Some comments emailed in by Arthur:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. In the Recommendations, I think there separate Recommendation on the
|
||
|
|
consistent naming of TDWG Standards. It is mentioned under 4.9.1, but this
|
||
|
|
is a very important issue that I believe needs separating out. We obviously
|
||
|
|
need to develop a naming convention/standard.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Another recommendation: I sent Lee some time back an example of a
|
||
|
|
pseudo-standards organisation that included in its documentation a section
|
||
|
|
on "Who the standard is aimed at". I can't find that reference at the
|
||
|
|
moment. "Museum Curators" etc. I think this is a very good idea and would
|
||
|
|
recommend it in the documentation as a mandatory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Recommendation 4.6.2. Why "US English"? I think you need to add some
|
||
|
|
justification in your justification statement.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Recommendation 4.9.5. I think it is worth also including here "How the
|
||
|
|
Standard should be cited" It is often very difficult to find out how to
|
||
|
|
cite /reference a particular standard (and books sometimes). It is easily
|
||
|
|
solved by adding a one line "This Standard is to be cited as: ...." near the
|
||
|
|
Copyright statement.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Appendix A
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a. Botanical Periodicals I believe is now also available as a searchable
|
||
|
|
on-line database (TDWG has not discussed though). There was something on
|
||
|
|
TAXACOM about this some time back.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
b. HISPID - there is now a Version 4. I don't believe that this version has
|
||
|
|
been submitted as a TDWG Standard.

||
|
|
|
||

Conn, B.J. (ed.) 2000. HISPID4. Herbarium Information Standards and
|
||
|
|
Protocols for Interchange of Data. Version 4 - Internet only version.
