@timrobertson100 I am wondering if GBIF populate occurrence fields based on information in MeasurementOrFact extension? If there is, do you mind to please link the documentation/related issues here? Thank you so much!!
Thanks @ymgan
At GBIF we don't pull anything in today. However, we do have some code to extract sex and lifestage from dwc:dynamicProperties
.
We ported the extraction of some measurements from the VertNet implementation to Java - e.g. extracting length - but this raised many questions, and we haven't moved it into our production processes. You'll find other parsers we ported but don't yet use here.
Edited to add: we're interested to see where you may take this, and looking to learn from you. Our plans aren't really clear.
In several discussions (e.g. https://github.com/nvs-vocabs/OBISVocabs/issues/15) the suggestion has come up that we could populate occurrence fields based on information in the MeasurementOrFact extension.
Possible target fields include:
Populating these terms would require a mapping between the NVS and the Darwin Core terms.
I'm not aware of any existing QC flags for values amended based on extension records.
