It should remain where and when and what was taken "from the wild" by what method. After that is sampling. It may be that a Sample core should not have all of the attributes of an Occurrence, or that the Occurrence core itself is poorly modeled by assuming that the Organisms will be identified. Couldn't we view real-world collecting in a way such that specimens are samples until someone applies some method to better identify them?

Well, let's investigate one thing about your diagram first. Shouldn't there be a one-to-many relationship between Occurrence (specimen) and Sample rather than a many-to-one?
Specimen from the field = Occurrence + Event + Location + Identification + Taxon Sample from the specimen's liver = Sample Sample from the specimen's heart = Sample Sample from the specimen's gut = Sample
yes, thats true. Ididnt think about samples that way when I drafted the diagram.
The scenario I had in my mind was the environmental sample, a vegetation plot survey or just a rock with various lichen species on it. Usually with rich data about the location, habitat and abiotic measurements (lends itself nicely to an extension for samples). In such a sample you then find various species which would be the basis for an occurrence. In the case of metagenomic samples the list of taxa is actually derived information from the amplifications and can vary according to the method used (basically the entire occurrence extension can be derived from the amplifications in this case).
Actually when you take a gut sample from an animal you often are interested in the fauna of that gut, so the occurrences would not be the host, but the bacteria occurring within it.

And all of the Samples could have multiple Amplifications.
If we want to model this with a Sample Core, then Occurrences may be repeated in the Occurrence extension in your diagram, but every sample would have no more than one Occurrence in the extension file and the sampleID relationship would be one-to-one. If so, then it is also possible to have a Sample Core (Sample rowType) with sampleID as the core record identifier, with "Sample" as basisOfRecord, and with all of the attributes of Sample and of the existing Occurrence Core. This would avoid having a distinct Occurrence extension for Samples, which could get confusing for those who are accustomed to mapping Occurrences already. This combined Sample/Occurrence Core could still have a one-to-many relationship to the Amplifications.

I like the approach of having a Sample Core, but the approach taken thus far was with the view of being pragmatic to put into practice by January 2013. What do you think could be the possibility of adding a new Core type to the IPT on that time scale? The Darwin Core archive specification can certainly handle it, but the proof is in the implementation.

Im not so sure how well it would work with environmental samples - would we have the sample flattened out and repeated to represent the individual taxa, sexes, ages, etc found in there? I was therefore wondering if anyone had thought about the attached setup before. Sample is at its core and occurrence & dna amplification as extensions with the amplifications (optionally?) refering to the occurrence they belong to.
Another quick observation is that we try to reuse existing terms in extensions as much as possible. Following that rule for example dwc:institutionCode should rather be used instead of dNACollectionCode and probably dc:source for the referenceCitation

Dear John,
Please see our working revisions/comments/questions on the DNA/tissue extension for Darwin Core (highlighted in blue). We were able to work through the draft up through "class sample properties": https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RCgIPfu9gAPubjjbog-9vCJonvqcK1pLOaq6H8GS...
The document is also attached for your reference (just incase any of you are unable to access the document).
Please try to respond to our questions and comments prior to our meeting tomorrow (be sure to make these changes using a different color for tracking purposes).
Tomorrow we will like to 1) briefly recap our revisions on the extension so far (addressing questions and comments), 2) complete our review of the extension and 3) identify any remaining issues with DwC working with IPT (and identify if any changes in the IPT are required).
Thank you for your help on this!

Dear all,
I finished working on the Google Doc "DNA Tissue Extension Notes - TDWG 2012". Feel free to let this be a working document where comments and questions can be added. I've attached a Word Doc version for archival purposes.
I added the two template extension files (DNATissueExtension.txt and DNAAmplificationExtension.txt) to the shared TDWG GGBN working group folder linked below. They are in the form they need to be submitted to GBIF to be added to their extension registry. They would both need to be updated with the term descriptions, examples, and constraints.

