Hi Roy,
Don't get me wrong. I am supportive. My email was from one traveler to another,
letting Alessandra know what was on the road ahead.
I have argued in the past in favor of having chemicals be a separate
variable/dimension. And I still think it would be a good idea. Hence, I would
suppor
Dear All,
I am considering setting up a Trac ticket aimed at making the following changes
to the standard
1) Addition of a section on handling biological data in CF
2) Addition of a couple of parameter attributes for taxon name and taxon
identifier (e.g. Aphia ID)
3) Proposing a set of generi
Dear All,
The standard name table was updated earlier today with the list of changes
detailed below. The current version of the table is now version 23, dated 23
March 2013. The changes have also been published on the NERC vocabulary server.
John Maurer and Andreas Hilboll have been added to
Dear all
I agree with Philip that cfu should be spelled out. I was also going to make
the same point about Roy's proposal being different from our treatment of
chemical species, which are encoded in the standard name; this system seems to
be working. One reason for keeping this approach was the "g

Thanks Jonathan,
I was indeed responsible for introducing 'green dogs' to discussions in CF, but
since then my experience has expanded further into biological data and, in
particular, into the world of contaminants in biota through EMODNET and our
work in BODC with the Sea Mammal Research Unit.

Hello,
The summary of CF Metadata Trac tickets has been updated for the 25th
March 2013.
(http://www.met.reading.ac.uk/~david/cf_trac_summary.html). Currently:
27 tickets have been accepted [green]
5 tickets are in active discussion in the last 3 weeks [yellow]
12 tickets are dormant [red]

Dear Roy
I think it would be fine and preferable to use someone else's controlled
vocabulary so long as it has an appropriate format and content and/or we
can define rules for using it in CF.
Best wishes

Hi all -
Species taxonomies are not like chemical vocabularies, in that terms for
organisms change over time. There are some big projects involved in
maintaining these taxonomies, and we probably don't want to commit
to launching a parallel effort.
The ubio project has a decent description of th
I will encourage you to check bio terms in Darwin Core

+1 Nan, great summary
CF should prepare for the day when it needs to interoperate with multiple
authorities, e.g., 2 different species vocabularies. It will not be possible
for one vocabulary to serve all the scientific needs. We are on the right
track here, let's see if we can solve the whol
Hi.
This sounds like a good plan. I think there should be an attribute with a
specific name to carry the taxonomic details. It probably will occur in the
long name as well, but I don't like the idea of making the long name the
"official" repository for that information. It's not my arena, so
Hi folks. I don't know if you received what I sent early about IOOS

If you want to create your own vocab go ahead. we will keep talking to our
self. I think there is now an opportunity to figure out how to talk between
