Hi all,

As per our discussion at the last meeting, we have homework for next Wednesday!

Propose a definition (include comments and examples if appropriate) for the following HC terms:

• protocolName

• The idea of this term would be to capture a -more or less- specific protocol, but without including specific details in textual form. As discussed in our last meeting this term could involve the concatenation of General Target Category + Method Approach + General Method Type + Specific Method Name from Survey Methods Definition (better known as “Peter’s spreadsheet” :) ). Consider if such a term would need an associated controlled vocabulary, and if so, whether we would attempt to provide one, point to existing one(s), or leave open for future work.

• protocolDescription/protocolDetail

• As discussed in our last meeting, this term would allow users to capture detailed information about the protocol, including any deviation from the published methodologies  and unpublished protocols.

• protocolReference

• From our conversation in our last meeting, it was not clear if this should be retained separately or included in protocolDescription/protocolDetail. If you feel it should be a separate term, please provide definition, comments, examples. This term would refer to formatted references and URL or direct DOI links to the protocols used.

For reference: 

• check the definitions of the original related terms in HC (see Vocabulary file: protocol name, protocol detail, protocol citation, protocol reference)

• revisit the definition of dwc:samplingProtocol

Please send your proposed definitions to me or Paula by Tuesday so we include them in a small presentation to improve our discussions.

Thank you and see you on Wed!
