*Surveys: Integrating Changes into Collections Databases: Challenges and Opportunities* The purpose of these surveys are to gather information from the collections community regarding your experience incorporating changes into your local collections databases. Our goals are to compile and sharefindings at /SPNHC-TDWG 2018/ <https://doi.org/10.3897/biss.2.26003>//as part of the SPNHC symposium <https://doi.org/10.3897/biss.2.26003>: Challenges for Implementing Collections Data Quality Feedback: synthesizing the community experience. Our interests are in the skills, processes, and resources needed (or missing) when collections staff work to integrate data from aggregators and/or crowd-sourced transcriptions back into their local databases. We plan to share the critical information collected in these surveys to help current and future programs design and implement improved data integration and data quality efforts.Many changes might need to be integrated into collection databases. These two surveys focus on : * data quality feedback suggestions from aggregators, and * information provided by crowdsourcing efforts (e.g., online transcription platforms), Please take either questionnaire, or both, as is appropriate. Each survey is estimated to take a maximum of 5 to 10 minutes. /Results will be shared at //SPNHC-TDWG 2018/ <https://doi.org/10.3897/biss.2.26003>/and with you as well if you provide contact information. / Survey 1: Integrating Data Quality Feedback from Aggregators into Collection Databases http://bit.ly/integrateDQ Survey 2: Integrating Crowdsourced Data into Collection Databases http://bit.ly/integrateCrowdData Thanks very much.In anticipation, Deb Paul (iDigBio) & Nicole Fisher (CSIRO) /please excuse cross-postings - aiming for worldwide reach - please share!/ *Nicole Fisher* Digital Collections and Informatics National Research Collections Australia (NRCA) CSIRO *E*nicole.fisher(a)csiro.au <mailto:nicole.fisher@csiro.au> *T*+61 2 6246 4261 *M*+61 (0) 475 972 827 Address : GPO Box 1700, Canberra ACT 2601, Australia www.csiro.au/en/Research/Collections <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.csiro.au_en_Researc…> -- -- Upcoming iDigBio Events https://www.idigbio.org/calendar -- Deborah Paul, iDigBio Digitization and Workforce Training Specialist iDigBio -- Steering Committee Member SPNHC Liaison, Member-At-Large and Member International Relations Committee SYNTHESYS3 Representative Institute for Digital Information, 234 LSB Florida State University Tallahassee, Florida 32306 850-644-6366
