Transform CR-Birding data to Darwin Core Archive

[sannegovaert]

Initially we planned the following data transformations:

• CR-Birding -> Movebank Transform CR-Birding data to Movebank format #232
• Movebank -> Zenodo
• Zenodo -> GBIF

However, due to the complexity of CR-Birding data and the huge amount of indiviuals per study, we would skip the Movebank and Zenodo steps and do a data transformation straight to Darwin Core, to only publish the data on GBIF.

Dataset-level

• type
• license
• rightsHolder
• datasetID
• institutionCode
• collectionCode
• datasetName

Reference occurrence

• basisOfRecord = "HumanObservation"
• dataGeneralizations: do not include in mapping?
• occurrenceID = paste(
  .data$bird_id, .data$bird_code, "start", sep = "_" # Same as eventID
  )
  • alternative for bird_id: metal ring (cf. GPS) Metal ring information #241
  • bird_code: our tag is a ring, with a colour-ring code
• sex = bird_sex (recoded)
• lifeStage = bird_age_ringing (recoded)
• reproductiveCondition?
• occurrenceStatus = "present"
• organismID = bird_id
• organismName: no direct need, but maybe bird_reference or metal ring?
• eventID: same as occurrenceID
• parentEventID = paste(.data$bird_id, .data$bird_code, sep = "_") # See occurrenceID
• eventType = "ringing"
• eventDate: observation_date + observation_time of capture, see How to map captures? #236
• samplingProtocol = "ringing"
• eventRemarks ?
• minimumElevationInMeters = NA_real_
• maximumElevationInMeters = NA_real_
• locationRemarks = NA_character_
• decimalLatitude: observation_lat of capture
• decimalLongitude: observation_lon of capture
• geodeticDatum ?
• coordinateUncertaintyInMeters ?
• georeferenceSources = NA_character_,
• identificationVerificationStatus
• scientificNameID ?
• scientificName: bird_species (recoded)
  • Decide how to map large gull and gull
• kingdom = "Animalia"

Resighting occurrence

• basisOfRecord = "humanObservation"
• dataGeneralizations: do not include in mapping?
• occurrenceID = observation_id
• sex: little deviation from sex at start, would not include

• reproductiveCondition?
• occurrenceStatus = "present"
• organismID
• organismName
• eventID
• parentEventID
