eventType

Hi all, I hope you are all well. I’d like to draw your attention to the proposal to add eventType to Darwin Core [1]. As GBIF look to diversify our data model [2,3], we have identified the need for this term to be able to qualify what kind of events we’re arranging in the hierarchy. We know others have identified this need as well. Since GBIF are working with the ALA to bring Sampling Event search and download to GBIF and the ALA, we have added eventType for use in the TEST IPTs already [e.g. 4] in a GBIF(!) namespace, allowing this work to progress. eventType will likely capture a broad range of values to distinguish between things like visiting events, gathering events, material extraction events etc. It will take time to establish, but we imagine a hierarchical controlled vocabulary might be achievable, with an upper taxonomy that provides the anchoring points for communities to hang more specialist eventTypes from. This might be of use for those creating test datasets to showcase Humboldt as well. Thanks, Tim [1] https://github.com/tdwg/dwc/issues/408 [2] https://www.gbif.org/event/33MQ8ZI9xuC98AekewiMr8/gbif-community-webinar-di… [3] http://lists.tdwg.org/pipermail/tdwg-content/2021-December/003811.html [4] https://ipt.gbif.org/

Hi all, This is just a reminder that we will not have our regular meeting this week. In our last meeting we decided to take advantage of that time and advance individually on the documentation<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…> and examples. See you all next week! Cheers, Yanina V.

Hi all, Hope you are all having a great week! I would like to thank Steve for proposing a symposium at TDWG 2022<https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2022/> for all late-stage task groups, including ours! This would be a perfect setting to share the results of Humboldt extension testing phase and invite the larger community for the public review. Below you will find the proposed agenda for tomorrow: * Finalize Humboldt documentation<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZglRfoQUGpsDm4t2M4B6Qif2IlbPvuBaRBeOi9x…> * missing examples * complete sections * Finalize feedback form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1zk2QEtrvekXDiZnkNEo6GhKxizQlP7GUVzUf5wph_N…> * discuss how the internal testing went * match terms with IPT * recordedRichness (?) * Identify external testers (see all proposed testers listed here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cWWOw720Qw2eWOVRTeZSHD0eavt78KFB_b6vAH-…>) See you soon!

Humboldt TG Meeting Wed 13 April 2022, 08:00 EST

Hi all, Hope everyone is doing well. First, big Kudos to Tim and John for a great webinar on Diversifying the GBIF data model<https://www.gbif.org/new-data-model>. They not only gave a very clear introduction to the new "GBIF Grand Unified Model" but they also actively invited people to join our TG and test our proposal! Thank you! Second, John has agreed to help us with the test IPT for the Humboldt extension. This would be very valuable for our testing subgroup, but we thought it would be a good idea to open this to everybody who is interested. Hence, tomorrow in our typical Wed meeting we will have some time to ask John questions regarding the IPT (and potentially how the new unified data model could impact that work). There has also been a lot of progress in the Humboldt documentation<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZglRfoQUGpsDm4t2M4B6Qif2IlbPvuBaRBeOi9x…> and the testing feedback form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1zk2QEtrvekXDiZnkNEo6GhKxizQlP7GUVzUf5wph_N…>, that would greatly benefit from your comments! Below you will find the proposed agenda for tomorrow: * Are we ready for external testing of Humboldt extension? * specific IPT questions (questions for John) * Any comments on the documentation and feedback form? * have we identified external testers? * How can the working group have an active participation in TDWG 2022<https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2022/>? * Deadline is this Friday! All the best! Yani Yanina V. Sica, PhD Lead Data Team Map of Life<https://mol.org/> | Center for Biodiversity and Global Change<https://bgc.yale.edu/> Yale University pronouns: she/her/hers

Hi all, Hope everybody is well! A lot of cool things going on lately... Thanks, Tim, for drawing our attention to the proposal to add eventType<https://github.com/tdwg/dwc/issues/408> to Darwin Core. It is definitely in line with many of our discussions (related Humboldt terms: compilationType, inventoryType). John also shared the invitation to participate in the webinar on Diversifying the GBIF data model that will take place on April 12 2022, at 14:00 UTC. You can register here<https://www.gbif.org/event/33MQ8ZI9xuC98AekewiMr8/gbif-community-webinar-di…> We have also made a lot of progress on the IPT testing and Humboldt documentation<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZglRfoQUGpsDm4t2M4B6Qif2IlbPvuBaRBeOi9x…>. Below you will find the proposed agenda for tomorrow: * How can the proposed addition of eventType benefit the usage of Humboldt extension? * How are we getting ready for external testing of Humboldt extension? * Kate will share the Google Form we created to collect external feedback * Please comment, review, edit the documentation! * How can the working group have an active participation in TDWG 2022? All the best!
