[Deborah Paul]

Hi TDWG'ers,

Darwin Core (DwC) Hour #4 is almost here: Evolution of DwC Terms and 
Extensions - two extant examples for community input. Go Here for 
Webinar Details and Meeting Link:

ABSTRACT. Darwin Core Hour #4 shifts focus to understanding how the DwC 
standard terms and extensions evolve. Community input and implementation 
drive development of DwC. For this webinar, we selected 
dwc:preparations, dwc:occurrenceStatus, and dwc:establishmentMeans to 
show the broader community how the process works. In this way, we 
highlight the need for outside input - from those using TDWG standards 
to share biodiversity data. Two presenters, Andrew Bentley and Quentin 
Groom, invite you to join them and bring your TDWG expertise and 
insights to current issues surrounding these terms. Introduction by John 
Wieczorek.

Please bring or submit questions for open discussions in each webinar:

When: Tuesday 2 May 2017 5 PM CEST, 11 AM EDT, 10 AM CDT, 3 PM UTC
Where: https://idigbio.adobeconnect.com/room
Please expect this DwC Hour to be 1.5 hours.
