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/

CANCELLED - Humboldt Task Group Meeting Wed 15 JUNE 2022, 08:00 EST
by Sica, Yanina 14 Jun '22

14 Jun '22

Hi all, Tomorrow we were hoping to hear from Zach's colleague about the Field Museum example. Unfortunately, they will not be able to make it, so we are cancelling the meeting. However, I still have some homework for you! 😬 I would really appreciate your participation on the final steps before testing. Here <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ai9WPFzg2m-SjVHSWDPMde3Jx_hvUxz2rCi…> is a table with external testers and the people within this group responsible to reach out to them. Please let me know if you are keen on starting the conversation with them and being the liaison between this TG are the testing institution. Acting as a liaison would mean keeping up with their needs, questions, updates, etc. If this does not work for you remove your name from the list. When possible, suggest another external tester that you are more comfortable reaching out to. Other related topics that we can follow up over email: * Humboldt Extension Quick Reference Guide * any updates on this? * Section Mapping data<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…> - A multi-layered approach needs some wrangling * still working on this table/figure * Example section * Please take a look at Ming's example<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZglRfoQUGpsDm4t2M4B6Qif2IlbPvuBaRBeOi9x…>! She finished up with that part and would like some feedback * We are still hoping to include the Field Museum example, so hopefully we can reschedule that meeting soon. Hope you are having a great week! Cheers, Yani Yanina V.

Example dataset in the documentation
by Yi Ming Gan 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

Hi all, Just wanted to let you know that I have completed all the amendments according to the discussions we had for the test dataset from Antarctic GBIF/OBIS. Would really appreciate it if someone could go through what I wrote under the section “Distribution of squid and fish in the pelagic zone of the Cosmonaut Sea and Prydz Bay region during the BROKE-West campaign<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZglRfoQUGpsDm4t2M4B6Qif2IlbPvuBaRBeOi9x…>”. I hope I didn’t miss anything. I have also republished the updated the dataset under a “Test Organization” and registered it with the dev version of GBIF portal<https://www.gbif-uat.org/dataset/c60ec6f0-1089-4c1e-b25c-deb0a5a5c38b> so that you can have a look at it there if you like. As I have other commitments, I would really love to wrap up this part. Thank you so much for your help! Cheers Ming

Hi all! Hope everyone is well and healthy! Let's meet tomorrow and catch up on the progress. Below you can find some of the topics we need to touch base on: * Humboldt Extension Quick Reference Guide * I believe this is done! We only need to agree to use the 6 Humboldt categories as pseudo-classes (not real classes but to organize the terms) * Section Mapping data<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZglRfoQUGpsDm4t2M4B6Qif2IlbPvuBaRBeOi9x…> - A multi-layered approach needs some wrangling * still working on this * Example section * still working on this * If Ming joins the meeting we will discuss some questions she had * External testers * See here <https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…> the candidate list that we need to refine. See you! cheers, Yani Yanina V. Sica, PhD Lead Data Team Map of Life<https://mol.org/> | Center for Biodiversity and Global Change<https://bgc.yale.edu/> Yale University pronouns: she/her/hers

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.