Dear all,
This is a friendly reminder that we will be meeting next Tuesday afternoon at the TDWG 2012 Conference in order to finalize the draft DarwinCore-A DNA/tissue extension for GGBN. As you know, the immediate need for GGBN members is to publish information on tissues. This will happen through extensions to both ABCDDNA and DarwinCore-A. Here we are focused on developing the DarwinCore-A DNA/tissue extension.
An update on the timeline for developing the draft DarwinCore-A DNA/tissue extension is listed below.
Review content requirements for DarwinCore-A DNA/tissue extension (completed, see attached required DNA and tissue elements)John Weiczorek will develop the draft DarwinCore-A DNA/tissue extension (to be completed for group review prior to our break out session on Tuesday afternoon, October 23).Tuesday October 23, working meeting· Questions to answer before final review of DNA/tissue extension
o How do we include repeatable elements of ABCDDNA into DwC-A-DNA (References to more than one sequence record/publication are mandatory)?
o How do we extend the "Basis of Record" in ABCD and DwC-A and how do we include an element similar to ABCD-"Kind of Unit" to DwC-A?
o What are the remaining issues for DwC-A working with IPT? Are any changes in the IPT required?
· Review and finalize draft DarwinCore-A DNA/tissue extension for posting to GBIF site.
Thank you again to everyone who is involved in this project. I look forward to seeing all of you in Beijing.

Here is the wrapup of the bioCollections Ontology workshop from last week at GSC14:
http://biocodecommons.org/workshops/bioCollections/index.html
This is relevant to these discussions since we focussed on what constitutes a "sample" and also, probably more importantly, processes that work with samples.
We briefly discussed the DwC Tissue Extension and came up with a proposal for a quick-fix and a more substantial fix. The quick-fix is to create two new BasisOfRecord terms: TissueSubSample, DNAExtract (or some terms like that -- Tuco could provide more clarification on this too). Thus, theoretically we could override the dwc:Occurrence class to mean, for example, TissueSubSample the same way we do for Specimens and Observations. The bigger fix is to more fundamentally re-orient DwC around the notion of "Sample", involving adding/changing some properties although we didn't get into any specifics.
P.s. I can do the 12/1/2 timeslots for that monday or tuesday but not the 11.

Dear all,
My name is Katie Barker and I am the Global Genome Biodiversity Network Coordinator. As you know from Paul Flemons, members of the GGBN Data Standards and Data Access Task Force are trying to pull together a task group, which you are all part of, for the upcoming TDWG meeting in Beijing this October in order to address a Darwin Core extension to enable data sharing of tissues and DNA data amongst its members. I am contacting you to schedule a meeting in late September/early October to develop a draft proposal for this extension to be completed at the upcoming TDWG meeting.
Please let me know your availability for the last two weeks of September and first two weeks of October. There will be some scheduling issues, as there are task group members on the west and east coasts of the U.S., Europe and Australia.
Paul Flemons (in Australia) will be in the U.S. the first week of October, so maybe we can meet in the afternoon of the 1st, anytime on the second 2nd, or in the morning of the 3rd of October over teleconference (US Eastern Daylight Time). Please let me know if any of these time slots work for you.
Gabi, I believe that you and John Deck will be at the GSC 14 meeting next week. Is there any chance that you can start drawing up an outline for the proposed extension? We could review the outline during our group telecon and start drafting a proposal for review at the TDWG meeting in October.

Hi all, I am on the Data Standards and Access Task Force for the Global Genome Biodiversity Network (http://ggbn.org/) which is in need of a Darwin Core extension to enable data sharing of tissues and DNA data amongst its members.
To this end I am writing to you to ask if you would be interested in participating in a small working group at TDWG in Beijing this year.
At this stage my plan would be to identify relevant fields for inclusion in the extension, using ABCDDNA as a reference. If sufficient progress is made then we would submit the extension for ratification by TDWG (is that how its done John?) The GGBN will use whatever comes out of the group to move towards having a suitable DwC based schema for data sharing.
So please let me know if you are willing to participate in the task group and/or if there is anyone else you feel would be beneficial to have involved.
How much time do you think we will need? I have been thinking that a day will be needed, so we could make that consist of either one full day or two half days. Im also thinking that during the week will be the best time for this.
Thanks for your time
Best Regards Paul
