Records with interactions

[seltmann]

@jhpoelen 4 of the records in this specimen occurrence dataset have explicit species interactions now. The interaction "eats: Homo sapiens" is in the dwc:AssociatedTaxa field and further details are in dwc:DynamicProperties. It is not in proper json format (just key:value) because it was hand entered into this field (rather than produced by Symbiota or some application.

targetTaxonName: Homo sapiens; targetTaxonId: https://www.gbif.org/species/2436436; interactionTypeName: eats; interactionTypeId: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/RO_0002470; targetBodyPartName: blood; targetBodyPartId: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/NCIT_C12434

Possible to get these records into GloBI? They all contain locality information as well. Also, if you have suggestions on the format of the entry into the fields let me know.

Anything structured can get into GloBI!

Before I make this work, I was wondering whether you considered using the Relationship Extension as suggested in https://www.globalbioticinteractions.org/2018/08/16/models-in-fashion/#darwin-core-archive--uredinales-of-belgium-flavor ?

Also see https://trias-project.github.io/uredinales-belgium-checklist with active discussion here: trias-project/uredinales-belgium-checklist#8 .

I have not, but it would be something to explore as part of the proposed modifications of exporting data from Symbiota.

This archive was produced by using already available Symbiota data fields (solution for now), without any transformation after the archive is produced. Basically the dwc:dynamicProperties field and dwc:asscoiatedTaxa fields are editable by users adding specimen data to Symbiota at the present time.

Maybe I missed something obvious? https://appear.in/cheadlecenter

@seltmann Yesterday, I've created a first pass at "native" DwC-A and EML support for GloBI. Existing datasets already used DwC-A, but the new support no longer needs the globi.json meta data, because the needed information is extracted from eml.xml and meta.xml files.

I've included the support in Elton, a tool that support the automated peer-reviews to keep track our progress. See https://travis-ci.org/ParasiteTracker/vampire-moth-dwca/jobs/430153618#L511 .
