Hi Neil,

I think demonstrating a case for inventories with interactions would be
particularly compelling. Working with the Plant-Pollinator Interactions
Group in Brazil (https://github.com/BioComp-USP/rebipp-data-standard) has
shown that there are many core (pun partially intended) issues in common in
terms (another pun?) of shared hierarchical Event structuring.

Cheers,

John
