Yes, that is the correct usage of eventDate.
For more detailed reporting about fossils, there are geologicalContext terms and the Chronometric Age extension to Darwin Core.
Let me know if you need any other help with this! I've worked with publishing zooarchaeological datasets before. :)
Thanks for your help. This dataset is a modern skeletal fish collection used for archaeological ID so all event dates are within the past 50years
My occurrence file is complete, just working on my MoF extension. Emailed Maria to get access to publish. Thanks for all the help!
@cornthwaitem are you the Maria referenced above? Any movement on this or ways I can support?
@sformel-usgs thanks for tagging me. Kathryn did send an email to the OBIS Canada mailbox which I missed - I have now created an account on the IPT as requested. (Normally that would be because I neglected to check that mailbox, but this time it seems to have hidden the message away somewhere!)
Thank you for identifying this dataset for mobilization. The workshop hosts wanted to check in. Is there anything you need help with in order to mobilize this dataset to OBIS? If you would like assistance from an OBIS node you can find node contacts listed here.
@mckenziekatee were you able to publish this?
Hi Stephen, thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately this project is at a standstill due to a gap in funding but is very close to being ready for publication. I will try to finish it off the side of my desk before the new year if time allows. On a separate but related note, I am interested in whether there are any clearer guidelines on incorporating Local Contexts (LC) specifically into GBIF and OBIS datasets? I've read the issue posts (https://github.com/gbif/hosted-portals/issues/272) from 2023 but can't find much else more current. I'm part of the FAIR + CARE Cultural Heritage Network (https://alexandriaarchive.org/fair-care/#:~:text=The%20FAIR%2BCARE%20Cultural%20Heritage%20Network%20established%20by%20this%20project,%2C%20divisional%2C%20and%20geographic%20boundaries.) working group that is seeking solutions to posting Notices and Labels. The larger dataset, which this proposed OBIS dataset is derived from, is published in GBIF (https://www.gbif.org/dataset/5b11525e-c116-48a0-956f-4147ecd97237) using the dynamicProperties field to link the LC project. Has there been any more discussion about developing a dwc field such as culturalRight or something similar?
Just chiming in here that this (https://www.gbif.org/dataset/30595b72-0016-42cf-a1b5-afa6a2474cba) is what we did to share context information for some zooarchaeological specimens I helped to publish from the Florida Museum of Natural History. We included a link to OpenContext in locationID
. We did put some other context information in using dynamicProperties
. We used a key value pair JSON format so it could be retrieved from the data easily if there were future improvements for how to share zooarch data in DwC.
For your Local Contexts link, you could look at putting it in rightsHolder
or accessRights
instead?
Here are some related conversations/presentations I was able to find:
https://github.com/localcontexts/localcontexts-metadata/discussions/2 (mentions accessRights
)
https://divseekintl.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/C3_Jane-Anderson-Maui-HudsonLocal-Contexts-DivSeek22.pdf (this mentions mapping to rightsHolder
but engaging further to make more comprehensive updates to DwC)

Dataset Title
UVicFish_OBIS
Describe your dataset and any specific challenges or blockers you have or anticipate.
For eventDate, I am using the date of collection or date of death/catch. Is this the proper use of the term?
