2013 hackathon data elements: Difference between revisions

Given the discussion from the broader community, it may also be that we change our minds with respect to what belongs in categories above. For now, those fields above should be seen as the ones of general interest and we can be flexible and discuss our evaluation strategy further with regard to primary / secondary / last. Participants may decide what is more important. It's clear that who is using the data and for what purpose drives which fields are seen as of greater value. If you are trying to find duplicate voucher records, the "who" is very important. If you are an ecologist looking for evidence of an organism in nature, you are more interested in the "where" fields and not so much interested in who collected the physical object as a voucher.
