Dear all, Hope you are fine. We have made a lot of progress lately and now it is time to start writing it down. Even though there is no formal document, we are writing an Implementation Experience Report (following the Audubon example). The report is currently being drafted here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RFdSHoyzWCQk9qO6uup4xQjWOMzPyBb-A0mcjj9… Some sections have already been assigned to people but the intro and the development of the vocabulary are open, I will try to start populating these sections but if somebody can help me with this it will be great because I am traveling this week. Once we finish up with the last tweaks of the definitions, I will update the whole vocabulary and share with you. So, no meeting this week. Instead, I would really appreciate we you can dedicate the time to start drafting the report. Thanks and see you all next week! -- Yani

Humboldt Task Group Meeting Wed 15 March 2023, 08:00 EST/13:00 UTC

Hi all, In preparation for our meeting this week. I will kindly ask you to review the definition of the new term sumQuantities which allows the users to undertand if the dwc:organismQuantity should be summed or not to get final species counts (see below). Also, we started the Implementation Experience Report<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RFdSHoyzWCQk9qO6uup4xQjWOMzPyBb-A0mcjj9…>, based on the Audubon example shared by Steve. Please start completing the sections with your experience or thoughts. Thank you and see you on Wednesday! Zoom link: https://yale.zoom.us/j/97318391101<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googl…> sumQuantities Please suggest changes for current definition/comments below! 1. Definition: The total detected quantity for a Taxon in an Event is the sum of all dwc:organismQuantity for the Taxon in the Event. 2. Comments: Recommended values are True and False. If True, the total detected quantity of organisms for a Taxon in an Event is the sum of all dwc:organismQuantity for the Taxon in the Event and dwc:organismQuantity can be added to get the total detected quantity of organisms in an Event. If false, the total detected quantity of organisms for a Taxon in an Event is the dwc:organismQuantity of the least specific category listed for the Taxon in the Event and dwc:organismQuantity can not be added to get the total detected quantity of organisms in an Event. 3. Examples: "`true`, `false`" For more context, see Humbold case study<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eGD69E-KzqdOcjh637iPrp1gv_J55CM2VPAjD1P…>. Based on the example tables that John created I simplified below for easy interpretation of this term (PLEASE JOHN CORRECT IF ANYTHING IS WRONG): * ebird case where organismQuantity (for ebird_target_1 = species level) is the sum of organismQuantity for that specific taxonomic level (only 2 organisms at the species level were detected not including the subspecies). Then, sumQuantities =TRUE because to get the total number of organisms detected in the Event without a taxon level distinction (15), the organismQuantity CAN be added (2+13=15). IF there had been a target "Aves" with count 15 (ebird_target_0), the total number of organisms detected would have been 30 (15 Aves unidentified to species and 2+13 Aves identified to species. * obis case where organismQuantity (for bw_target_3 = Electrona antarctica without lifestage distinction) is already the sum of organismQuantity for the more specific targets (lava and postmeta, 15=13 +2). Then, sumQuantities = FALSE because to get the total number of organisms detected in the Event without a lifestage distinction (15), the organismQuantity CANNOT be added (15+2+13=30). IF the Electrona antarctica count without any lifeStage distinction (bw_target_3) had been 17, that means that there were 17 total E. antarctica and 2 of them were not larvae or postmetas. eventID targetID sumQuantities include Or Exclude targetTraitType targetTraitValue targetTraitUnit isReportingComplete ebird_event_1 ebird_target_1 TRUE include taxon Aves TRUE ebird_event_1 ebird_target_1 TRUE include taxonRank species TRUE bw_event_3 bw_target_3 FALSE include taxon Electrona antarctica TRUE bw_event_3 bw_target_4 FALSE include taxon Electrona antarctica TRUE bw_event_3 bw_target_4 FALSE include lifeStage larva TRUE bw_event_3 bw_target_5 FALSE include taxon Electrona antarctica TRUE bw_event_3 bw_target_5 FALSE include lifeStage postmeta TRUE targetID observedTaxon organismQuantity organismQuantityType ebird_target_1 Hirundo rustica 2 individuals ebird_target_1 Hirundo rustica rustica 13 individuals bw_target_3 Electrona antarctica 15 individuals bw_target_4 Electrona antarctica 13 individuals bw_target_5 Electrona antarctica 2 individuals Yanina V.

Hi all, Thanks for the meeting notes last week, it seems it was quite a productive meeting! I like the prosed changes for the scope related terms to emphasize the fact that a true/false answer is expected. Let's meet tomorrow to: * decide on a definition and term name for isReportedAbundanceAdditive/sumAbundances (slide 15 here<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…>) * start Implementation report. See overview here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RFdSHoyzWCQk9qO6uup4xQjWOMzPyBb-A0mcjj9… Zoom link: https://yale.zoom.us/j/97318391101<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googl…> Thanks to all of you who completed the survey! By majority (5 out of 8), it was decided to change the namespace to: * Humboldt extension for ecological inventories, eco: We will need to change many documents and some parts of the github repo!

Hi all, I am very sorry for the short notice but I will not be able to join our meeting tomorrow. Hopefully some of you can still meet and: * review new scope related terms (see slide 14 here<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…>) --> there is no need for bollean terms to start with "A statement about whether..." so you can get creative here! * decide on a definition and term name for isReportedAbundanceAdditive/sumAbundances (slide 15 here<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…>) Zoom link: https://yale.zoom.us/j/97318391101<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googl…> Thanks to all of you who completed the survey! By majority (5 out of 8), it was decided to change the namespace to: * Humboldt extension for ecological inventories, eco: We will need to change many documents and some parts of the github repo! I truly apologize for the short notice, I thought I could make it but I have a pretty hard deliverable tomorrow that needs my full attention. All the best, yani Yanina V.
