DWC Occurrence Exporter More Terms (Other) #3119

Open tmcelrath opened 1 year ago

tmcelrath commented 1 year ago

Feature or enhancement

DWC Export should include the following terms:

[ ] datasetID (mint or use GBIF DOI?)
[x] taxonID (TaxonWorks internal ID?, other? only if custom identifier provided?)
[ ] taxonomicStatus (pull from nomenclature?)
[ ] countryCode (add to Geographic Areas then export?)
[ ] continent (dataAttribute? add to geographic areas if enough demand?, pretty sure AntWeb people will want)

I don't expect to see these get added very. Some notes for when we do consider them.

We don't have a datasetID concept, this is blocked by metadata profile modelling.
taxonID - "This term is deprecated and should no longer be used."
taxonomicStatus - By definition I think we use valid names, but I have to check, would seem funny to export invalid names?
countryCode - We have this, but the pre-indexing we do doesn't cover it. So it's possible, but largely redundant, especially if Georeference is present.
continent - Seems this is inferable at the aggregator level? Ant folks want biogeo regions, not contient IIRC.

Continent = agreed - nvm taxonID = agreed - nvm countryCode = redundancy is never a bad thing IMO - I think we should calc and export taxonomicStatus = not necessarily
