Links are given to controlled vocabulary and international standards. The list is based on the [[https://www.tdwg.org/standards/abcd/|ABCD TDWG standard]] and the [[https://gfbio.biowikifarm.net/internal/ABCD_Consensus_Document_for_GFBio_DIPs|GFBio ABCD Consensus Document]]. * **mandatory** - bold text * //highly recommended// - italic text * recommended/optional - plain text ===== Metadata for entire data set ===== * **[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:DataSet-Title|Title]]** - A short, concise title of the whole data set (e.g. title of project or publication) * **[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:DataSet-Description-Details|Description]]** - Longer description of the project (e.g. the Abstract) * **[[https://schema.datacite.org/meta/kernel-4.3/|Author/Creator]]** - The main researcher involved in producing the data (e.g. PI) or the author of the publication. * **[[https://schema.datacite.org/meta/kernel-4.3/|Name]]** * E-Mail * Affiliation * **[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:ContentContact|ContentContact]]** - Person, who can answer questions and feedback about data or restriction on use of the data. This contact normally represents supplier or custodian of the dataset. * **[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:ContentContact-Name|Name]]** - Name of content/administrative person * [[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:ContentContact-Email|E-Mail]] * [[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:ContentContact-Address|Affiliation]] * //[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:DataSet-Owner|Owner]]// - Entity (Person or Organisation) having legal possession of the data collection content (for entire data set, not for individual units). * //[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:DataSet-Owner-Organisation-Text|Organisation]]// * //[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:DataSet-Owner-FullName|Name]]// * [[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:DataSet-Owner-EmailAddresses|Email]] * **[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:DataSet-License-Text|License]]** - The license is a contract between the person or institution publishing and the subsequent user, which regulates the conditions of the subsequent use. We recommend public licenses (e.g. CC BY-SA 4.0). * //[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:DataSet-TermsOfUseStatement-Text|Terms of use]]// - Defines conditions under which the data may be analised, distributed or changed. (see: [[terms_of_use|Terms of Use of LIB Data Center]]) Author/Creator, Content contact and owner can be one and the same person or two or three different. ===== Data and metadata for each unit ===== ==== Record identifier ==== * **[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:SourceInstitutionID|Source institution]]** - Unique identifier (code or name) of the institution holding the original data source (in doubt = owner organisation). Used as first part of record identifier. * **[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:SourceID|Source of record]]** - Name or code of the data source within the source institution (unique within the institution; e.g. collection name, short dataset name). Used as second part of record identifier. * **[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:UnitID|Unit identifier]]** - A unique identifier for the unit within the data source (e.g. collection number, barcode). Used as third part of record identifier. * **[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:RecordBasis|Record Basis]]** - A term indicating what the unit record represents (e.g. Preserved Specimen), using [[https://gfbio.biowikifarm.net/wiki/RecordBasis|controlled vocabulary]]. ==== Taxon Identification ==== * //[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:TaxonIdentified-FullScientificNameString|Scientific taxon name]]// - Name of identified taxon according to Code of Nomenclature. * **[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:TaxonIdentified-HigherTaxonName|Higher taxon name]]** - The scientific name of a taxon with a rank higher than Genus which is commonly used to classify the group the unit belongs to, using [[https://gfbio.biowikifarm.net/wiki/Kingdom|controlled vocabulary]]. * **[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:TaxonIdentified-HigherTaxonRank|Higher taxon rank]]** - The taxonomic rank of the higher taxon, preferred: kingdom. ==== Gathering information ==== All information about the occurrence of the unit. * [[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:Gathering-LocalityText|Locality]] - Information on collecting/recording location * [[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:Gathering-Country-Name|Country]] - Name of country of location (if continental locality) * [[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:Gathering-NamedArea-AreaName|Named area]] - Name of marine area or for geographic, geomorphological, geoecological or administrative areas * //[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:Gathering-LongitudeDecimal|Site longitude]]// - Longitude expressed in decimal degrees (WGS84 format) * //[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:Gathering-LatitudeDecimal|Site latitude]]// - Latitude expressed in decimal degrees (WGS84 format) * //[[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:Identification-ISODateTimeBegin|Date]]// - Date of the collecting or observation event (in format yyyy-mm-dd) * [[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:Gathering-AgentText|Gathering agent]] - responsible person for collecting/recording (if fieldNr. mandatory) * [[https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/abcd2:CollectorsFieldNumber|Collector's field number]] - original identifier assigned by collector/observer; if available, but only with gathering agent ==== Measurements and Facts ==== In measurements or facts information about measurements (e.g. length, temperature) is provided.
