Hi folks,

Great job getting through this major milestone. I will proceed to create the extension definition by making an updated version following the model of the previous version (http://rs.gbif.org/sandbox/extension/Humboldt_2020-12-11.xml) to avoid any delays.

Even if the name for the product changes, I don't think there is any point in changing the Task Group name. It is an ephemeral entity that began its work with the Humboldt Core (even if it was an extension), An outcome can be a name change without affecting the name of the group. Furthermore, the proposed name may meet with resistance within TDWG anyway, There is a movement to avoid using historical figure names in standards. To avoid having our progress get caught up in any of that, Tim R and I propose to move forward right now without trying to incorporate a name change so as not to impede the great momentum. Since we are still testing it won't really affect the final product name or namespace, but it may be important to make testers aware that the name is not set in stone.

Cheers,

John

Rob had a great suggestion to make an online poll to get your anonymous opinion regarding the name change so here it goes!

Hi all,

I have some great news. Paula, Kate and myself have finally finished revising the definitions, comments and examples for all Humboldt terms that we (as a group) decided to keep.

Please take a look at them in our github (where we track all changes from the original publication) or here for a simpler version with all current terms.

Since subgroups are actively working on testing and documentation, I propose we skip our general meeting next week. If you are interested in participating in any of the subgroups please let me know and I'll send the details for the next meetings.

One key item that we still have to agree on is changing the TDWG Task group name and the associated github from Humboldt Core (HC) to Humboldt Extension to Darwin Core (HE).

Any thoughts?

Have a great weekend!

Yani
