UPDATE before Leipzig
by Dmitry Schigel 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Hello group, Here comes an update to my e-mail below. I hope all of you received it. 1. Arrival to Leipzig. Practical information has been added, and might be further edited in our agenda document. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rCca5wyJYN1fly3xUeSaAGe2q_H-6lWgiN4AdDr…. I have a feeling that we have more topics to discuss than we currently have there in the doc. In addition, we need to schedule skype sessions for John, shall we do 30 mins wrap + Skype ups at the end of each day? 2. Food intolerances. As no one replied, we trust the information in the travel form = no food limitations0 3. Doodle for the dates for the second meeting http://doodle.com/poll/6kv5x2ng7sst32nr. There is only one person answered so far - and it's me. 4. The survey was now drafted in the Survey Monkey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MM6RW6T, feel free to test-answer this and send me you suggestions, preferably before Wed next week. We will of course continue in Leipzig. I also attach a PDF version of the same draft if you are more comfortable with the printout. Note that the survey is much shorter than the ones used by GBIF fitness for use groups before (which maybe a good thing), but also some questions and answers were formulated differently. You might want to compare your latest draft with the earlier surveys archived for you here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzrSPi8wkHZ8Qnk0X3NuSmVhblU. Please refer to a particular question number and add your comments to top part of the same google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AIrL5yFvG-Oj1fyGPS1h9vRbSGCt8FFKD2ZuvIC… In addition here are some good points from Mette Munk, a new secretary at GBIF who helped me with survey: ....discuss, which questions are the most important for you to get answers to. People tend to lose interest/concentration after a while so it's best to put the less important questions at the end - for instance which institution they're from, what their role is - although it may seem to make more sense to put this at the top - it's questions that the person answering doesn't need to think about, so it might be better to put them at the end. .... think about what exactly you need the answers for? There are a lot of multiple choice questions and free text questions - this will provide a very vague survey, but if what you need is input and ideas then this would be ok - but if you need answers to specific questions you should make sure they're in the questionnaire and that the answer options are very specific (yes/no, 2 years/10 years etc.). I you have not gone through my previous e-mail yet, please browse the list below. Please let me know in case there are some questions concerning the meeting in Leipzig. I will arrive on 8 July straight to the last day of the GEO BON conference Many thanks. Best regards, Dmitry Schigel From: Dmitry Schigel Sent: 28 June 2016 11:42 To: 'Task Group on Data Fitness for Use in Research on Invasive Alien Species' Cc: 'Susanne Sheldon' Subject: before Leipzig Hello group, Thanks for all the updates made to Google Drive so far, here come some important news and updates: · SEE UPDATE ABOVE Your arrival to Leipzig. We are working on the arrival instructions which will be circulated to you in early July, i.e. very soon. I understood that most of us are staying the hotel Balance Leipzig. · SEE UDATE ABOVE Food intolerances. There won't be too many eateries open on weekend around iDIV, so we are thinking to order some sandwiches for lunch on Sat and Sun. We can have warm meals in the evening, and the breakfast should be ok in the hotel. If we go for the sandwich option, we won't lose time wandering around, and we anyhow have close to two, not three days after all. Please inform on any food intolerances and allergies so we are sure about that. · SEE UPDATE ABOVE Survey draft.

II meeting option - with TDWG or separately?
by Dmitry Schigel 14 Jun '16

14 Jun '16

Hello group, I have not set the Doodle poll for the II meeting yet. Following Quentin's observation of the unfortunate timing of Meeting II -> Report -> TDWG, I spoke to Donald and he does not mind you delaying the report until 15 Dec, if you think it is productive to have it TDWG -> Meeting II -> Report. I am not sure that the sequence matters that much; of course progress in the standards is an expected recommendation type for your report, but you can possibly decide and agree first in the group, what is desirable and the push it through TDWG voting or discussion in parallel, or after the report? If we meet straight after TDWG in Costa Rica this might (needs to be checked) also cheaper, as seems like at least Quentin and myself will be there anyway. Melodie, your travel limitations is of course the first thing to check. With Costa Rica option, we are talking about dates around 10-14 Dec. If that is suboptimal after all, I will send a Doodle about the dates as originally planned. I forgot I am at the Entomological congress in the end of Sep, so the corridors of dates for me are 5-14 and 24-31 Oct. I think for the final report we will need three full working days excluding travel dates. What do you think? Dmitry

