Wow!!! This is amazing!! Thanks for pushing this forward John!! And thanks for the nice words, this was indeed an amazing group effort! Yani On Wed, 14 Feb 2024 at 21:06, Wesley M. Hochachka <wmh6@cornell.edu> wrote:

Wow...and you even were able to start off the ratification process on a travel day! I'm looking forward to being able to think entirely about implementation, getter a richer representation of eBird's data into GBIF.

Dear Executive Committee,
As convenor and on behalf of the Darwin Core Maintenance Interest Group it is my pleasure to announce that the Humboldt Extension Task Group has completed and presents the results of the tasks in its charter ( https://www.tdwg.org/community/osr/humboldt-extension/). The tasks included a public review, which went through two rounds of changes and resulted in useful updates to the originally proposed vocabulary enhancement to Darwin Core. The result is a clear set of terms, their definitions, usage comments, and examples and a formal controlled vocabulary for the new term eco:taxonCompletenessReported. The entire history of the review process ( https://github.com/tdwg/hc/issues?q=is%3Aissue) and the resulting changes can be found in the TDWG Humboldt Extension GitHub repository ( https://github.com/tdwg/hc).
In addition to the review, the GitHub repository and associated documents contain the necessary documentation to comply with the Vocabulary Maintenance Standard (https://www.tdwg.org/standards/vms/). The Landing page for the Extension (https://eco.tdwg.org/) provides links to all relevent documentation, including the normative "Humboldt Extension Vocabulary List of Terms" document (https://eco.tdwg.org/list/), a "Usage Guide" (non-normative, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rX4m94rtZDR_8iIe3RvRnNYKDJcmSX3ii4S5hCzn..., which will be even further developed in collaboration with GBIF), the "Implementation Experience Report" ( https://eco.tdwg.org/humboldt_extension_implementation_experience_report.pdf... "isLeastSpecificTargetCategoryQuantityInclusive Guidelines" ( https://eco.tdwg.org/inclusive/),documentation entitled "Properties of hierarchical events in the Humboldt Extension for Ecological Inventories" ( https://eco.tdwg.org/hierarchy/), and the "Quick Reference Guide" ( https://eco.tdwg.org/terms/) following the pattern of human-friendly documentation for the Darwin Core standard.
Following the Vocabulary Maintenance Standard, by endorsing this proposal and forwarding it to you, we have entered into the Executive Committee Decision Phase. Once ratification is complete, the highlighted Note at the beginning of the landing page will be removed to reflect the new ratified status of the Vocabulary Enhancement.
I want to add a personal note of appreciation for the monumental effort embodied in this submission. The Task Group was extremely effective, and was under the constant capable leadership of Yanina Sica. It was a fantastic job by all involved. I look forward to seeing the immense impact it promises to have on sharing ecological biodiversity data.
Cheers,
John
Hi All It is wonderful we are across the line. Thanks to Yani for her leadership. John and Steve I think all of us appreciate your expertise and guidance with the process. I look forward to the day when these richer data sets start appearing at GBIF. Rob On Wed, Feb 14, 2024 at 4:42 PM Yanina Sica <yanina.sica@gmail.com> wrote:

At the risk of bombing everyone with even more email... I can only reiterate what everyone below has already said. Amazing team, loved working with you all, hope to continue doing so in the near future. And rest assured that work on training materials and mapping of first datasets from iDiv is already in progress. Humboldt Extension is also mentioned all over - perhaps even /too/ liberally - in an EU Consortium grant proposal being submitted next week, that both iDiv and GBIF are involved in. We are really selling this thing. :) Best, Ani On 15/02/2024 06:54, Yi Ming Gan wrote:
