RE: Darwin Core Hour 9: Kurator Web - for Cleaner Biodiversity
Data<br>
<br>
After hearing from aggregators last month, and all about the Data
Quality efforts of the TDWG DQ IG in September, we shift gears to
a project called "Kurator" which offers a suite of tools that any
data provider (individual or institution) can use to investigate
data quality.</p>
<p>DAY and TIME: Tuesday Oct 24 @ 11 AM EDT, 12 PM ART, 3 PM UTC, 5

Abstract.<br>
When we think about biodiversity data and its use, we often
immediately wonder about the data quality and how to improve it.
The Kurator project is one of the initiatives addressing this
issue, and aims at building data quality control and enhancement
tools that can be readily used by people with different technical
skill levels. One such tool is the Kurator Web application. This
tool allows users to execute web-based data quality improvement
workflows on biodiversity data, especially on data shared using
Darwin Core terms, without the need for programming expertise. In
this webinar we will demonstrate the use of Kurator Web to run
pre-existing data quality workflows, some of which include:
aligning datasets with Darwin Core terms, comparing unique values
in datasets with controlled vocabularies, and providing
suggestions for improvements for existing data. Finally, we will
provide some context on how these tools can integrate with broader
workflows and some perspective on the future of biodiversity data
quality.<br>
