Uses of Primary Species-Occurrence Data, version 1.0
Uses of Primary Species-Occurrence Data, version 1.0
This paper examines uses for primary species-occurrence data in research, education and in other areas of human endeavour, and provides examples from the literature of many of these uses. The paper examines not only data from labels, or from observational notes, but the data inherent in museum and herbarium collections themselves, which are long-term storage receptacles of information and data that are still largely untouched. Projects include the study of the species and their distributions through both time and space, their use for education, both formal and public, for conservation and scientific research, use in medicine and forensic studies, in natural resource management and climate change, in art, history and recreation, and for social and political use. Uses are many and varied and may well form the basis of much of what we do as people every day.

Thesauri principles and practice
Thesauri principles and practice
Du site W3 : "The main purpose in this paper is to make three points:
. A simple name list without some rules will rapidly become a mess.
. Only three simple rules are needed; using them will make life easier for you, not harder.
. So long as you stick to these rules, you can take an existing thesaurus and adapt it to your needs; you are not limited to using the terms which are listed in it already, and you are not obliged to use more detail than you need."
Principles of Data Quality
Principles of Data Quality
From the introduction : Data quality and error in data are often neglected issues with environmental databases, modelling systems, GIS, decision support systems, etc. Too often, data are used uncritically without consideration of the error contained within, and this can lead to erroneous results, misleading information, unwise environmental decisions and increased costs.

Réseau canadien d'information sur le patrimoine (RCIP), 2006, Liste d'autorité proposée pour la zone Discipline en Sciences humaines (Dérivée de l'Art & Architecture Thesaurus)
Ce document a été préparé à partir du rapport de recherche produit en 1994 par Kerridwen Harvey pour le RCIP. Le présent document concerne exclusivement la zone « Discipline » et propose une liste de termes qui devraient être utilisés pour cette zone dans Artefacts Canada. Même si certains musées relevant d'une seule discipline (tel que les musées des beaux-arts) n'inscrivent pas cette information dans leurs bases de données institutionnelles, l'utilisation de la zone « Discipline » est importante dans un répertoire centralisé tel qu'Artefacts Canada, qui contient des fiches descriptives en lien avec diverses disciplines. Disponible en français et en anglais.
