Hi folks,
I hope the listserv is working.
I have made the necessary edits to the eco: terms in preparation for a new extension XML file. I set up the script so that the extension XML can be generated from the term_versions.csv file (the canonical management file where the term versions are archived). The script allows the XML file to contain sections in which to group terms so that they can be seen and mapped together in the IPT. I have proposed some new group names and rearranged the terms in them in the hope that it might make the mapping process flow better in the IPT. The names of the group, the order of groups and the order of terms within the groups can all be set easily in a configuration file separate from the term_versions.csv file. It would be nice if we could decide as a Task Group on these groupings and orders before making a release. It will help people assess the proposal too, I believe. The groupings and term order I propose follow:
group,term
Site,siteCount
Site,siteNestingDescription
Site,verbatimSiteDescriptions

Site,geospatialScopeAreaInSquareKilometers
Site,totalAreaSampledInSquareKilometers
