[tdwg-content] Workshop on Documenting Darwin Core

[joel sachs]

Everyone,

The Documenting Darwin Core workshop being held next week at TDWG will be 
a series of four facilitated discussions that will examine current usage 
and documentation of some of the more contentious and/or misunderstood 
Darwin Core terms. Descriptions and goals for each session are posted at 
http://bit.ly/18U2V2b .  Please feel free to comment on this agenda.

All are welcome to participate in any or all of the sessions. But please 
note that we will only have time for minimal introductory and background 
discussion. For those who need a refresher course, I've pasted links to 
issue summaries below.


To all who'll be attending, I wish safe travels and a wonderful and 
productive meeting - I wish I could be there.

Best,
Joel.
