Take care!

Hi all, Let's focus on finishing documentation and examples. We also need to identify next steps! To do: * Update the Humboldt page in TDWG to reflect this stage of the process and upload documentation and feedback form * Create the Humboldt Extension Quick Reference Guide * Finish documentation<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZglRfoQUGpsDm4t2M4B6Qif2IlbPvuBaRBeOi9x…> * Finish feedback form<https://tinyurl.com/2p8wpwmy> * Reach out to external testers Hope you are all well and healthy! cheers, Yanina V.

Humboldt TG Meeting Wed 4 May 2022, 08:00 EST

Hi all, Sorry for the late reminder, tomorrow we will discuss how the Humboldt extension can accommodate a typical marine survey. Ming has mapped an OBIS dataset from Antarctic (you can find here<https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/17DXtMg-u1u78IF8d7mJsDOvxVNTU7_Ad>) using DwC and both Humboldt and Emof extensions. This could be a great example to incorporate in the documentation. It would be great to hear your thoughts on this exercise! See you tomorrow (or later for some!) Cheers, Yani
