TDWG (mostly) thinks about point occurrences
But what about other sources of geographic distribution data and info.?
SPECIES INVENTORY
(and why focus on this type?)

MAP OF LIFE INTEGRATES INVENTORIES WITH OTHER DATA SOURCESTHE PURPLE AREAS ARE FROM CHECKLISTS DOCUMENTING PRESENCE

Fundamental question: How complete was the inventory?
Answers tell us much needed information about….
Absence

Taxon coverage: How well did surveymethod capture groups of interest?
Spatial and habitat coverage: How welldid the survey canvas spatial extent and different habitat types?
Temporal coverage: How well did the surveycover seasonal or even daily range?

Yale-CU Boulder-BioSynC sponsored workshop to develop speciesinventory metadata vocabulary in Spring 2013
GOAL: Documenting completeness and inferring absence
OUTPUTS:1) A draft set of terms (~70) and mappings to other vocabs (EML, Dwc, ENVO, BMDE);2) How terms could be expressed in BCO 3) A formhub form to capture contents based on the form;4) ~20 inventories assayed (with hundreds by end of year)

Species Inventory Metadata – What now?Use these completeness assessments to do better niche modeling
