Camtrap DP 1.0.2

Patch release to support Parquet data files. No changes are made to the standard (meta)data terms. There is no need to update your implementations or datasets.

The main changes are listed below (full diff here).

Package

• resources is a required property in Data Package, but is now also defined as such in Camtrap DP, so this is clearer on the website (#387).
• The table schemas now include NA, NaN and nan in addition to "" as allowed missingValues in support of Parquet data files (#408).

Example dataset

• The example dataset now refers to the R package camtrapdp rather than camtraptor as related resource (#407).

Documentation

• The website now has a FAQ section (#329).
• CITATION.cff now includes keywords (#386).

Camtrap DP 1.0.1

Patch release to support validation with frictionless-py 5.17 and up. No changes are made the standard (meta)data terms. There is no need to update your implementations or datasets, unless you want to validate Camtrap DPs with the latest version of frictionless-py.

The main changes are listed below (full diff here).

Package

• Fix issue (missing first slash in "$ref": "#/$defs/version") preventing validation with frictionless-py 5.17 and up (#383).
• Link to canonical https://specs.frictionlessdata.io/schemas/data-package.json (#384).
• Use full URL (https://camtrap-dp.tdwg.org/data) to point to data page (#368).

Documentation

• Example dataset's observations.csv no longer starts with BOM character and datapackage.json no longer contains superfluous spatial.bbox(#370).
• Update README, homepage and add CITATION.cff (#382).
• Fix typos in test documentation (#372).

Media

• Table description rephrased
• Updated term: captureMethod has a renamed enum value activityDetection (from motionDetection) (#361)
• Updated term: filePublic refers to http://rs.tdwg.org/ac/terms/serviceExpectation (#350)

• Updated term: exifData has file type any to allow string representation of json in csv (#326)

Observations

• Table description updated to fix typo
• Updated term: observationType mentions the term classificationProbability for unknown values.
• Deleted term: taxonID (#363)

Documentation

• New website URL: https://camtrap-dp.tdwg.org (https://tdwg.github.io/camtrap-dp will automatically redirect) (#342)

Camtrap DP 1.0 - Release candidate 1

This release is the first release candidate for Camtrap DP 1.0. It closes all current issues associated with milestone 1.0. Main changes since previous release (0.6):

• Observations are a single table again with effects on deployments, media and package (#314 (comment))
• Add bounding box terms (#219)
• Language codes are 3 letters (#318)
• Null values must be empty strings (#316)
• Update tests to Frictionless Framework 5 (#320)
• Build website with GitHub Actions (#315)

Camtrap DP 0.6

This release implements most of the changes for Camtrap DP 1.0, including:

• Split observations into media-observations and event-observations (#289)
• Use a deployments > media > media/event-observations hierarchy (#279)
• Update terms (#286)
• Include speed, angle and radius (#292)
• Allow custom resources/tables (#283)
• Include visualization of the example dataset (#285)

Camtrap DP 0.1.6

First stable release, with a model where observations are linked to sequenceID and optionally mediaID. The observations table also includes deploymentID and timestamp.

This release was implemented in:

• Agouti.eu as export format (used by researchers)
• TRAPPER as import/export format (for testing purposes)
• camtraptor as import format and for conversion to Darwin Core (used by researchers)
• GBIF IPT (for testing purposes)

This version was presented at TDWG 2021.

Camtrap DP 0.1.3

Release before the GitLab → GitHub migration.
