I’m in hopes we have a sort of “software summit” to gather developers and some of the key users of these software platforms to have a decadal meeting (where have we come in 10 years, where do we want to go). In this meeting, we’d talk about needs / path to integrating TDWG DQ standards into CMS systems, interoperability needed / or opportunities for more interoperability. Example: Agents tables with Wikidata. And, we could move toward (or at least discuss feasibility) “metadata” tables in CMS to reduce the burden of creating, mapping, exporting, updating, publishing these data. This would also have the added benefit of simplifying annual reporting. As you point out @elyw, often this data must be compiled anew each time it’s needed locally, let alone regionally or globally. The Global Aggregated understanding of what we have, is still far from complete, and very difficult to estimate. As we continue to digitize, our estimates will continue to improve.
