Sorry about that. We had a ton of spam at some point. Perhaps we should allow richer markdown again, we do not get any spam these days.
This is a very nice idea.
A few opportunities that might help implementation:
I think outside of Europe polygon-based global grids could be a good choice. https://www.discreteglobalgrids.org/
I have already been using them with some success on aggregating GBIF occurrence data. https://github.com/jhnwllr/gbif_shapefile_geocoder
I had similar thoughts to @jhnwllr that it would be good to allow the user to choose the gridding scheme (e.g. Google S2, UTM-based etc)
True, but I suspect we need both. The vast majority of people are still working with squares, and all the modelling software is expecting squares. However, for global modelling we do need to start moving towards polygons, so we should start to support them.
Nice! Can you screenshot an example of such a DGG? I can’t see one on the website.
Not on gbif.org. I meant like here https://data-blog.gbif.org/post/exploring-es50-for-gbif/
Aha, so DGGs are ways to divide the earth in equal-sized areas. And those gridding schemes can be referenced. Yes, that would be a good option to offer, in addition to widely used traditional grids like EEA's.
Offer occurrence cubes as data product
We just published a preprint (Oldoni et al. 2020) describing a method
We are currently producing these cubes ourselves from GBIF downloads (code is open and referenced in the links below) and publishing the data on Zenodo:
But it would be great if these could be directly offered as a data product by GBIF (with some limited aggregation options, such as by taxonKey or speciesKey, which reference grid to use, etc.) and then also be referenced by their DOI, just like regular GBIF downloads.
@timrobertson100 suggested to add this idea here in this portal-feedback repo once our preprint is out. We are planning to submit a paper for peer review later this year, but I wanted to get the conversation starting already. Also pinging co-authors @damianooldoni and @qgroom
