Humboldt next steps!
by Yanina Sica 02 Aug '23

02 Aug '23

Hi all, *Sorry about the listserve errors, duplicate emails, and event cancellations*..the universe conspired against us today. Despite this, we managed to meet today and had a very good and productive meeting. We have resolved our latest doubts regarding the principles in the hierarchical doc and summarized our next steps: - John will finish some small edits to the list of terms and update the IPT - Ming will map again the BROKE-West campaign with the latest eco: terms and guiding principles - John and Ming will populate some good examples in the hierarchical document - Dmitry will try to track GBIF's attention (and funding?) to push the Humboldt User Guide to the next level and transform it into a nice format that allows easy updates. I cleaned and edited some of the previous documents and organized the Drive. - Ratification-related documents are in this folder <https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1XI1P07lgGRpVyTWiCiA7yJcs9tD_L0ma> : - Implementation Experience Report for Humboldt extension for ecological inventories <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RFdSHoyzWCQk9qO6uup4xQjWOMzPyBb-A0mcjj9…> - Hierarchical Events in Humboldt Extension for ecological inventories <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r_XMEgB7p7OI7a5Ouq6G9oa7LmQFPcFhZZCLD9g…> - isLeastSpecificTargetCategoryQuantityInclusive <https://docs.google.com/document/d/11fPW4JibRWUnrtTOZwDkAcxo5d-lwnATXyh3xmO…> - List of <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AbUUKDkgilbtHu9Dh_5V2dnOeQNbKBcRo4d…> terms <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AbUUKDkgilbtHu9Dh_5V2dnOeQNbKBcRo4d…> in Humboldt Extension for ecological inventories - Humboldt Extension for ecological inventories User Guide <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rX4m94rtZDR_8iIe3RvRnNYKDJcmSX3ii4S5hCz…> *Next week, we will take a look at the examples from Ming and John and, if we all agree, we could formally submit the extension!* We are getting there!

Humboldt Task Group Meeting Wed 26 June 2023, 08:00 EST/14:00 CET

26 Jul '23

[Apologies if this email is duplcate] Hi all, Hope everybody is doing well. Today, we will discuss the document of hierarchical events (here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r_XMEgB7p7OI7a5Ouq6G9oa7LmQFPcFhZZCLD9g…>). I feel we have advanced and discussed a lot about this so I am very hopeful we can finish it quite soon (if possible in this meeting). This is the last document we need to formally start the ratification process and we should start that process ASAP if we want to have any advances before TDWG 2023. Somehow, I lost the calendar invites for the Humboldt meetings, did the same happen to you? If yes, I can create another invite but we can discuss it today. When to meet Wednesdays 8 am EST (see your time here<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20230419T120000&p…>) Where to meet Zoom link: https://yale.zoom.us/j/97318391101<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://yale.zoom.us/j/97318391101&sa=D&source…> Thank you and see you in a bit!

Hi all, Lets discuss the Hierarchical Document <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r_XMEgB7p7OI7a5Ouq6G9oa7LmQFPcFhZZCLD9g…> this week! With the TDWG 2023 rush, people might not have had time to review or work on it. If that is the case, we can have a rather short meeting to agree on the next steps. See you!

summer plans: ratifikation and ESA
by Dmitry Schigel 03 Jul '23

03 Jul '23

Hello all, Just to let you know that this week I will set my out of office reply for a couple of weeks. FYI Kate Ingenloff will be back to work on 24 July, and I - on 25 July. I would like to flag two things here: * From the GBIF work perspective, ratification in 2023 is a very positive move. We are happy to help, but neither Kate nor I are very experienced in TDWG formalities. John Wi or Steve, will one of you lead the work? Please count on us - from the dates mentioned above. We will certainly consult with Tim Robertson. * I will represent GBIF Secretariat at the ESA 2023, which is an interesting audience for the Humboldt thinking. GBIF will do two things: a Data dialogues session on Monday https://esa2023.eventscribe.net/agenda.asp?startdate=8/7/2023&enddate=8/7/2… (where Rob has a slot - for Humboldt maybe?) and I may also give a GBIF talk at one of the NEON session. Just mentioning also to check if other Humboldt people will be at ESA? We discussed that 2023 may be a bit early for proper "product placement" of the extension, but just checking if there is a chance to meet.

TDWG 2023 Abstract
by ys628 01 Jul '23

01 Jul '23

Hi all, I would like to ask you to take a look at the abstract one more time. Wesley did a major rearranging (OPTION 2, some description below). I want to make sure everybody agrees...also in regarding the authors. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Yqz4pwRksvaL_pDVlXTnOZG6w5fEDKIO0FKV17a… [https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/docs/ADP-6oEiMin53Or6vohQ7FHBNAzVXHHxnfBr…]<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Yqz4pwRksvaL_pDVlXTnOZG6w5fEDKIO0FKV17a…> Abstract - TDWG2023<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Yqz4pwRksvaL_pDVlXTnOZG6w5fEDKIO0FKV17a…> Instructions! https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2023/instructions-for-abstract-submission/ Title: Want to describe share biodiversity inventory and monitoring data? The Humboldt Extension for Ecological Inventories can help! Please complete your name and affiliation Authors: Yi-Ming Gan1, Kate In... docs.google.com I will submit later today or even tomorrow morning (July 1st) to give you more time to review Thanks a lot Yani ---mail and explanation from Wesley Hi Yani and Ming, If this message looks like something that is relevant for the entire group, could you please forward it to the Humboldt Extension listserv? I'm writing to both of you because Yani you should be aware of what I've done sooner rather than later, and Ming because I saw that you were viewing the document while I was also mucking around with it. Somehow, I ended up experimenting with a major reorganization of the material in the existing abstract, while (hopefully) not deleting any information, and adding little new information (the exception being the fourth and fifth sentences). I have pasted my experimental reoganization of the material below the current version, and I have written a long comment linked to the first word in my experiment. Unfortunately, it's impossible to see where the original text remained, where parts of the original text were moved, or where I made additions, because I made a local copy of the original and then copied the end result back...and all of the change-tracking colour information disappeared. Anyway, as I wrote at the end of my comment, you absolutely should treat what I did as an experiment in creating a new order of presentation of the ideas in the original version, and use the new organization, or not, to the extent that you see fit. Oh, and regarding English versus U.S. spelling, I'm definitely the worst person to ask, because the spelling all looks Canadian (i.e. a British-U.S. hybrid) to me.

TDWG abstract
by Anahita Kazem 01 Jul '23

01 Jul '23

Hi Yani, I tidied up the abstract (all these small changes are not visible), and left my changes visible only in cases where I might have inadvertently altered your meaning (please check). I also queried a couple of connections that seem to have been lost in the transition from version 1 to version 2 - although I might simply be completely missing the point. But in general I think it's good to go. Thanks to all for putting this together!
