A proposal to improve Darwin Core for invasive species data
by Quentin Groom 25 Jun '16

25 Jun '16

I've been working on a proposal to improve Darwin Core for use with invasive species data. The proposal is detailed on GitHub at https://github.com/qgroom/ias-dwc-proposal/blob/master/proposal.md. The proposal is for a new term "origin" and suggested vocabularies for establishmentMeans and occurrenceStatus. I'd welcome your feedback on the proposal. >From my perspective it provides some needed clarity on the establishmentMeans and occurrenceStatus fields, but also adds the origin that is needed for invasive species research and for conservation assessments. I'm not sure of the best way to discuss this, but if you have concrete proposals for changes you might raise them as issues on GitHub, as well as mentioning them here.
