<p>Hello Everyone!<br>
<br>
Got 3D data and image files? How are you sharing, storing, and
managing these media information resources and metadata? Wondering
what others are doing to make media, and 3D in particular, more
accessible? From the scientific collections perspective, please
join us for our upcoming Darwin Core Hour Webinar: Audubon Core
and 3D Biodiversity Data: Metadata, Practice, and Unification of
Efforts<br>
<br>
We encourage people to bring or submit questions for discussion

Abstract: A growing mode of digitization of natural history
collection objects is 3D digitization, which includes three main
acquisition techniques: surface scanning (structured light or
laser scanners), volumetric scanning (microCT or MRI), and
photogrammetry (structure from motion). There is now burgeoning
interest in and tremendous need for describing 3D data files with
standard vocabularies in the interest of promoting broad
accessibility and long-term digital preservation. Audubon Core is
an existing vocabulary and extension to Darwin Core that is used
to describe digital media files representing natural history
objects. It is not an entirely new vocabulary with many terms
borrowed from Dublin Core, Darwin Core and more. It also intended
to describe different kinds of digital data representing different
creation methods and file formats. We overview several different
3D data collection modalities specifying the details needed for
understanding how 3D data was generated and processed. We
investigate the utility of Audubon Core for describing these 3D
modalities. Questions we ask are which existing terms can be used
for describing new 3D modalities, whether new terms are needed,
whether certain 3D modalities need specific terms not applicable
to other modalities, what 3D data formats should be emphasized for
preservation and access, and how to pursue formally acquiring new
terms either through creation of new vocabularies or extending
existing ones.<br>

Darwin Core Hour Series Abstract:<br>
Darwin Core has become a broadly-used standard for biodiversity
data sharing since its inception as a standard by the organization
Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) in 2009. Despite, or
because of, its popularity, people trying to use the standard
continue to have questions about how to use Darwin Core and
associated extensions. This webinar series looks at open questions
related to Darwin Core. Though the topic is broad, individual
chapters in the series will focus on specific topics to any
adequate level of depth. We encourage people to bring or submit
questions and to have open discussions in each webinar
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bit.ly/dwchour-input">https://bit.ly/dwchour-input</a>). See
