Ecological Trait-data Standard vocabulary
Together with a few others I developed the ETS as a standard terminology that aids researchers to publish and re-use trait data. The project aims to facilitate the integration of data from distributed sources into data compilations.
The paper explaining the rationale:

Simons. 2019. Towards an ecological trait-data standard. Methods in Ecology and Evolution (early view). doi: 10.1111/2041-210X.13288

R package traitdataform
I developed an R package to assist with applying the ETS to your own dataset or to harmonize units and terms when creating compilations of data from distributed sources.

collaboration statement
Welcoming any contribution to the community-based development of the ETS for the multiple use cases of trait-based research. Development of the R package with the goal to help to create interfaces between computational tools in R.
