Line 87 was replaced by line 87

Line 91 was replaced by line 91
- *** ITIS is shallow concepts
+ *** ITIS is shallow/incomplete concepts
Line 102 was replaced by lines 102-133
- * GCE datasets
+ * Manu
+ ** Reconciling datasets
+ *** Why don't datasets match, how to bring them "to the same level"
+ ** Observations
+ *** entities, context, methodology, unit, ..., representation
+ *** e.g., observations of overhunting
+ *** certain "functions" are called: e.g., rescaling, reprojecting, etc.
+ *** how to represent these rules? ...
+ **** A lot of discussion on transformation
+ **** Mark wants to know how to do unit conversion
+
+ * Shawn
+ ** Onto stuff
+
+ * Some datasets
+ ** arc: lgcover2001
+ ** gce: PLT-GCED-0409
+ ** Niwot and Konza sites have data, e.g., that require multiple datasets to create an "integratable" source
+
+
+ * Use case: Reconstructing an Experiment
+ ** Data Request Form:
+ **# Selected Sites with plants with only little or none secondary growth (shrubs) ... Herbacious dominated
+ **# Replicated Plots (to compute means)
+ **# Experimental manipulation of resources
+ **# Species specific abundance in some way
+ **# At first, wanted time series, but then couldn't do it -- chose the most recent year
+
+ * Data integration
+ ** Do a column-by-column merge
+ *** for example r1(A, B) and r2(C, D) creates: r(A, B, C, D)
+ *** or, if you know, e.g., that A and C are similar (e.g., Area), then: r(AC, S, B, D), where S is a lineage column
At line 103 added 4 lines.
