I saw in #286

References: GBIF (2021). Darwin Core Nomenclatural Type Status Vocabulary http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/type_status

so should this also be in the References? https://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/sex.xml

[chicoreus]

Noting that the current GBIF sex vocabulary is very animal centric.

[ArthurChapman]

Thanks @ymgan - added. @chicoreus - agreed

[ymgan]

oh, seems like GBIF is working on the vocabularies for sex at the moment gbif/vocabulary#83

[CecSve]

@ymgan yes, we are updating vocabularies and moving them from enums to the vocabulary server, eventually. This is also the case for Type Status btw. The updates are to improve the mapping of hidden values provided by publishers. The sex vocabulary is very animal centric since most data comes from eBird @chicoreus - but please, if you know of any sources that cover concepts suitable for other groups, then we should be able to include them.

[ArthurChapman]

I have changed this to Immature/Incomplete pending the Vocabulary by GBIF.

[CecSve]

The vocabulary (v1) is now uploaded to the vocabulary server: https://registry.gbif.org/vocabulary/Sex and can be accessed by the vocabulary API (as Marie mentioned): https://techdocs.gbif.org/en/openapi/v1/vocabulary.

[chicoreus]

Grand. I've got an inquiry out with a botanist for sources for richer terms for some of the very complex botanical concepts around sex, but she hasn't gotten sources back yet.

[ymgan]

Similar to what @Tasilee mentioned in #277, #276, seems like GBIF API for Sex vocab is live
https://api.gbif.org/v1/vocabularies/Sex/concepts

[CecSve]

This may not affect your decision but just wanted to highlight that the vocabularies (sex, geodeticdatum, kingdom, month, and taxonrank) are not yet used in interpretation in GBIF. We have to upload a couple more vocabularies before we initiate the process of reinterpretation for all occurrences.

[Tasilee]

Updated Source Authority to reflect new GBIF vocabulary. Does this imply this test could be CORE or Supplementary?

[tucotuco]

Updated Source Authority to reflect new GBIF vocabulary. Does this imply this test could be CORE or Supplementary?

I don't believe that where the vocabulary comes from is a criterion for CORE. It is a separate issue.

[ArthurChapman]

Changed to CORE following updating of GBIF Vocabulary, making a vocabulary available. This was the only reason it was made Immature/Incomplete earlier.

[ArthurChapman]

Note deleted as it referred to Supplementary test which no longer applies

[Tasilee]

Changed Source Authority from

bdq:sourceAuthority default = "Darwin Core sex" {[https://dwc.tdwg.org/list/#dwc_sex]} {dwc:sex vocabulary API [https://api.gbif.org/v1/vocabularies/Sex/concepts]}

to

bdq:sourceAuthority default = "GBIF Sex Vocabulary" [https://api.gbif.org/v1/vocabularies/Sex]} {"dwc:sex vocabulary API" [https://api.gbif.org/v1/vocabularies/Sex/concepts]}
