Hi Everyone,

RE: Darwin Core Hour 8: A bite from the core - testing for data quality

In this upcoming episode of Darwin Core Hour (DCH), we head down under to join Arthur D. Chapman and Lee Belbin for a conversation about Darwin Core and Data Quality. We'll hear about collaborative efforts across the aggregator community (specifically GBIF, VertNet, ALA, and iDigBio) to harmonize data quality algorithms for the downstream data use by researchers, developers, etc. These efforts are the result of the Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) Data Quality Interest Group (DQIG) work to develop a suite of common, shared tests and data format expectations for use by aggregators.

TIME: (please check carefully, the international dateline is involved in this DCH) 7 AM Wednesday Sept 6th (Tasmania) 5 PM Tuesday Sept 5th (USA EDT) 6 PM Tuesday Sept 5th (Buenos Aires) 21:00 UTC Tuesday Sept 5th
