serving datasetID for some, not all records
From https://github.com/tdwg/dwc-qa/wiki/Institutions-and-Collections, it seems that datasetID would be an appropriate way for a TCN to credit relevant data. Will iDigBio/GBIF serve datasetID if it is provided? Will it be a problem if datasetID is blank for some records?
The term "datasetID" in the occurrence-core is not mandatory in GBIF (and I believe also not indexed by GBIF). http://rs.gbif.org/core/dwc_occurrence_2015-07-02.xml#datasetID The concept "datasetKey" in GBIF identifies a resource such as an entire Darwin Core Archive. And cannot be declared per record.
This issue more broadly relates to the question of how best to track and aggregate occurrence records related to a funded project, e.g. a TCN, which is something that was discussed by some of the paleo community (@eclites @hollyel @tkarim) at the Digital Data meeting in Berkeley last month.
Opinion from @kevinlove was that dwc:datasetName (or dwc:datasetID) is not the right place. He suggested possibly a new field, which is what oVert is doing. Another option is to use dynamic properties.
dwc:datasetName is indexed by iDigBio, e.g. http://search.idigbio.org/v2/summary/top/records?top_fields=[%22indexData.dwc:datasetName%22]&count=100
This may not be a DwC Hour topic, but is probably something useful to document here if/when we reach any consensus.
To @eclites the issue is really that while a TCN exists, data (so far) from each TCN data partner now comes to us separately. We need a way to credit and refer to both the TCN as an entity, but also the institution providing some data for that TCN as a TCN member partner. Another field (that needs adding?) would be one that allows one-to-many for referencing grant numbers relating to a given specimen (and/or dataset). NSF would be very happy to see such a thing so that metrics could be done to show what's been amassed with NSF funding.
that is a very interesting question that we should ask!

Would NSF be willing to pay for the effort to make that happen?
