@pzermoglio and @tucotuco have been involved in the development of the vocabularies and testing of the GBIF vocabulary service as a viable solution to the call for a platform for community-vetted vocabularies motivated by the TDWG Biodiversity Data Quality Task Group 4 on Vocabularies of Values, which @pzermoglio convenes.

Hi @debpaul โ GBIF currently interpret verbatim data to fit some enumerations we have. All of that is handled in the code.
We are working on shifting from our old enums to vocabularies to better interpret the huge variation of verbatim values for some of the fields and to make the whole process more flexible. At the moment it is solely an internal exercise.
However, we are not applying any major changes to (e.g., adding a bunch of new concepts) and we stick to DwC. My plan is to present the vocabulary work for next years TDWG, so thatโs the link so far
from dwc-qa.
Life stage and sex are two distinct fields in DwC that should not be intermixed.
In other cases, we have a total number of individuals and know that there are male and females in a sample, but not the specific number of each one, so it is not possible to divide the record in two and keep the same information in individualCount, because it will be incorrect.
GBIF are currently working on a controlled sex vocabulary where the concept 'mixed' will be an option and such data can be captured. It is not yet implemented, though. The 'mixed' term is currently not an option for lifeStage so the bulk samples would need to be separated into individual occurrence records as mentioned previously.

Please @CecSve @tucotuco @timrobertson100 @baskaufs is this controlled sex vocabulary work linked to TDWG?
from dwc-qa.
I'm not aware that it has any official connection to TDWG at this point.
