Dear Roy et al, Thank you for the standard name proposals relating to Trac ticket 99 and the discussion of these. I have added all the proposals to the standard names editor: http://cfeditor.ceda.ac.uk/proposals/1?status=active&namefilter=&proposerfilter=Lowry&descfilter=&unitfilter=&yearfilter=&commentfilter=99&filter+and+display=Filter. Initially I made entries for both biological_taxon_lsid and biological_taxon_identifier and added a note that only one of these will be chosen for publication. The discussion seems to be leaning towards choosing biological_taxon_lsid so I have now marked biological_taxon_identifier as "rejected" and it no longer appears among the active list of proposals. However, I can revive it if necessary. As has been discussed, we can add further standard names in the future if there is a need to support other identifiers besides lsid.
1. biological_taxon_lsid 'The Life Science Identifier (LSID) is a standard URI for a biological taxon. Biological taxon is a name or other label identifying an organism or a group of organisms as belonging to a unit of classification in a hierarchical taxonomy. The LSID is a URN with the syntax "urn:lsid:::[:]". For example, the copepod Calocalanus pavo may be represented by LSIDs "urn:lsid:marinespecies.org:taxname:104669" (based on WoRMS) and "urn:lsid:itis.gov:itis_tsn:85335" (based on ITIS). These URNs may be converted to URLs delivering RDF by prefixing with "http://lsid.tdwg.org/".' Is this okay? Can we regard this as agreed? Regarding the other proposals, apart from minor adjustments to make the definitions consistent with those of existing names, e.g. the text for "number concentration" and for "chlorophyll" I think they are very clear and could be accepted pretty much in the form Roy proposed them. I haven't marked them as accepted in the editor as yet, because that would cause them to be automatically included in the next standard name table update, and I think we should wait until Trac ticket 99 is formally agreed before actually putting the names in the table. However, I think we can regard them as "agreed". For convenience I've listed them in full below. 2. biological_taxon_name "A plain text human-readable label, usually a Latin binomial such as Calanus finmarchicus, applied to a biological taxon. Biological taxon is a name or other label identifying an organism or a group of organisms as belonging to a unit of classification in a hierarchical taxonomy." This name is agreed and will be accepted for publication, pending agreement of CF Trac ticket #99. 3. number_concentration_of_biological_taxon_in_sea_water (m-3) ' "Number concentration" means the number of particles or other specified objects per unit volume. It is used in the construction "number_concentration_of_X_in_Y", where X is a material constituent of Y. Biological taxon is a name or other label identifying an organism or a group of organisms as belonging to a unit of classification in a hierarchical taxonomy. Number concentration of biota is also referred to as "abundance".' This name is agreed and will be accepted for publication, pending agreement of CF Trac ticket #99. 4. mass_concentration_of_biological_taxon_expressed_as_carbon_in_sea_water (kg m-3) 'Mass concentration means mass per unit volume and is used in the construction "mass_concentration_of_X_in_Y", where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical species denoted by X may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase such as"nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". The phrase "expressed_as" is used in the construction "A_expressed_as_B", where B is a chemical constituent of A. It means that the quantity indicated by the standard name is calculated solely with respect to the B contained in A, neglecting all other chemical constituents of A. Mass concentration of biota expressed as carbon is also referred to as "carbon biomass". Biological taxon is a name or other label identifying an organism or a group of organisms as belonging to a unit of classification in a hierarchical taxonomy.' This name is agreed and will be accepted for publication, pending agreement of CF Trac ticket #99. 5. mass_concentration_of_biological_taxon_expressed_as_chlorophyll_in_sea_water (kg m-3) 'Mass concentration means mass per unit volume and is used in the construction "mass_concentration_of_X_in_Y", where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical or biological species denoted by X may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase such as "nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". The phrase "expressed_as" is used in the construction "A_expressed_as_B", where B is a chemical constituent of A. It means that the quantity indicated by the standard name is calculated solely with respect to the B contained in A, neglecting all other chemical constituents of A. Chlorophylls are the green pigments found in most plants, algae and cyanobacteria; their presence is essential for photosynthesis to take place. There are several different forms of chlorophyll that occur naturally. All contain a chlorin ring (chemical formula C20H16N4) which gives the green pigment and a side chain whose structure varies. The naturally occurring forms of chlorophyll contain between 35 and 55 carbon atoms. Biological taxon is a name or other label identifying an organism or a group of organisms as belonging to a unit of classification in a hierarchical taxonomy.' This name is agreed and will be accepted for publication, pending agreement of CF Trac ticket #99. 6. mass_concentration_of_biological_taxon_expressed_as_nitrogen_in_sea_water (kg m-3) 'Mass concentration means mass per unit volume and is used in the construction "mass_concentration_of_X_in_Y", where X is a material constituent of Y.

For oceanographic data my strong recommendation would be that WoRMS be the first port of call because as your colleagues rightly state the coverage for marine organisms is so much better. In this case, the LSID is built from the AphiaID, which should be familiar to your colleagues, by adding a simple fixed prefix. As I explained to John Graybeal if identifiers that aren't encodable into LSIDs are required then we simply need to add another Standard Name for the taxon dimension. Regarding your other point, I am following the model set up by the EurOBIS community for encoding biological oceanographic data into SeaDataNet, based on the Darwin Core format. In this the 'metadata' parameters you mention are split between the taxon dimension (gender, stage) and the 'time' (i.e. sample) dimension (size, size minimum, size maximum, number in sample, etc., etc.). All that is needed to fit them into what I'm proposing is the creation of appropriate Standard Names. However, the CF standard practice is not to set up Standard Names until the need arises - i.e. somebody wants to actually encode a plankton survey into CF NetCDF. My crystal ball tells me this pressure will come before too long from SeaDataNet/SeaDataCloud. Cheers, Roy. Please note that I partially retired on 01/11/2015.

