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,geospatialScopeAreaInSquareKilometers
Site,totalAreaSampledInSquareKilometers

Hi all, 

Sorry about the listserve errors, duplicate emails, and event cancellations..the universe conspired against us today. Despite this, we managed to meet today and had a very good and productive meeting.

We have resolved our latest doubts regarding the principles in the hierarchical doc and summarized our next steps:
- John will finish some small edits to the list of terms and update the IPT
- Ming will map again the BROKE-West campaign with the latest eco: terms and guiding principles
- John and Ming will populate some good examples in the hierarchical document
- Dmitry will try to track GBIF's attention (and funding?) to push the Humboldt User Guide to the next level and transform it into a nice format that allows easy updates.

I cleaned and edited some of the previous documents and organized the Drive.
Next week, we will take a look at the examples from Ming and John and, if we all agree, we could formally submit the extension! We are getting there!

Thank you all for your last efforts!

All the best!

PS: You should have received a calendar invite for next week. In case you did not, please let me know. You can also find the info below:
