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,
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!
sumQuantities Please
suggest changes for current definition/comments below!
-
Definition: The
total detected quantity for a Taxon in an Event is the sum of all dwc:organismQuantity for the Taxon in the Event.
-
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.
-
Examples: "`true`,
`false`"
For
more context, see Humbold
case study. 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.
