Exercise 2

Data capture

The BIISC is now planning to make all of the data from the project publicly available by publishing datasets to GBIF. As the BIISC’s Outreach Assistant, you must identify the relevant Darwin Core fields to accommodate the data from the online form. You’ve noticed that additional data describing species and locations have been added to the data form by the graduate students performing validations. To accommodate this data, you need to extend the data structure to aggregate the data from the online form with the added taxonomy and georeferences.

  1. Download UC2-IS-2-ForCapture.csv. (7.1 MB)

  2. Using the downloaded dataset, produce a spreadsheet as example of the extended data structure and the fields you’ve identified as relevant for Darwin Core.

  3. Use the exercise sheet to provide your answers and submit the spreadsheet.
