IPT release 2.4.2
by Matthew Blissett 08 Sep '20

08 Sep '20

Dear IPT users, A new version of the IPT has been released, version 2.4.2. This version fixes a bug introduced by the security update released last Thursday, where some resources in the IPT would fail to load after the upgrade. The new version is available for download at https://repository.gbif.org/content/groups/gbif/org/gbif/ipt/2.4.2/ipt-2.4.… . New CentOS packages and Docker containers have also been generated, please see https://github.com/gbif/ipt#latest-release-242 . Please read the release notes, particularly if you are not upgrading from version 2.4.0 or 2.4.1: https://github.com/gbif/ipt/wiki/IPTReleaseNotes233.wiki No data was lost with the bug in version 2.4.1, but when upgrading it's a good idea to check your backup procedures are running correctly. Very occasionally, users have accidentally deleted data, or disks in servers have failed. The IPT data directory should be backed up regularly to a different place, as well as any custom configuration (e.g. Apache configuration, or custom styling applied to the IPT). Sincerely, Matthew Blissett GBIF Secretariat

IPT virtual workshop at TDWG (24/25 September)
by Tim Robertson 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

Dear all, I am pleased to announce that we will run a free "virtual workshop" on the IPT at the TDWG 2020 conference. The workshop [1] will be held over two 90 minutes sessions starting at 14:30UTC on Thursday 24th and Friday 25th September [2] and is being run jointly with the BioCASe community. This is open to anyone who registers for the conference [3]. This workshop aims to capture ideas and requirements to help guide the future direction of the IPT. We are aware of requests for usability improvements and the limitation of the "star schema" imposed by the Darwin Core Archive format and expect these to be topics in the workshop. As we plan for the workshop: - are there major topics that you would like to see discussed? (standards, APIs, functionalities, integrations with open repositories etc) - have you strong ideas of changes you would like to see in the IPT (or not see) that you would like to present during the workshop? We welcome feedback before 8th September to help us plan for a fruitful discussion. Please send to trobertson(a)gbif.org<mailto:trobertson@gbif.org> Many thanks, Tim, Jörg [1] https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2020/working-sessions/#ws01:%20capturing%2… [2] https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2020/working-sessions-schedule/ [3] https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tdwg-2020-working-sessions-2125-september-tick…

how to do when you have more than one sampling method for the same plant plot
by Rui Figueira 21 Jul '20

21 Jul '20

Dear all, One of our publishers is preparing an event based dataset with plant surveys, where two measurements were taken at each location: a Braun Blanquet Scale value and % of coverage. The normal option to create this dataset would be to make two event records for each plot, one for each survey method. This allows to preserve all original data, but will result in two occurrences for the same species at the same plot. The other option would be to report only one of the survey methods, avoiding occurrence duplication, but not preserving data for the other method. Would anyone have a suggestion how to prepare the dataset, so that it keeps values for both methods and does not create duplication of occurrences? Or the duplication is not an issue, and we should publish data for both methods?

Re: [IPT] Action: check options - how to do when you have more than one sampling method for the same plant plot
by Andrea Hahn 21 Jul '20

21 Jul '20

Hi Rui, I would like to advise against creating duplicates for this purpose. For one thing, it is difficult for users to understand how (and why) to pull the information together again if it appears in two separate records. Assuming that both measurements were taken at the same location as well as time: have you considered using the "ExtendedMeasurementsOrFacts" extension (https://tools.gbif.org/dwca-validator/extension.do?id=http://rs.iobis.org/o… It seems to cover your scenario.

IPT fields mapped to GBIF API download fields?
by Simpson, Annie 07 Jul '20

07 Jul '20

I'm new to the list, and though I've looked at the archives I find them hard to maneuver (very nested; can't just 'search on page'). Can anyone point me to a reference/lookup table that maps the IPT field names and content to the names and content of the fields that are currently within a GBIF download (.xlsx example is attached, with 241 columns)? Thanks if you can, and may you be well, Annie Simpson, biologist and information scientist BioFoundational Data Team Science Analytics & Synthesis Program U.S. Geological Survey 12201 Sunrise Valley Dr. Mailstop 302 Reston VA 20192 asimpson(a)usgs.gov +1 703-648-4281 https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8338-5134
