Hi all, 

Hope you are fine!

I have amazing news, Tomoni Suwa from the Field Museum and Yi-Ming Gan from OBIS are joining our Humbodlt discussions!! Welcome!!

For this Wed (Dec 1), Yi-Ming Gan will be sharing her insights on OBIS data and metadata structure. It will be great to discuss how it  links (or if at all) to Humboldt Extension. 

If we have time, we can also discuss some of the terms that still need revision or have github issues:
  • identifiedBy
  • identificationReferences
  • geospatialScopeAreaInSquareKilometers
  • totalAreaSampledInSquareKilometers
  • environmentReported
  • habitatsScope
  • excludedHabitatScope
  • reportedWeather
  • reportedImpacts
  • isEffortReported
They are highlighted in yellow in our usual slides (slide 199 onwards): 

Next week (Dec 8), we will hear from Diana Bowler about some interesting research she has done regarding metadata needs for modelling inventory data.
