    <p>Hi Everyone,</p>
    <p>RE: Darwin Core Hour 8: A bite from the core - testing for data
      quality<br>
    </p>
    <p>In this upcoming episode of Darwin Core Hour (DCH), we head down
      under to join Arthur D. Chapman and Lee Belbin for a conversation
      about Darwin Core and Data Quality. We'll hear about collaborative
      efforts across the aggregator community (specifically GBIF,
      VertNet, ALA, and iDigBio) to harmonize data quality algorithms
      for the downstream data use by researchers, developers, etc. These
      efforts are the result of the Biodiversity Information Standards
      (TDWG) Data Quality Interest Group (DQIG) work to develop a suite
      of common, shared tests and data format expectations for use by
      aggregators.<br>
    </p>

    involved in this DCH)<br>
