Dear all

 

We are making progress with MIDS and we can provide a short update on work done. We are also looking forwards to plan the work still to be completed in preparation for MIDS to go to review as part of the ratification process.

 

As always, we will be using the TDWG MIDS Github site: https://github.com/tdwg/mids

The notes from the meetings can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19ET0p6641ZNzNQG4qNs_jje0LokoKJ9Ls5bhFdUw184/edit?tab=t.0

 

Work done:

• MIDS levels 0-3 defined
• MIDS Information Elements for Levels 0-3 defined
• SSSOM mapping for existing DWC and ABCD terms drafted
• MIDS Calculator developed – new version ready for testing https://github.com/AgentschapPlantentuinMeise/MIDSCalculator/tree/format_support
• MIDS checker developed
• MIDS incorporated into DiSSCo
• Draft website platform initiated https://dev.mids.dissco.tech/
• Draft wiki platform initiated https://github.com/tdwg/mids/wiki

 

Next Milestones:

• Next release of the MIDS Calculator to include ability to analyse any file in DWC Archive format
• Next release of the MIDS Checker working for all disciplines

We also need to focus on some key topics to agree some MIDS specification functionality and maintenance. We will send round a Doodle poll to decide on dates for these topics.

• Users and their requirements
• MIDS namespace

 

We hope to see you at the meetings which are currently being held every Thursday ()
