Description

The Monitoring of fishes and crustaceans by Province East Flanders in Flanders, Belgium is an sampling event dataset published by the Province East Flanders (Belgium). The data are collected from targeted monitoring on non-navigable watercourses, from 1985 onwards. Earlier collected data was digitized afterwards, newly collected data is digitized immediately. Only non-threatened species are presented in this dataset. The data are published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive and includes for each occurrence record an occurrenceID, date, location, quantification, length, weight where available and scientific name. Also the physico-chemical parameters of the watercourses at that moment are given when available. Issues with the dataset can be reported at https://github.com/riparias/pov-fishes-occurrences/issues

Method steps

The source data for this standardized occurrence dataset is retrieved from a web feature service (WFS)
This data file was uploaded to a github repository (https://github.com/riparias/pov-fishes-occurrences/blob/main/data/raw/)
We developed a RMarkdown (https://github.com/riparias/pov-fishes-occurrences/blob/main/src/dwc_mapping.Rmd) and SQL (https://github.com/riparias/pov-fishes-occurrences/tree/main/sql) script to document and perform the transformation of the data to Darwin Core,which includes transforming the data to an event core (https://rs.gbif.org/core/dwc_event_2022-02-02.xml), an occurrence extension (https://rs.gbif.org/core/dwc_occurrence_2022-02-02.xml) and a measurement or facts extension (https://rs.gbif.org/extension/dwc/measurements_or_facts_2022-02-02.xml)
The resulting Darwin Core data files are uploaded to the INBO IPT (https://ipt.inbo.be) and documented with metadata.
The dataset is published and registered with GBIF.
