CETAF Specimen Preview Profile (CSPP)
From CETAF Identifiers Wiki
Revision as of 10:57, 11 June 2020 by Andreas Plank (Talk | contribs) (→ Further Questions and Discussion)
The CSPP is a minimal set of agreed (RDF) collection metadata elements implemented consistently across CETAF organisations (see minutes of the Geneva meeting of the ISTC stable identifier initiative). The purpose of CSPP is to provide a stable resource enabling preview functions in specimen portals. The CSPP is not meant to be comprehensive, which means that Linked Open (collection) Data implementations of CETAF institutions will usually provide much richer metadata with additional RDF-elements.
Contents
CSPP Elements
| CSPP element | Mandatory | RDF resource URI | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| title | yes | http://purl.org/dc/terms/title | Mandatory. Collection may decide themselves on the content of the title element. This could usually be a scientific name (with or without authorship), but it could also contain additional information on collectors and projects for example. |
| kindOfMaterial | no | http://purl.org/dc/terms/type | The nature of the specimen. Example: herbarium sheet, fossil, conserved in alcohol |
| scientificNameCurrent | no | http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/scientificName | The latest full scientific name, with authorship and date information if known. |
| family | no | http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/family | The full scientific name of the family in which the taxon is classified. |
| scientifcNameOriginal | no | http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/previousIdentifications | The original name appearing on the specimen. |
| collectorNumber | no | http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/fieldNumber | An identifier given to the Occurrence at the time it was recorded. Often serves as a link between field notes and an Occurrence record, such as a specimen collector’s number. |
| collectorName | no | http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/recordedBy | A list (concatenated and separated) of names of people, groups, or organizations responsible for recording the original Occurrence. The primary collector or observer, especially one who applies a personal identifier (recordNumber), should be listed first. |
| webscaledImageLink | no | http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/associatedMedia | Link to “nice” webscaled image. |
| latitude | no | http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/decimalLatitude | The geographic latitude (WGS84, in decimal degrees, using the spatial reference system given in geodeticDatum) of the geographic center of a Location. Positive values are north of the Equator, negative values are south of it. Legal values lie between -90 and 90, inclusive. |
| longitude | no | http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/decimalLongitude | The geographic longitude (WGS84, in decimal degrees, using the spatial reference system given in geodeticDatum) of the geographic center of a Location. Positive values are east of the Greenwich Meridian, negative values are west of it. Legal values lie between -180 and 180, inclusive. |
| isoCountry | no | http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/countryCode | The standard (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) code for the country in which the specimen has been collected. Recommended best practice is to use ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 country codes. |
| collectionDate | no | http://purl.org/dc/terms/created | (Iso) date of the gathering event. |
| sourceLink | no | http://purl.org/dc/terms/publisher | URI to a web page with information about the institution/collection/owner responsible for publishing the specimen. |

Additional recommended data terms
| Data Term | RDF resource URI | Notes |
|---|---|---|
dwc:institutionCode |
http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/institutionCode | The name (or acronym) in use by the institution having custody of the object(s) or information referred to in the record. Examples: MVZ, BGBM, CLO, UCMP |
dwc:basisOfRecord |
http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/basisOfRecord | The specific nature of the data record. Comments: Recommended best practice is to use the standard label of one of the Darwin Core classes. Examples: PreservedSpecimen, FossilSpecimen, LivingSpecimen, MaterialSample, Event, HumanObservation, MachineObservation, Taxon, Occurrence |
Conversion into other formats (help for development)
For the purpose of develop the meta data eventually into RDF you can checked your RDF online by https://www.w3.org/RDF/Validator/ or use the command line tools of Apache Jena (jena.apache.org) which provide useful commands to parse, check and convert from one format to another—this can also help for readability.
RDF to TriG Format (CLI: trig) — See TriG Documentation (www.w3.org). This format can be read like sentences with a final dot marking the end of the statements; additional elements are separated by semicolon. (toggle on the right to see hidden content)
To convert it use in CLI turtle --output=trig B100068798-Wiki-Example.rdf > B100068798-Wiki-Example.rdf.trig, if you want to generate RDF from TriG back or have developed your meta data in TriG and want to generate RDF, use trig --output=rdf/xml B100068798-Wiki-Example.rdf.trig
