@Daniel-Mietchen didn't see a clear method to resolve catalogNumber to their associated records / metadata. For instance, just mentioning the catalogNumber without a link to their records makes it hard to figure the species name.

Hi @tkuhn -

To prepare for our upcoming nano session next week (see invite below), I figured to share some bee trait measurements made by @seltmann et al. For examples of related bee specimen (and their 3d models!) see https://github.com/Big-Bee-Network/UCSB-IZC00012194 .

For example data published in wide table format, see https://github.com/Big-Bee-Network/trait-intertegular-distance .

If you have some example pre-existing nanopubs related to measurements of some metric of some sample / specimen, please do share. Working from a well curated selection of examples helps me to more quickly come up with representations of the traits in the nanopub-verse. (nano-verse? nanopub world?).

Also, related is #1 where I am hoping to work with @Daniel-Mietchen to bridge into the exciting world of wikidata.

Looking forward to your thoughts and discussion / please feel free to to share this with others.

Upcoming Nano Session invite:

2. Moving from Bench to Dash: Demo of the new online mode of the nanopublishing tool Nanobench / Nanodash and an update on some of the new and planned features. Speaker: Tobias Kuhn, https://www.tkuhn.org/.
3. Discussion
4. Newsdesk: Latest developments and interesting reads. Everybody can share news and links.

About the meetings
The Nano Sessions connect the people who are interested in nanopublications and who want to learn from each other about the related technologies. Every session has two talks, discussion and a news sharing part. Knowledge Pixels hosts the first meetings, but we are happy to let others join and become hosts too. For more information on the Nano Sessions see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-0aImR4bFHmay8j6bSFgIDi9sw01KXdmYw9szyhAWmY/edit#
Do you have someone in mind that could be interested in nanopublications? The meetings are open to everyone and invitations are sent out via https://groups.google.com/g/nanopub-users/

Save the dates
About once a month on Tuesdays at 16:00 CET: 28 March, 18 April, 30 Mai.
Do you want to share some insights, a problem you can’t solve, or a use case you are working on? Drop me a note to get a slot in an upcoming session.

I look forward to seeing you.
With kind regards your host, Philipp

To aid linking of digital images used to measure intertegular distance in Note for Nature, suggest to include the content id (e.g., sha256 hash) of the image in addition to including their filenames. With this content id, we can verify (and retrieve!) the exact image used to measure the trait.

@seltmann curious to hear your thoughts on this, and happy to help build tools to (automatically) calculate the sha256 URIs for images or other digital content.

to clarify reusability.

For data like this, CC0 would seem to be appropriate.

Hi @Daniel-Mietchen ,

@seltmann et al. have prepared some example of intertegular distance measurements. This distance (as described in https://github.com/Big-Bee-Network/trait-intertegular-distance) is a proxy for body size/mass for bees.

I was wondering whether you have any ideas on how to represent this metric in the wiki-verse. . .

Looking forward to our session tomorrow!
