OscarDore commented 8 years ago

Dear Tim I would like you to help to define the main columns tittles (Darwin Core Terms) we would need for the checklist.

timadriaens commented 8 years ago

no problem, only I am not familiar with darwin core terms...

timadriaens commented 8 years ago

so enlighten me... we need to make a list of the ones that would be appliccable, we better stick to the GRIIS vocabulary of terms as closely as we can

The terms used in WRIMS are a good start in my opinion:

term example

Reference Kerckhof, F.; Cattrijsse, A. (2001). Exotic Cirripedia (Balanomorpha) from buoys off the Belgian coast. Senckenbergiana maritima. 31: 245-254.

The page for this taxon also includes taxonomic details (accepted, etc.) and that the species arrived via shipping. That information is missing from our dataset though. @timadriaens, do we need this?

peterdesmet commented 8 years ago

@timadriaens, if you prefer to use the GRIIS vocabulary, can you post a reference here?
