Add tutorial about using SQL Occurrence Download API for making cubes #44

Open damianooldoni opened 2 months ago

damianooldoni commented 2 months ago

Hi 👋

I wrote two tutorials about generating occurrence cubes using SQL queries. See https://damianooldoni.github.io/b3cubes-sql-examples/, from my repo b3cubes-sql-examples. I didn't spend too much time in the website as my goal is to archive the repo once we transfer the tutorial(s) to this b-cubed repo.

The first tutorial (Getting Started) is a more detailed demo of the documentation provided by GBIF in its tech docs. The most important point is the last section (Your first species occurrence cube) where I included some observations popping up in the wp2 slack channel (@MattBlissett, @beukueb). I think this document can be used to improve the GBIF tech docs and so not needed to be added to this repo. But I can be wrong... Interesting what you think about it.

The second tutorial (occurrence cubes from a GBIF checklist) is the main contribution and it extends sensibly the present GBIF tech docs by adding all steps to generate an occurrence cube starting from a GBIF checklist and applying relevant spatial filters and other important aspects for researchers. It also include some observations popping up in the wp2 slack channel (@MattBlissett, @beukueb) about polygons.

@peterdesmet and everybody interested: what do you think about it? Can somebody review it and provide some feedback? Thanks.

Thank you @peterdesmet. Yes, that's for me. I plan to do it next week.
