Greetings All,
RE: Balancing Global Agency and Local Precision. Roundtrip your
feedback at TaxonWorks Together 2024
Presenter: David Shorthouse
Where: online, free
Register: https://together.taxonworks.org/
When: 8 May 2024 (next Wednesday) at 15:00 UTC (10:00 CDT).
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.
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
- 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
- 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!
In anticipation,
