[tdwg-content] sample Darwin Core Archives of various flavors

Tue Oct 25 16:09:54 CEST 2016

Hi Steve,

Ah, now I remember what happened. GBIF no longer supports the MaterialSample core that’s why we switched back to the Occurrence core. There was honestly no difference in these two cores apart from occurrenceID/materialsampleID. To cover all required fields for a materialSample we created the materialSample GGBN extension.

But in any case you have a couple of extensions associated here, especially the relatedResource-class is very important (at least for GGBN). So I guess it’s worth playing with it ☺

The full documentation of the GGBN extensions can be found at: http://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/GGBN_Data_Standard

Best,
Gabi

Thanks, Gabi!

I haven't actually tried to process the archive yet, but I unzipped the archive and looked at the meta.xml file.  It's showing occurrence.txt as the core file and materialsample.txt as an extension file.  I can still play with the data, but unless I'm mistaken, that archive would be classified as an occurrence core archive, right?  I would assume that an actual "material sample core" archive would have a table designated as representing the dwc:MaterialSample calss (or analog) placed within the "core" element of the meta.xml file, rather than as an extension.

Sorry, used the wrong list ☹
Here is the email once again.

Hi Steve,

I guess you can use one of the GGBN archives, since we are using the MaterialSample core with many extensions, e.g. http://collections.nmnh.si.edu/ipt/archive.do?r=nmnh_materialsample_test

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
Gabi

Markus and all,

Thanks for the responses.  I have several great datasets that I've downloaded from datasets at GBIF, so I have a lot to play with.  I've got occurrence, taxon, and event core archives, which is great.  I'd still be interested in an example of a material sample core archive if anyone has a good example, particularly if it had rich extension files linked to it.  I'll probably report on my experimentation in a future blog post.

Hi Steve,
you can find thousands of openly published dwc archives at the GBIF registry: http://www.gbif.org/dataset

unless it is a biocase or digir resource   each details page contains the link to the dwca on the right side. Taxon and Event core datasets are always dwc-as

best,
markus

Hi Steve,
I have a sampling event dataset on GBIF, which is quite richly populated.

I have been playing around with turning Darwin Core Archives into RDF [1] and would like to extend my experiments to attempting to integrate data from archives that have very different core files.  I have played with the dwcaMolluscsAndorra.zip Occurrence archive mentioned in Annex 3 of the DwC-A How-To Guide [2], but the Whales-DWC-A.zip file isn't available any more (I guess because of the demise of Google Code).  A little bit of Google searching failed to turn up additional obvious example files.

If anyone would be interested in making DwC-A archives available to me, I'd appreciate it.  I'm particularly interested in archives that have cores other than Occurrence (although an Occurrence archive that has more complex data, including extensions, than the mollusc example would be welcome).  If there are any MaterialSample or Event core arcives, that would be particularly interesting.
Preferably, I'd like to have access to archives that contain publicly available data, since I'm likely to blog about the outcome and potentially use the data in examples.  If there are publicly available archives downloadable via a URL, you can reply to the list - otherwise let me know how I could access your example.

Thanks in advance for your help!
