eventType

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/

Humboldt Task Group Meeting MOVED to Thu 15 September 2022, 7:00pm EST

Hi all, Hope everybody is great! We finally have a time to meet and discuss how the Humboldt Extension fits in the expanded GBIF data model! Thursday 15 September 7pm EST Zoom: https://yale.zoom.us/j/97318391101 John and Tim are interested in identifying a case study that takes advantage of the HE to report inventories, particularly that deal with absences. One ecological use case has already been developed (Ecological Survey Data Exchange Format<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…>) but it is extremely simple and doesn't require anything from HE. Peter Brenton has already identified at least one potential dataset, but everybody is encouraged to bring ideas and datasets to the conversation! Peter, feel free to share those datasets. I apologize if this is a crazy time for you, it was hard to find a time that worked. I really appreciate your flexibility. We will record the session in case somebody cannot make it. We will not have our typical meeting on Wed so we can dedicate the time to meet on Thu. Thank you and hope you can make it to the discussion!! Cheers, Yani Yanina V.

Hi all, Hope everybody is well! It has been quite a few weeks since we last met as a group, so I propose a catch-up meeting tomorrow. No detailed agenda but TDWG 2022 is approaching, and we still have not heard for many external testers so we might need to work on a different strategy. Also, we are still organizing a good time to meet and discuss the GBIF data model and a Humboldt Extension case study, I will share more info soon. See you!
