Hello @elenimou ,
Thank you for clarifying!
Here is what the fields you mentioned would look like while mapping -
| Darwin Core Field | Table | Target Field |
|---|---|---|
earliestPeriodOrLowestSystem |
PaleoContext > Chronostratigraphy | Period →Start date |
earliestEpochOrLowestSeries |
PaleoContext > Chronostratigraphy | Epoch → Start date |
materialSample |
Preparation > Material Samples | Type |
And here is the what the mapping for the terms you mentioned would look like in WorkBench. Material samples can be mapped to the MaterialSample table via Preparations table. And earliestPeriodOrLowestSystem or earliestEpochOrLowestSeries can be mapped in Chrono Strat within Paleo Context.
Something to note is that these tables are Hidden and you will need to check the ‘Reveal Hidden Form Fields’ box at the bottom of the webpage.
We are in the process of formalizing our documentation for Specify mapping to DwCA workflow. While the official guide isn’t ready for release, I’d be happy to assist with any specific terms or mapping directly.
For your reference, here is documentation on the WorkBench and its functionality: The Specify 7 WorkBench
I hope this helps!
