Up to Help!structuring discussions
Posted by Rick Condit at December 05. 2008Here are ideas for discussion points
1) In merging and presenting data from several sources, how much error-correction should be done? At one extreme, GBIF assembles data with little checking. We can just serve back whatever we get without checking species names or locations for errors.
2) Should we work toward a data warehouse housing all the plot data from several projects in a single location? Meaning every measurement of every tree or whatever other plants happen to be counted.
3) Should we work toward a plot data management system? Who would use it?
