Many of us, as data providers and data aggregators need to both give and
receive feedback about our data. A new proposed Darwin Core term:
feedbackURL could provide a feasible -- actionable -- step forward.
See SEE: https://github.com/tdwg/dwc/issues/180 <SEE:
https://github.com/tdwg/dwc/issues/180>. If you'd like to learn more
about this and how it might work for you, if you'd like to add to the
conversation, please join us at TaxonWorks Together for the talk:
Balancing Global Agency and Local Precision. Roundtrip your feedback.
David Shorthouse presents this topic to share his take and insights on
the potential in this term for all of us.
It's exciting to be talking about implementing solutions that could help
data providers get feedback directly. Hope to see you there!
Note there are related sessions you might find interesting:
* A Data Quality Round Table Conversation: with GBIF, iDigBio,
TaxonWorks, the Paleo Data Working Group, Robert Mesibov, and You
o From data quality (e. g. completeness, consistency,
compliance), to data management, expect an in-depth congenial
local-to-global conversation. From the data aggregator, to the
working group, the researcher, the collection / data manager,
and the data analyst, what do we each experience, what do we
dream of? How is data-quality an outcome of processes? Looking
for alignment opportunities.
* A Look Inside One’s (TaxonWorks) Data
o What’s in those buckets anyway in your database fields? How do
you know where to find issues? When and how do you find snafus
and how do you fix them? We explore the promise of the new
Project vocab and Field Synchronize tasks in TaxonWorks. What
are your processes and needs for doing this work to enhance and
extend your data? How has the evolution of TaxonWorks
illuminated outstanding data-quality challenges and what does it
offer to make it eas(ier) to address them?
+ (pssst: if you know you me, you'll have heard me talk about
visualizing the data in your databases, come see to get a
taste of what this is making possible).
Your questions, welcome. Looking forward to seeing you there!
