effortCalculationProtocol - Need general discussion

[yanisica]

During first round of review we considered keeping this as a HC term.

Peter Brenton raised a question regarding the usefullness to keep it separate from samplingProtocol. See more info here on HC - PPSR mapping here

Field	Value
HC term name	effortCalculationProtocol
DwC-style term name	effortCalculationProtocol
HC description (HC original definition)	If calculated, what data and what method were used to determine assessment of effort?
Definition	A description of or reference to (publication, URI) the method or rationale used to determine the sampling effort.
Comments	The sampling effort may be originally reported or inferred.
Examples	'summed from reporting of hours', 'summed time trawled'
References

Note that HC description and Definition may be the same if no changes are suggested for the term. If changes are suggested, Definition will change but HC description should remain unaltered for reference.

If deemed worth keeping this concept, here is a provisional definition following the Darwin Core model.

"The name of, reference to, or description of the method or protocol used to calculate the samplingEffort."

[yanisica]

After many rounds of discussion, we landed on this definition and term name:

• term_localName = samplingEffortProtocol
• label = Sampling Effort Protocol
• definition = A description of or reference to (publication or URL) the method(s) used to determine the sampling effort.
• comments = This description should be associated with reporting of eco:samplingEffortValue and eco:samplingEffortUnit. This is a specialization of eco:protocolDescription focused on the effort as distinct from the survey method itself. The effort relates to the intensity of sampling and therefore can assist in interpreting measures of completeness.

The term eco:samplingEffortProtocol was included in the Extension proposal.
