Note the example dataset now includes an individuals
resource, but only to showcase that it is possible to include non Camtrap DP resources in a Camtrap DP dataset (as long as they don't use the reserved names deployments

individual_id
in observations allows to indicate repeat viewings of individuals, but apart from the sex and the life_stage (at the time) no further information (like other tag numbers) can be provided. Information on recognizable/marked individuals that did were not observed by the camera traps cannot be shared either.To share this information, we could consider adding an extra file
individuals.csv
, where further information regarding recognizable/marked individuals can be shared. Fields could be:individual_id
scientific_name
life_stage
: debatable since it can change over timesex
: not likely to change for camera trap observed speciesother_identifiers
: e.g.ring_number:HR456; movebank_id:894

But I think this needs further community feedback before we can decide if and how this should be part of the standard.
