Proposed charter for a TAG Vocabulary Management Task Group (VOMAG)

02 Nov '12

Dear TAG, After battling with the plans for a biodiversity knowledge organization (KOS) framework for biodiversity information resources we have identified the requirement to develop guidelines and best practices for the management of vocabularies of terms. Basic terms organized in vocabularies provides an essential element to underpin the biodiversity information standards. As introduced at the TDWG 2011 TAG meetings in New Orleans, we propose the formation of a new Vocabulary Management Task Group (VOMAG) [1] to be organized under the TDWG technical architecture group (TAG). Please find the draft charter available from the GBIF Community Site [2][3]. Here you will also find another draft document "Biodiversity Knowledge Organization System: Proposed Architecture; Version 0.1 February 2012" that provides an overview of the proposed KOS landscape and the context for the proposed work-plan of the Vocabulary Management Task Group Charter. This is the first draft so far only discussed with Greg Whitbread as convener of the TDWG TAG and with Steve Baskauf and Joel Sachs as convener of the TDWG RDF/OWL task group. We invite feedback and comments to the proposed formation of the task group including suggestions with regard to the work-plan. Please join the Vocabulary Management group at the GBIF Community Site [1]. You can start or participate in discussions or share suggestions using the GBIF Community Site. Feel also free to make contact with us to volunteer as a core member for this proposed task group!

Dear Daniel, The following query may work (I couldn't test it tough): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <inventoryTemplate xmlns="http://rs.tdwg.org/tapir/1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://rs.tdwg.org/tapir/1.0 http://rs.tdwg.org/tapir/1.0/schema/tapir.xsd"> <label></label> <documentation></documentation> <concepts> <concept id="http://www.tdwg.org/schemas/abcd/2.06/DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Identific…"/> </concepts> </inventoryTemplate> You can use this tool to generate automatically Tapir Queries on ABCD concepts: http://tapir.tdwg.org/builder/ 1) Go on "Inventory templates" (to build queries generating lists of unique values) 2) Load the CNS (list of recognized schemas: ) 3) Select the schema in the list "Conceptual schema" 4) Then select the concept you want to query ("FullScientificSchema") Best regards, Franck ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Daniel Fuentes <danifbconil(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, May 29, 2012 at 2:06 PM Subject: Re: [tdwg-tag] Making a query from a external application to Tapir client To: Kevin Richards <RichardsK(a)landcareresearch.co.nz> Cc: "tdwg-tag(a)lists.tdwg.org" <tdwg-tag(a)lists.tdwg.org> Thanks for all your responses.

What can I do to obtain in the response just (for example) the ScientificName? Thanks! 2012/5/28 Kevin Richards <RichardsK(a)landcareresearch.co.nz> Daniel I developed the .NET implementation of tapir and it is basically the same as the php one, so yes, just replace the *.php with the *.aspx equivalent. Let me know if you have any issues and I can help you out. I have updated the code in recent years, so I might upload the latest version to sourceforge.

There might be slight differences, but I havent tried the dot net version myself so I cant say much about that. The capabilities should tell you what features the implementation supports, but the basics should work fine. Do you have a public example url?

Making a query from a external application to Tapir client
by Daniel Fuentes 29 May '12

29 May '12

Hello, I'm developing a program to make searches to the Tapir client. To do that, I have to include the parameteres of the query in the URL using the GET method. I have studied the source code and I think I should include the parameter "request" with the encoded query but it doesn't work for me. How the URL can be formed? What parameters do I have to include? Thanks in advance! Best, Daniel
