Our ALA colleagues ask 'What happens if the samplingEffortValue and samplingEffortUnit require multiple values? Eg. “2 hours over 100m2”?'
Comment from YMG: Good point. I have a feeling that this is again related to eMoF https://github.com/gbif/rs.gbif.org/issues/103#issuecomment-1532983566 and https://github.com/gbif/rs.gbif.org/pull/102. Do dwc:sampleSizeValue and dwc:sampleSizeUnit have a similar challenge? If we are to provide recommendation for this, perhaps we should align the practice across other general terms like dwc:sampleSizeValue and dwc:sampleSizeUnit?
Comment from KI: As with other terms where this potential exists, we should recommend using pipe separators, |, where multiple values exist. It would also be prudent to include in the comments/examples that it is recommended that data providers populate dwc:samplingEffort (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/samplingEffort) with verbatim sampling effort information.
New term
Submitter: Humboldt Extension Task Group
Efficacy Justification (why is this term necessary?): Part of a package of terms in support of biological inventory data.
Demand Justification (name at least two organizations that independently need this term): The Humboldt Extension Task Group proposing this term consists of numerous organizations.
Stability Justification (what concerns are there that this might affect existing implementations?): None
Implications for dwciri: namespace (does this change affect a dwciri term version)?: Needs ecoiri: equivalent. Proposed attributes of the new term:
Term name (in lowerCamelCase for properties, UpperCamelCase for classes): samplingEffortValue
Term label (English, not normative): Sampling Effort Value
Organized in Class (e.g., Occurrence, Event, Location, Taxon): Event
Definition of the term (normative): The numeric value for the sampling effort expended during the dwc:Event.
Usage comments (recommendations regarding content, etc., not normative): This term is meant to capture the total sampling effort value. To express details of how the effort was determined use eco:samplingEffortProtocol. For compilations it is recommend not to infer effort. An eco:samplingEffortValue must have a corresponding eco:samplingEffortUnit.
Examples (not normative):
1900
;40
;5.5
Refines (identifier of the broader term this term refines; normative): None
Replaces (identifier of the existing term that would be deprecated and replaced by this term; normative): None
ABCD 2.06 (XPATH of the equivalent term in ABCD or EFG; not normative): not in ABCD
