Frau (@vonderleyen) sollte punkto #wolf Regulierung über der Sache stehen. 7 tote Wölfe für einen elusiven GW950m (Ponykiller), Planung de Änderung Schutzstatus des Wolfs in der @EU_Commission und keinen adäquaten Schutz ihrer Pferde zeugen nicht davon.

@emhaston @rdmpage @JSTORPlants @GBIF @tdwg It'll be up for public review the next round. https://t.co/qMVCEcUokW

@rdmpage @GBIF @JSTORPlants GBIF is actively updated, JSTOR was often dump-populated 10+ years ago. So it's not that surprising. Given how difficult it is to access JSTOR content, it seems more productive to focus on GBIF data and match with taxon name databases for type links.

[Mathias Dillen @MathiasDillen]

@rdmpage @GBIF @JSTORPlants It'll be mainly differences in file compression and dimensions. Rescanning or other changes post publication should be rare. I daresay that the hash method would work for the majority of specimen images. And if not, it would be intriguing to find out exactly why.

[Mathias Dillen @MathiasDillen]

@rdmpage @GBIF @JSTORPlants Reverse image search as a service is not that easy. Easiest could be if GBIF implemented a hash archive for the media references people publish? Wouldn't work for derivative images, but would make it easier to go through the broken id cleanup routine.

@BionomiaTrack @frictionlessd8a We're planning some work on roundtripping from Bionomia in @Bicikl_H2020, so definitely interested in contributing.

@andrawaag @GBIF @rdmpage Calling it occurrence ID is a bit misleading, as these records also have a dwc:occurrenceID that is completely different. These IDs should be more persistent, but they can also change.

[Mathias Dillen @MathiasDillen]

@dpsSpiders @GarretsonAlexis @rdmpage @GBIF @BionomiaTrack @plazi_treat @Bicikl_H2020 @myrmoteras @wikidata @dnnyboy That, but it's also not easy to systematically extract individual specimen citations from literature. They can be anywhere in the documents, in any format.

[Mathias Dillen @MathiasDillen]

@rdmpage @dpsSpiders @GarretsonAlexis @GBIF @BionomiaTrack @plazi_treat @Bicikl_H2020 @myrmoteras @wikidata We've tried this and it works to some extent. A common form of citation includes a taxon name, a coll. code and/or a person (sur)name. Clustering along these lines, w some taxon id/rank wrangling, code regex and fuzzy surnames goes a long way.

On the way to liberate the riches of data and links about specimen, genes hidden in publications, especially tables in #15. Right now an almost complete, frustrating disconnect. https://t.co/Zog11FdYmw #BioHackEU21 #BioHackEU21 @Bicikl_H2020 @ELIXIREurope

Check out my poster at #TDWG2021, made possible by @DisscoFlanders and @Microsoft #AIforEarth Planetary Computer

Can we estimate the completeness of collections with stats and also compare them to the whole of @GBIF ? short answer: yes

[Mathias Dillen @MathiasDillen]

@lj_garcia @ZB_MED @ELIXIREurope @biohackathon Can descriptions/abstracts be up to 200 or 400 words? Guidelines on the BH site and on easychair don't agree.

[Mathias Dillen @MathiasDillen]

@dpsSpiders Data files should be watermarked somehow to indicate if they were ever edited with spreadsheet software.

One thing that may help is to always call the first column in a csv file ID. Excel will neatly refuse to open it. https://t.co/ev0t1aUoDm
