Dear all,
Francisco has encouraged me to share the mapping table between the MCPD [1] and the Darwin Core standard [2] as input to the discussions for week 3 on metadata. When this mapping was developed [3], we started with the Darwin Core and created an extension to include the descriptors from the MCPD not already covered by terms established in the Darwin Core. The mapping has later developed into a SKOS vocabulary of terms [4]. An overview of this mapping (Germplasm Vocabulary) was also presented at the ECPGR Information and documentation network meeting last year [5] (see slide number 27).

I would also like to highlight two other recent developments that I find particular relevant to the discussion for metadata this week. The first activity is championed by Ramona Walls and seeks to develop and ontological anchoring for the Darwin Core terminology [6,7] for specimens such as the genebank accessions, PGRFA. The second activity is the development championed by Steve Baskauf of an ontology for describing relationships between Darwin Core entities [8] and an RDF guide for Darwin Core [9].

Subject: Week 3 - MCPD to DWC mapping - the DwC germplasm extension
Dear Dag,
I think that it is very relevant, for the discussions of week 3 we started today, that we show this mapping table with all the participants (DwC germplasm extension). As it is very much based on your work, I think that it is more appropriate for you to circulate it. Unless you prefer we do it.
Thank you.
Regards,
Francisco
