How to describe target species? #41
Comments
In GitLab by @kbubnicki on Nov 30, 2020, 11:09 If I understand you correctly you would like to preserve the information about "real zeros" i.e. not recorded species confirmed before to be present in the study area, right? Very good point I would say, but I am not convinced that this should be mixed with the idea of |
In GitLab by @peterdesmet on Nov 30, 2020, 16:30 Ok to keep taxonomic coverage to only those taxa that are included in dataset. 👍 Target species can be mentioned in dataset description anyway. Fine to close this issue. |

In GitLab by @peterdesmet on Nov 30, 2020, 17:51 Ok, but best to update the title of this issue then |
In GitLab by @peterdesmet on Dec 1, 2020, 12:55 changed title from {-Broaden scope of taxonomic coverage to include target species-} to {+How to describe target species?+} |
In GitLab by @kbubnicki on Dec 1, 2020, 15:09 Perfect! |
Picking this one up again. Taxonomic scope is intended to list all species in the observations, but that doesn't really tell us much regarding:
I think the latter one is quite difficult to standardize and for publishers to assess at project level. The target species however could be indicated by adding an optional property {

I agree with you @peterdesmet: it's something to be specified in the taxonomic coverage (metadata) and can be indeed picked up by a package like camtraptor while reading this information from the camtrap datapackage. Indeed, something we do already with some other fields like vernacular names. |
Discussed with @kbubnicki. The problem with adding a

This issue pivoted to a discussion on how to indicate target species
The current definition of taxonomic coverage is:
Could this be broadened to allow the inclusion of species that were available for determination (e.g. in a project defined species list) or were considered target species, but did not result in observations? Or should we consider another way to allow the inclusion of target species?
