<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Dear TDWG
Members and Friends,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>TDWG 2009
will be help in Montpellier France from November 9-13. I thought I would take
this opportunity to outline the activities I see as important for TDWG this
year leading up to the conference this November. There are many important
things for us to be doing in the lead up to the meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>We have made
much progress over the last few years in reworking our standards for greater
interoperability. The LSID work and the associated LSID vocabularies have been
a major part of this. These changes make it much easier to reuse TDWG standards
with different technologies, to embed TDWG data elements in other structures,
and to map other data formats into forms which can be interpreted as
TDWG-compliant data. However this work is still incomplete. We need to
formalise the vocabularies as an agreed high-level ontology or data model to
support cross-project data integration. Many of our projects are awaiting a
clear lead in this area. Please contact me if you are interested in leading
some of this work or contributing to the discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>One obvious
example of the importance of this work comes from Annie Simpson's comments during
her presentation in Perth. It should not be difficult<span style='color:#1F497D'>
</span><span style='color:black'>for a group like GISIN to adopt TDWG standards
and be able quickly to build a network to share data using those standards. I
reiterate the challenge for us to solve this problem this year, using GISIN's
requirements as a benchmark.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>It
is encouraging to see that NCD nears the end of its public review and that
TAPIR has just been submitted to the TDWG standards track. It would appear that
the submission of Darwin Core is not far off either. Please help to ensure that
we end up with effective standards that can be easily adopted by a wide
audience. </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>In recent years TDWG
conferences have moved away from their earlier format, with significant
emphasis on working group meetings, to become more of a reporting conference on
the activities of TDWG-related projects.&nbsp; This has had some benefits, but
has also in some ways weakened the organisation by reducing our focus on the
core activity of developing and promoting standards.&nbsp; The vitality of our
working groups in large measure depends on the conference providing a focus for
their activity.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

2009 will be structured differently.&nbsp; Monday and Friday of the conference
have been reserved for plenary sessions, but for the rest of the conference we
plan to run three parallel (and, I hope, intersecting) streams of
activities.&nbsp; One of these will be on the use of biodiversity informatics
to support agriculture and crop diversity.&nbsp; Another stream will be for
TDWG to initiate activity in response to the roadmap developed at e-Biosphere
2009.&nbsp; The third stream is still be be selected.&nbsp; Each stream will
include a range of activities (e.g. symposia, seminars, task group sessions,
hackathons) planned to address key issues and to result in real deliverables to
