NTR: Size of biological entity specified elsewhere (BODCNVS-989) #65
Comments
@meliezer Thanks you for your request. Yes "Size category" is good. I think that if the result of this P01 is intended to be a S09 concept then we should specify it otherwise there is a risk of users using this term for any free-text information. Would you agree? i.e. specify S09 as part of the data_proc as we have done for some other P01 codes where the result is intended to be drawn from a specific controlled vocabulary. |
@meliezer the new P01 "Size category of biological entity specified elsewhere" once created, should only be used for situation where biological entities are grouped according to size categories. It should not be used for situation where the result is a real number with a unit of "length". |
@gwemon it's a good question, but I should ask the same for size mentioned in P01 terms related to S09 terms like http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/S09/current/S0921/ |
@meliezer yes that's a very good point your making. The key question here is: are the specific sizes you have in your dataset the result of the observation or are they used to describe the observed object? For example, consider the difference between: "Size of species XX individuals"=15 um and "Abundance of species XX individuals of 15um size range". |
@gwemon The sizes are used to describe the observed object, based on actual measurement. |
Thank you @meliezer Could you send me an example dataset by email where the S09 terms are needed so that I make sure I am answering your question correctly? |
@gwemon sent. Thank you! |
@gwemon I confirm that for my dataset size means length. |
This term request is for having an ID to mention in eMoF of OBIS, but I think it would be useful also for BODV of SeaDataNet.
Initially I thought to add 'category', but I see that the related collection (S09) includes also specific sizes.
P06 would be naturally XXXX since the terms are textual, e.g. 'small'.
