Create proper use case for NINA

[lcoram]

Most likely on insect biodiversity data.

Notes

Data

• Biodiversity observation data: species occurrences in space and time
• Space: lat/long (point), polygon (with depth/height), transect (linear / line), quadrat (polygon)
• Lakes, sky… animals do not just exist on the ground.
• Time: Start & end time, or just 1 timestamp
• https://dwc.tdwg.org/

Data is somewhat hierarchical, but maybe follows more of a network: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_schema). How to make the data interoperable, different sources and types of data to search at once.

User questions

• Improve ways to match different types of data (e.g., NINA data with MET data)
• Occurrences of species X in polygon Y over time Z. + other data (weather)
• Quality control (gps coordinates from collars on animals)
