Describe your dataset and any specific requests.

Hi IOOS,

I have a zooplankton dataset that is ~80% of the converted to DarwinCore. This data set was sampled at 3 sites in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and 2 sites along a transect from a river mouth in the Everglades. These are cruises from mid 2017 to late 2020. The sites along the Florida Keys usually have 3 mesh sizes, 64 um, 200 um and 500 um, while the Everglades sites only has 64 um. Most of the analyzed data is for the 200 um and 500 um mesh. More data is being logged, but is not finalized as of yet. I have some scripts to ingest all the new data and add to the current DarwinCore formatted data (linked in form above) .

I am seeking approval/suggestions on the format of the event, occurrence and MoF files (linked in form above).

I would like feedback on:

1. The column headers names
2. Columns to add/subtract
3. Order of columns
4. Anything else to do before official submission

Best,
Sebastian D.
