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. - Ratification-related documents are in this folder <https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1XI1P07lgGRpVyTWiCiA7yJcs9tD_L0ma> : - Implementation Experience Report for Humboldt extension for ecological inventories <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RFdSHoyzWCQk9qO6uup4xQjWOMzPyBb-A0mcjj98hbk/edit> - Hierarchical Events in Humboldt Extension for ecological inventories <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r_XMEgB7p7OI7a5Ouq6G9oa7LmQFPcFhZZCLD9gWOIE/edit> - isLeastSpecificTargetCategoryQuantityInclusive <https://docs.google.com/document/d/11fPW4JibRWUnrtTOZwDkAcxo5d-lwnATXyh3xmO65rs/edit#heading=h.yntaurhtrzrq> - List of <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AbUUKDkgilbtHu9Dh_5V2dnOeQNbKBcRo4d7VEDyqOg/edit#gid=673949815> terms <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AbUUKDkgilbtHu9Dh_5V2dnOeQNbKBcRo4d7VEDyqOg/edit#gid=673949815> in Humboldt Extension for ecological inventories - Humboldt Extension for ecological inventories User Guide <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rX4m94rtZDR_8iIe3RvRnNYKDJcmSX3ii4S5hCznEA0/edit#heading=h.saw9z0q9awkb> *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!
