Publishing NiN codes - which dwc fields to use

[rukayaj]

I just wanted to put down here what we discussed earlier. When we publishing event or occurrence core data (i.e. some observation of some species), if the collector has noted the NiN type and version, this should be included in dynamicProperties.

Here is an example from Knut:

dynamicProperties {"habitatNiN":"T4-C-3 lågurtskog","versionNiN":"2.1","habitatRemark":"ospeholt","substrateSpecies":"Populus tremula", "substrateScientificNameID":"", "substrateSpeciesRemark":"osp", "microhabitatNiN":"LI_TS7 På bark", "microhabitatRemark":" bark på stående trestamme"} {"habitatNiN":"T4-C-1 blåbærskog","versionNiN":"2.1","habitatRemark":"blåbærgranskog","substrateSpecies":"Picea abies", "substrateScientificNameID":"", "substrateSpeciesRemark":"gran", "microhabitatNiN":"LI_TS5 Levende vedaktige planter", "microhabitatRemark":"på tynne greiner av gran"}

Maybe habitatRemark could also go in habitat? Note occurrence core data do have this field available as well, although it gets put under 'Event', e.g. https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/3336097301

Both NiN habitat and DwC habitat would appropriately (always) be a description of the Event (intersection of Location and temporal context of the visit to the Location) -- and not really (ever) of the actual species Occurrence (intersection of the observed Organism and the Event). So for habitat to be listed under the category Event is absolutely all fine, I assume?

One problem of the DwC-Archive is that the data records in the COREs are not describing ONLY the CORE entity (here the Occurrence), but rather sort of "describing" a "Simple Darwin Core" data-record, which is a normalized data record mixing in descriptions of many different objects ;-) This is simply how DwC-A works and I see no formal issue of habitat inferred as a property of the Event category when presented in the GBIF portal :-D