Some researchers at IOW do quite detailed Phyto- and Zooplankton surveys and also some other "life form" surveys in the Baltic Sea. Therefore, our data management people have some experience in the requirements of this field of research. They would favor a concept which is expendable by further data bases. ITIS seems to lack a lot of marine species living in the Baltic Sea. At least in the past it seemed to be focused on North American waters. WoRMS seems to include most of them. The German Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency also seems to require WoRMS IDs when my colleagues submit data to them. Maybe there are specific databases for Australian or Chinese marine regions ... . They don't have experience with LSIDs and did not comment on that. The life stage (not sure, if this is the correct English word) and the size class are parameters, which are recorded in our plankton abundance surveys. The biomass is often estimated by the product "abundance" times "size-class-and-region-depending factor". Therefore, size class seems to be relevant meta data. Different researcher communities and in different regions seem to have different size categorizations. If we look into fish, the life stage and maybe also the gender are important parameters. The life stage and size class are probably important also for modelers. Therefore, we could consider to include attributes (or further variables?) like 'size class', 'gender' and 'life stage'.

LSIDs backed by the WoRMS and ITIS taxonomies cover the biological oceanography use cases known to me. Should use cases within the sphere of CF with the need for additional identifiers come along, we can accommodate these through the straightforward mechanism of Standard Name creation. Remember Standard Name creation is on a 'current needs' basis, not setting up to cover possible future needs. Note the initial solution is designed to be semantically verifiable through cross-checking the name against the identifier, so having a single 'identifier' that can take many forms would not be helpful.

Because I have been in at least one (biomedical) meeting in the last year where LSIDs have been dismissed as not good solutions for that community's purposes, and because I know there are multiple taxonomy classification systems *and* multiple taxonomy identifier systems, I would not support *only* allowing an LSID identifier. I think that is inappropriately restrictive. (For those who wonder, I assure you there are biomedical applications throughout environmental science, and plenty of earth science applications using biomedical resources and identifiers. So I think this data point is applicable.) The way I think about it is that there should be an identifier for the taxon that is at a minimum globally unique. And, if at all possible that identifier (as is) should be resolvable using standard DNS resolution. As described, an LSID URN by itself is not resolvable, but requires an additional prefix. (And in some cases some unpleasant escape sequences, but technology adoption will slowly overcome that part.) So I would support one of the following options: * biological_taxon_identifier by itself, defined as a globally unique and resolvable (_as is_) identifier (LSIDs would have to be entered using a resolvable form) * biological_taxon_identifier by itself, recognizing that some identifiers may not be resolvable as is (which makes the whole solution less automatically computable) * biological_taxon_identifier (either of the above) plus biological_taxon_lsid - that is, provide both options, the user can specify one or both. This way the LSID fans can specify the identifier in their terms, and those with a more expansive identifier palette can use their identifier of choice. Semantic resolution, if not immediately available using existing mappings, can be achieved as needed through additional post hoc mappings, consistent with best semantic web practices. In that vein, I would propose a different definition for the biological_taxon_identifier. I am adding that it has to be globally unique, and subtracting that it is opaque (because that is a best practice for many situations, but not all), but also not using the word label, because that implies semantic meaning to me. I specify IRI rather than URI because I understand that is the modern form. I am also not favoring LSID in the definition based on my historical and present understanding that these are not universally accepted in all communities (it is conceivable this is no longer true, despite the cited case above); because IMHO the identifier should be an IRI in the first place; and because we can specifically offer an LSID identifier as well. Finally, I am open to the existence of biologically classification system that are not hierarchical. So: "A globally unique string, most usefully an IRI that resolves to an authoritative information source, referencing a specific biological taxon. Biological taxon is a defined entity representing an organism or a group of organisms as a (typically hierarchical) unit of biological classification." This is pretty radically different than what has been proposed, and my knowledge in the taxonomic classification space is much more from a technical perspective, not scientifically authoritative at all. So if I'm the only one concerned on these points, I'll get out of the way. Even though I am pretty firmly convinced of the importance of using unambiguously semantically interoperable and resolvable identifiers, and of the extensive use of non-LSID taxonomic identifiers (search 'organism' in BioPortal to find both good and bad examples of this).

Sent: 16 April 2018 11:09 To: Daniel Neumann Subject: Re: [CF-metadata] Standard Names to support Trac ticket 99 Thanks Daniel, To clarify LSID isn't a database, it's an identifier for an organism that neatly brings together multiple taxonomies under the single umbrella of the Catalogue of Life project. It also resolves, actually in multiple ways, into a URL that then provides access into a database providing information on that organism. We came to the conclusion that we should use LSIDs in CF in the first round of discussions on Trac 99. My quandary is not whether we should use them, but whether the Standard Name should specify 'lsid' or just 'identifier'. 'Identifier' is what we discussed, but 'lsid' opens the door for future Standard Names based on other governances should there be a need to deal with entities not covered by lsids. I'm aware of one possible issue related to coccoliths plus the possibility of dealing with organism parts (e.g. cod livers). Cheers, Roy. Please note that I partially retired on 01/11/2015.
