<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Apologies for the delay in sending round a draft abstract for the TDWG 2023 conference. We discussed submitting an abstract to the symposium “SYM02 Building bridges: Mapping from, to and between TDWG standards” with the inclusion of some
case studies. A draft abstract is here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-hFQZaeTWngZ34BymumTxCmmDl-gv5fAIJVGFQFHm4s/edit">
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-hFQZaeTWngZ34BymumTxCmmDl-gv5fAIJVGFQFHm4s/edit</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The thinking is that it needs something more concrete. Time is very short, I’m afraid, so we may not be able to add very specific information about the case studies at this time, but maybe some of the task group members have some experience
with curation, data wrangling and scripting, calculating MIDS for the collections they represent that you might want to include here?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please feel free to add suggestions and comments in the abstract, as well as adding your name to the list of authors.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’d hoped to be able to send this round much earlier, but we will be able to spend more time on the presentation itself if the abstract is accepted.<o:p></o:p></p>
