Dataset Title

UVicFish_OBIS

Describe your dataset and any specific challenges or blockers you have or anticipate.

For eventDate, I am using the date of collection or date of death/catch. Is this the proper use of the term?

Info about "raw" Data Files.

Yes, that is the correct usage of eventDate.

For more detailed reporting about fossils, there are geologicalContext terms and the Chronometric Age extension to Darwin Core.

Let me know if you need any other help with this! I've worked with publishing zooarchaeological datasets before. :)

Thanks for your help. This dataset is a modern skeletal fish collection used for archaeological ID so all event dates are within the past 50years

My occurrence file is complete, just working on my MoF extension. Emailed Maria to get access to publish. Thanks for all the help!

@cornthwaitem are you the Maria referenced above? Any movement on this or ways I can support?

@sformel-usgs thanks for tagging me. Kathryn did send an email to the OBIS Canada mailbox which I missed - I have now created an account on the IPT as requested. (Normally that would be because I neglected to check that mailbox, but this time it seems to have hidden the message away somewhere!)
