HC terms first round review ready
by Paula Zermoglio 04 Apr '21

04 Apr '21

Dear all, Hope you are well and happy. I have finally uploaded a vocabulary csv file <https://github.com/tdwg/hc/tree/main/vocabulary> to the HC repo, containing the results of the first review round on the HC terms. Yani, Kate and I have worked hard to go through all of the terms reviewing their definitions, comments and examples. As you’ll see in the file, for some terms we were able to reach consensus, for some others we decided to just leave it open for group review. However, we need all of you to review ALL the terms and check if the decisions we are proposing make sense. To help in understanding the vocabulary file and how we would proceed with this, I’ve built a wiki page in the repo: How to review the HC Vocabulary <https://github.com/tdwg/hc/wiki/How-to-review-the-HC-Vocabulary>. Please take a look at that page before starting your review (and of course please let me know if something seems unreasonable there). You will note that there are issues already posted in the repo, most of those are about particular terms or sets of terms, and are linked in the vocabulary file (see Wiki for details). PLEASE consider watching the repo <https://github.com/tdwg/hc>, this will help us get everyone on board and on track to speed up the review process. Enjoy! paula

Humboldt Task Group Meeting Wed 31 March 2021, 0800 EST: homework!
by Yanina Sica 30 Mar '21

30 Mar '21

Hi all, As per our discussion at the last meeting, we have homework for next Wednesday! Propose a definition (include comments and examples if appropriate) for the following HC terms: - protocolName - The idea of this term would be to capture a -more or less- specific protocol, but without including specific details in textual form. As discussed in our last meeting this term could involve the concatenation of General Target Category + Method Approach + General Method Type + Specific Method Name from Survey Methods Definition <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ojS1gRk5MJZ5OWYuaXaGt0oFn3J-JPvpHT-…> (better known as “Peter’s spreadsheet” :) ). Consider if such a term would need an associated controlled vocabulary, and if so, whether we would attempt to provide one, point to existing one(s), or leave open for future work. - protocolDescription/protocolDetail - As discussed in our last meeting, this term would allow users to capture detailed information about the protocol, including any deviation from the published methodologies and unpublished protocols. - protocolReference - From our conversation in our last meeting, it was not clear if this should be retained separately or included in protocolDescription/protocolDetail. If you feel it should be a separate term, please provide definition, comments, examples. This term would refer to formatted references and URL or direct DOI links to the protocols used. For reference: - check the definitions of the original related terms in HC (see Vocabulary file <https://github.com/tdwg/hc/tree/main/vocabulary>: protocol name, protocol detail, protocol citation, protocol reference) - revisit the definition of dwc:samplingProtocol <https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:samplingProtocol> *Please send your proposed definitions to me or Paula by Tuesday* so we include them in a small presentation to improve our discussions. Thank you and see you on Wed!

Hi all, Thanks to everybody who joined! We had a great first meeting to discuss HC terms. Heads-up that we are moving to *weekly meetings of 1.5 hours* (8am-9:30am EST) until we finish the revision process. Next week (Mar 24), we will keep discussing the Vocabulary file <https://github.com/tdwg/hc/blob/main/vocabulary/HC_terms_2021-02-28.csv> (also attached) with "direct mapping to DwC" or "deprecate/indirect mapping" in the column "review_decision" starting from *elevation*. We will aim at reaching consensus for all these terms during the meeting, so if we all give them a look beforehand it would help us speed up the discussions. You can take a look at our meeting notes here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/10cvJl9nuVZIsfKJStA4DsqcNNfrtb8jfc-mUXck…> . All the best!! Yanina V. Sica, PhD Data Manager | Map of Life Yale University pronouns: she/her/hers LIST OF TERMS TO BE DISCUSSED NEXT WED: original_HC_label elevation (lower bound) elevation (upper bound) depth (lower bound) depth (upper bound) start year start month start day end year end month end day start time end time protocol name protocol detail protocol citation protocol reference effort amount upper bound effort upper bound unit effort amount lower bound effort lower bound unit

Hi all, Just a reminder that we are meeting this Wed (March 17) to begin the process of reviewing each and every of the *original HC terms and definitions.* This Wed we'll tackle all terms for which the first review round has resulted in the following decisions: - *direct mapping to DwC * - *deprecate/indirect mapping. * This is a list of *31 terms* that you can find in the Vocabulary file <https://github.com/tdwg/hc/blob/main/vocabulary/HC_terms_2021-02-28.csv> with "direct mapping to DwC" or "deprecate/indirect mapping" in the column "review_decision". *Attached you can find the Vocabulary file to filter or you can download it from Github* (see PRO TIP below). To help with the reviewing process, Paula will give a quick overview of the terms and any associated issues. *We will aim at reaching consensus for all these terms during the meeting, so if we all give them a look beforehand it would help us speed up the discussions.* Quick reminder that *daylight saving in the US started this weekend* on March 14th (In Europe it starts in two weeks on March 29th) so it might impact on our meeting hours. Hope our usual 8am EST still works for everybody. Hope you are all well! See you on Wednesday, PRO TIP: To get the csv file from GitHub, press "Ctrl" key + "Raw" and it will download the file directly (in Mac, "Option" key + "Raw").
