@francois in you career, you have direct experience with exactly what @datafixer outlines so clearly. Note his statement “many compilers do not have the necessary knowledge or skills to produce tidy, complete, consistent and Darwin Core-compliant datasets.”
- What other skills would you add to this list?
- This experience is happening at the level of the data publisher. What are your thoughts about where best to address these skillset / knowledge issues? (e.g. at the level of the CMS? undergraduate education? via publishers? in graduate school? workshops?)
- In your post to the Workforce and capacity development thread, you note the need for communities of practice. It would be great to understand and learn from you – where (at what levels) these inclusive communities need to be put in place, and what groups could lead the way.
