Hello,
This is my first post to discourse.gbif.org. A couple of things…
- The API Summary page has a link to the pipermail list. I’m sorry to report, but there is no way I’m subscribing to a mailing list. Most of it is irrelevant. So… the API Summary also needs a link to this Discourse system.
- I’m a beginner at this system so I need help with what may seem obvious to professional bioinformatics people.
- having a different login to Discourse and GBIF is a bit painful. Confuses my password management system. Can you use OAUTH stuff on Discourse too please?
I imagine we beginners would like help with how to navigate your data-model for some basic use-cases. So perhaps a topic that helped with these?
My particular example:
I want to train a convolutional network to recognize species of a particular order from a particular country. For this i need well-identified photos of species of that order as a training dataset.
I imagine that i need to traverse the dataset something like this:
Order -> Species -> filter by geography-> select matching from (occurrences with photos) from well-regarded data-sets.
I’ve done some exercises using Jupyter/Python from the Species section of the API, I want to know how to combine that with the Occurrences section to get to download appropriately tagged images.
I’m not finding worked-examples using Google.
I reckon what I am after could be provided with some support from community and GBIF.
Can all y’all help get this going?
Thanks,
–Peter G
