Hi all, We advanced quite a lot with the manuscript outline, thank you all! You can find the outline as well as journal alternatives and key messages here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/171Blq1BDza_psrIQtBH-USIBzRuJAz-KQ4vS-xY…> Ideally tomorrow we can assign people responsible for different sections. I sent the invite again but in case it does not work, we are meeting on *Wednesday 24th at 12:00 UTC* in this link: https://yale.zoom.us/j/97318391101 Thank you!

BROKE-WEST dataset mapped to ratified Humboldt terms + Questions
by Yi Ming Gan 12 Jul '24

12 Jul '24

Hi all, I have finally mapped the BROKE-WEST dataset to the ratified Humboldt terms. I mapped it in a different way after chatting with John last year. I am trying to explore if using combinations of target scope per row in Humboldt table will make more sense instead of using pipe separated values (see below): [Screenshot 2024-05-14 at 14.17.42.png] I don’t know if I am understanding things well. I feel it is a little confusing - each row in the Humboldt extension file seems to be conflating the Scopes and Event. For example the value of hasNonTargetTaxa for each row above has to check whether Taxon in Occurrences exist in ALL targetTaxonomicScope where eventID == “BROKE_WEST_RMT_001” (multiple records in Humboldt table) … I also have multiple questions when performing this mapping which I documented in the Rmarkdown here<https://raw.githack.com/biodiversity-aq/humboldt-for-eco-survey-data/main/s…>. Overall, I find it very challenging and complicated (took me 2 full days with the help of chatgpt) to write the code to fill in the boolean values (is___, has____) … I would love a third pair of eyes to help me to look at this. Is anyone willing to look at my work with me please? I am fine with walking you through at our usual meeting times. GitHub repo: https://github.com/biodiversity-aq/humboldt-for-eco-survey-data This is the only script that I worked on these two weeks: https://github.com/biodiversity-aq/humboldt-for-eco-survey-data/blob/main/s… Humboldt Extension generated by the script: https://github.com/biodiversity-aq/humboldt-for-eco-survey-data/blob/main/o… @John, I saw that the new data model<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eGD69E-KzqdOcjh637iPrp1gv_J55CM2VPAjD1P…> is updated - is there some instructions available somewhere where I can test the Publishing and Conceptual model please? Thank you so much!!

Humboldt Extension manuscript

11 Jul '24

Hi all, Thanks for a very nice meeting last week. It was great to catch up with you after quite a few months! During the meeting we discussed (and agreed on) what are the key messages we wanted to include in this paper (you can revise them here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/171Blq1BDza_psrIQtBH-USIBzRuJAz-KQ4vS-xY…>). With these messages in mind, we expanded on an *outline for the manuscript (see here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/171Blq1BDza_psrIQtBH-USIBzRuJAz-KQ4vS-xY…>). *We will discuss this outline next Wednesday 17th at 12:00 UTC. If you already feel inspired, you can start writing paragraphs or proposing figures in the corresponding sections of the outline! Next meeting: *Zoom link: https://yale.zoom.us/j/97318391101 <https://yale.zoom.us/j/97318391101>* *Wednesday 17th July at 12:00 UTC.* *Special thanks to Kate that got us together again to advance with the manuscript!!* All the best!

Humboldt workshop at ESA 2024: a few vacant slots
by Dmitry Schigel 09 Jul '24

09 Jul '24

Hello all, As many of you know, 2+ years of work on Humboldt extension to Darwin Core standard have culminated with TDWG ratification of the extension. The ESA2024 conference is one (of hopefully many) engagement event where we will be connecting ecologists holding survey & monitoring with the opportunities offered by the deeper data standardization. There are still a few (of total 20) slots available to ESA delegates to claim - are you in touch with anyone attending ESA through a GBIF Node, through your personal or organizational network? If yes, you might like to inform them on this opportunity. My colleague Kate Ingenloff, cc, will lead the show: https://events.rdmobile.com/Sessions/Details/2318662 (Never mind the fee mentioned there by ESA, GBIF will cover these). Lots of North Am ecologists call ESA annual meetings their main conference, and data standards awareness at ESA is very high already. Please let your ESA people know about this opportunity. You can also promote the event more broadly in: X https://x.com/GBIF/status/1810694151647772742 Fb https://www.facebook.com/gbifnews/posts/pfbid02sqWmyVaLr4Chp93ov5tp6jB8BcFg… In https://www.linkedin.com/posts/gbif_esa2024-humboldt-activity-7216437747375…<https://www.linkedin.com/posts/gbif_esa2024-humboldt-activity-7216437747375…> Best regards and thanks in advance, Dmitry Dmitry Schigel, PhD Scientific officer GBIF | Global Biodiversity Information Facility Secretariat Universitetsparken 15 DK-2100 Copenhagen Ø DENMARK Office +45 35 32 14 85 Mobile +45 30 45 02 25 E-mail dschigel(a)gbif.org<mailto:dschigel@gbif.org> Zoom https://ucph-ku.zoom.us/my/dschigel<http://pta-smg2.csir.co.za:32224/?dmVyPTEuMDAxJiYzMjZjOWE1ZGUyNGEyNzM2ND02M…> Web www.gbif.org<http://pta-smg2.csir.co.za:32224/?dmVyPTEuMDAxJiYzNTc1YzA1OGFiNGE2NTM4MT02M…> [cid:image001.png@01DAD245.10DB39F0]

Humboldt extension manuscript
by Kate Ingenloff 08 Jul '24

08 Jul '24

Hi all! It's been a minute since the days of weekly meetings, but now that we're into the second half of the year I thought it might be time to revisit the Humboldt extension manuscrip <https://docs.google.com/document/d/171Blq1BDza_psrIQtBH-USIBzRuJAz-KQ4vS-xY…>t. We haven't made much progress since the Task Group disbanded, and I know everyone is busy with other commitments, but I think it would be nice if we could have a working draft ready to submit for review before the end of the year (and a solid working draft by TDWG would be amazing). Does that sound feasible to everyone? For anyone interested in taking part in the writing, I'm happy to organize a quick zoom planning session to get back into the groove of things -- just give me an idea of your availability for the near future. A simple agenda could include: - confirming our target journal (Ecography) so as to be able to research and follow author guidelines from the start - identify references for citation - draft a working outline with figure concepts - assign sections to people for initial drafting On a totally different topic, I did not forget that I was working on a GBIF version of the Humboldt guide. Over the recent months, that concept has morphed into a more general guide for mapping survey and monitoring data as DwC Event core including use of the Humboldt extension. The aim is to have it general enough that ecologists and data publishers outside the DwC and GBIF community can easily understand why and what to do in standardizing their data with DwC. it's still in progress, but I will share it later this summer for comments. I hope everyone is doing well! Hope to hear from you soon.
