Identify four more use cases and find people to work on them #13

Open albenson-usgs opened 5 years ago

albenson-usgs commented 5 years ago

We want to keep the momentum going with documenting use cases. At the 2018 TDWG meeting we decided a total of six use cases seemed like a good goal. We have two use cases documented so far. We need to identify four more uses and find people to work on them. These two things probably go hand in hand and it might even make the most sense to identify the right people first and let them determine the use case they are most excited to address.

One use I case I want to work on at some point (for our work at INBO) is camera trap data. We’ll first express our data in CTMS (camera trap metadata standard) and then try to map that to Darwin Core. That mapping should (just like OTN, Movebank) be useful to a wider range of users than just us. But it will be a while before I can tackle this.

I know of someone who has deployed cameras on marine mammals. i'll ask them to share a sample dataset w/ me for classification. we should still find a 'classic' camera trap dataset though, that'll be much more commonly reported.

We have a "classic" camera trap dataset, which we plan to standardize to Darwin Core later this year.

For Camare deployments on mammals I could probably find some Antarctic examples from researcher that are willing to provide data. Are we talking just camera footage or also combined wit accelerometer date and such?

jdpye commented 5 years ago

i mean, eventually the more complicated, the better, but for an example case we probably want just the camera data plus positional information for the moving camera.

Are private projects ok also s use cases? I'm working on a system that picks out bird calls (nocturnal flight calls / nocmig) from audio recordings using AI, which will eventually become machine observations.

Since this is my personal project, I would not publish the data directly as DwC, but can feed it into Finnish Biodiversity Information Facility (where I work), which could then share it to GBIF.

@mikkohei13 I don't see any reason your use case wouldn't fit. Let's add it!
