A project we are working with on using SMART for wildlife health data, wants to make it easier to create, maintain and share species information.
Their ideas include:
Creating a tool where you upload a shapefile, then get to download a species tree based on say, the know species from the red list in the area.
Standardizing species tree keys (currently two data models from the same organization could each have the same species but could have created different keys - making reporting harder). The idea here would be to have a way to update a species tree across multiple CAs so they share the same keys
Seeing if there are other “species” attributes that people use (e.g. Unknown)
I’d love to hear if there is interest from any others here
Hi
I’m not sure if you intended to include a list in your message but I can’t see your examples.
We have a number of species list needs for the purpose of standardising across multiple private reserves for their game counts (animal species), bush surveys (tree and bush species) and grass surveys (grass species).
Is that the kind of thing you referred to in item 2 on your original post?
