Darwin Core Hour: Kurator Web - for Cleaner Biodiversity Data - Tuesday Oct 24th @ 11 AM EDT 12 PM ART, 3 PM UTC, 5 PM CEST
Yes! It's almost Darwin Core Hour Time.
In this enthralling installment, we will all be getting a closer look at Kurator Web (http://kurator.acis.ufl.edu/kurator-web/), and a live demo too. Please join us to learn more about this suite of tools and how you can use them to enhance your collections and research datasets and so that you share your knowledge about them with your respective communities.
When: Tuesday Oct 24th @ 11 AM EDT, 12 PM ART, 3 PM UTC, 5 PM CEST Where: http://idigbio.adobeconnect.com/room Presenter: John Wieczorek Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University; VertNet Title: Darwin Core Hour: Kurator Web - for Cleaner Biodiversity Data
Abstract: When we think about biodiversity data and its use, we often immediately wonder about the data quality and how to improve it. The Kurator project is one of the initiatives addressing this issue, and aims at building data quality control and enhancement tools that can be readily used by people with different technical skill levels. One such tool is the Kurator Web application. This tool allows users to execute web-based data quality improvement workflows on biodiversity data, especially on data shared using Darwin Core terms, without the need for programming expertise. In this webinar we will demonstrate the use of Kurator Web to run pre-existing data quality workflows, some of which include: aligning datasets with Darwin Core terms, comparing unique values in datasets with controlled vocabularies, and providing suggestions for improvements for existing data. Finally, we will provide some context on how these tools can integrate with broader workflows and some perspective on the future of biodiversity data quality.
