<p>Hi Everyone!</p>
<p>Please join us tomorrow to learn about what happens to museum
specimen data when it is shared with a data aggregator.</p>
Title: Darwin Core Hour: GBIF and iDigBio present the Aggregator's
Viewpoint<br>

Part TWO: iDigBio - aggregating and enhancing vouchered global
biocollections data<br>

Abstract. In this next Darwin Core Hour Series, we shift to the
viewpoint of large biodiversity data aggregators. In this session,
we welcome GBIF and iDigBio. GBIF aggregates the world's
biodiversity data from observations to checklists to biological
specimen data. iDigBio aggregates vouchered specimen data with
related media, genetic information and trait data. The Darwin Core
Standard plays a key role in the standardization of biodiversity
data and in the design and implementation of strategies to improve
data quality. Many people wonder what happens to their data after
they provide it to an aggregator. Find out the answers to such
questions as: what does the aggregator do to assess fitness of the
data?, what are the most common data issues seen?, what does the
aggregator do to data to make it easier to find when searching an
aggregator database?, and how does sharing data with an aggregator
benefit me as a collection manager/curator/researcher/data
scientist?<br>
<br>
As always, we encourage people to bring or <a

have open discussions in each webinar.<br>
