At the SDD meeting in Christchurch we discussed possible names for the section containing proxy objects (with minimal Label/Link or with extended interface data). The previous name <nop>ExternalDataInterface was repeatedly critized, esp. in that "External" is misleading!
|
|
|
|
The element containing these data is part of the TopLevelStructure of GBIF, ie. an element name immediately within Dataset. The section serves as a container for replacement proxy objects where no external data exist, and for caching / interface proxies where linking information is available. It is limited to general, non-descriptive domains like Agents, Publications, Geographical Locations, Class names, Class hierarchy, Specimen lists, etc.

We should consider, that other purposes may want to have descriptive objects as proxies.
|
|
|
|
Proposals were:
|
|
* <nop>BaseData
|
|
* <nop>ProxyData
|
|
* <nop>ReferenceData
|
|
* <nop>SurrogateData (but negative connotation)
|
|
* <nop>AlternateData
|
|
* <nop>Resources
|
|
* <nop>AbstractedObjects
|
|
|
|
My current preference is to use either <nop>ProxyData or Resources. Please comment or simple vote on your preference!
