[dwc-material-sample] [EXT] Re: TDWG presentation authorship

[Bölling, Christian]

Dear all,

I believe that only the author identified as presenting author needs to be registered for the TDWG 2022 conference, see [1]. I have contacted the organizers to confirm and will update if their response says differently.

I share some of Juttas concerns and have made some suggested changes to the abstract which I hope might help to convey the right kind of sentiment about the group's progress and working atmosphere (I have also created a named version of the original draft in the version history of the document). I'll be happy to add myself as co-author to an updated version. I'm sure the abstract could even expand further on some aspects of the work, e.g. on the ideas for MaterialSampleType. We also might want to mention the objectives of the task group in a concise form.

Dear Teresa and Steve,
Dear all,

Thank you very much for initiating the abstract for TDWG2022.

Reading it yesterday, I added to it a small aspect that I thought was missing. Likely I have been sufficiently involved to be a potential coauthor. However, I am hesitating to add myself to the list, since I am coorganizer for a symposium and workshop and won't be able to really contribute to the development of the abstract and presentation.

Still, I wonder why nobody has added themselves as coauthors, since my impression had been that we had been/are a rather inspired, good-natured and engaged group.

Currently, the abstract doesn't seem to be a good description of the group's process. It also sounds rather negative. I wonder if I am the only one to perceive it in this way.

Until reading the text today, I thought that the atmosphere in the group had been good, we discussed much more than what originally had been planned (eg. AC, DES, GBIF, DwC "ontology"), however that seemed necessary and productive. For the philosophical/theoretical topics that I focused on, we seemed to share wide overlaps if not general consensus, and did move towards common understanding(s), even if we didn't nail this down explicitly. I thought actually we had the potential for a paper or two in the making. In the end, Teresa, your moderation brought us back to very concretely identify and define terms, the original goal.

SPNHC2022's viral parting gift had me in its grip at the time of the last monthly meeting. Though, the next meeting is in my calendar and I am very interested in the current state of the discussion on the iSample vocabularies, having their application to GRSciColl in the back of my mind.

We are actually a pretty large group, let's be as communicative and productive with the abstract and presentation as we have been throughout.

Best wishes,

Jutta