Proposing Changes to Darwin Core
by Quentin Groom 14 Jun '16

14 Jun '16

Dear All, I thought I'd introduce you to an initiative I've started to make changes to the Darwin Core Standard. This seems to be relevant to the Task Group and something we could point to as a concrete outcome. For a long time I have been bothered by the definition and suggested vocabulary for the establishmentMeans field in Darwin Core ( http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/) It doesn't seem fit for purpose and conflates various concepts. For this reason I've drafted a proposal for the TDWG organisation to change Darwin Core. This involved adding a new term "origin"; changing the definition of occurenceStatus and changing the controlled vocabulary of establishmentMeans. You can read the proposal on GitHub (https://github.com/qgroom/DwC_Proposal.git) but I've also attached a version here. I really welcome your comments and I'd be happy if you want to co-propose it with me. Regards Quentin Dr. Quentin Groom (Botany and Information Technology) Botanic Garden Meise Domein van Bouchout B-1860 Meise Belgium ORCID: 0000-0002-0596-5376 <http://orcid.org/0000-0002-0596-5376> Landline; +32 (0) 226 009 20 ext. 364 FAX: +32 (0) 226 009 45 E-mail: quentin.groom(a)plantentuinmeise.be Skype name: qgroom Website: www.botanicgarden.be

IAS vocabularies
by Dmitry Schigel 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

Hello group, Tim Hirsch (cc) would like to remind you on vocabularies on pathways developed by Donald and the informatics team for the latest CBD/GIASIP work, based on the IUCN pathways categorization now accepted by the CBD (http://rs.gbif.org/sandbox/vocabulary/issg/status.xml) Tim also wrote that it is probably worth considering the new 'IAS impact' categories currently being developed by IUCN to mirror their extinction risk categories - see attached slide from Piero Genovesi's presentation to the SBSTTA side event in April. They are not in operation yet, but it might be some good future thinking to consider how these species-level attributes could be included in shared data. Please add those lines to the relevant sections of your report draft<https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FOX4m6FAF38jcuXieIVK-nuy86Jfl2hnUo4LmSBCI…> or survey draft<https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AIrL5yFvG-Oj1fyGPS1h9vRbSGCt8FFKD2ZuvIC6m…>. I have now closed the minutes<https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TECXyiGfuhMi6PLnp55jHngc0rznkqqDqO9hMWbVr…> from the latest Skype call, please see the final section for the homework and the reminder of several deadlines on Friday this week.

Skype minutes for your edits and homework by 17 June
by Dmitry Schigel 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

Hello group, It was a really nice and productive Skype call yesterday. Please see the minutes here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TECXyiGfuhMi6PLnp55jHngc0rznkqqDqO9hMWb…>, and edit where necessary. I'd especially appreciate details, links and clarification from Melodie, Shyama, John and Quentin, please pay attention to red font. I am copying BONUS that we did not discuss and homework also below. I am not sending you the Doodle poll yet because of the option of meeting in connection to TDWG as explained below. BONUS - not discussed · DS checked the timeline in ToRs<https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzrSPi8wkHZ8d1lXOHdrc1ZOaGM> and we are expected to produce a short intermediate report in July 2016. In addition to here-we-are-we-started-to-work, we could include the section structure and some early recommendation that would take shape after Leipzig. This can be very short, 3-4 pages, and it is likely to be included to the document package that is distributed before the GBIF Governing Board meeting, which will take place in October in Brazila. · Following Quentin's observation that it is unfortunate that TDWG takes place after the final report is delivered, there might be an opportunity to postpone deadline and to have our second meeting after TDWG<http://www.tdwg.org/conference2016/> in Costa Rica. DS and QG will be there, so maybe this is actually a better timed and cheaper opportunity? DS need to talk to Donald before sending you the Doodle poll for the II meeting dates. Actions points / Homework: 1. By 17 June, Friday - make sure that the expert list<https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Byyg7vYAqPoWCdkI_wU6PLsycQw6nq4J4ZSx303y6…> is complete. Feel free to add more than 10 key names! 2. By 17 June, Friday - revise and add your questions and answer options to the survey draft<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AIrL5yFvG-Oj1fyGPS1h9vRbSGCt8FFKD2ZuvIC…>. Browse the earlier GBIF surveys and survey summaries for inspiration and ideas (earlier surveys https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzrSPi8wkHZ8Qnk0X3NuSmVhblU, agrobiodiversity report<http://www.gbif.org/resource/82283> includes survey summary, distribution modelling report<http://www.gbif.org/resource/82612> is separate from the DM survey summary<http://www.gbif.org/system/files_force/gbif_resource/resource-82612/Survey_…>). 3. Please think about your availability for the second meeting in the end of September - in October. Doodle link will be coming separately. 4. By 24 June, Friday - Melodie edits the survey draft, Dmitry starts moving survey questions to SurveyMonkey. 5. Before Leipzig, 9 July - we all test answer and correct the survey. GBIF S prepares the navigation tips as part of the Leipzig agenda document, started by Melodie. 6. Ongoing - add your topics, ideas, section to the report draft<https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FOX4m6FAF38jcuXieIVK-nuy86Jfl2hnUo4LmSBCI…>, the texts do not need to be perfect and final, it's a working document.
