Hey all,

A big thank you to ALA data team for the comments!! I am now looking at Humboldt Extension in the way that I have never done before! I really appreciate the honest, thorough and insightful feedback, thank you very much!!

I added my comments (personal opinion) in the ALA feedback document as I will be on vacation after sending this email until 2 January 2024. Things that I did not comment either means I don’t understand (e.g. descriptive and normative of taxonomicScopeType) or I don’t have the answer (e.g. some terms exist before I joined the task group).

I hope my comments are helpful, but please take it with a grain of salt. It could be nonsense as these 2 weeks have been very intense to me. If you would like to engage OBIS in the conversation especially in the work of controlled vocabularies, please reach out to helpdesk@obis.org 

I will ketchup again in early next year! Happy Christmas and New Year in advanced :) Thank you very much for your hard work!

Cheers

Ming
