MCPDL v2

• major modifications in MCPDL v2

• always a 3 digit code - several states added
• levels of specificity (400 breeding/research
  material, 410 breeders line, 412 hybrid)

MCPDL v2

• necessary additions for EURISCO data exchange
• NI code to identify the data set

• could also be part of the name of the data set
  (EURISCO_NLD.TXT)

MCPDL v2

• desired facilities
• downloadable institution and country codes
• current country codes are only available in html,
  to get the deleted codes one has to mail IPGRI
• institution codes are downloadable for registered
  users only
• on line data checker
• send the data to address and receive directly
  automatically generated report

13
MCPDL v2

• address codes
• IPGRI / FAO considers it possible to add all
  addresses in the WIEWS Institute Table, even if
  it is used only once
• some numbers
• CGN has 2816 distinct address codes of which 399
  have a FAO code
• current FAO list contains 8386 codes
• if all genebank would add all their addresses the
  FAO list would explode
• how to handle this problem?

MCPDL v2

• Dear Theo,
• I have gone through the recent "Progress in
  EURISCO" discussions with
• Adriana and would like to make the following
  comments
• I am happy to see that the MCPD seem to be useful
  for EURISCO and would like
• to see all of the descriptors used in EURISCO, if
  possible. We wanted to
• make progress on the development of the MCPD and
  have therefore included
• some descriptors than are not (yet) standardized
  with the hope that through
• their use we can eventually develop standards. If
  these descriptors are not
• used in EURISCO it will be more difficult to
  develop standards.
• ...
• Best regards,
• Thomas
