Darwin Core Hour: Audubon Core and 3D Biodiversity Data - Tuesday 21 November 2017 3 PM EST
Hello Everyone!
Got 3D data and image files? How are you sharing, storing, and managing these media information resources and metadata? Wondering what others are doing to make media, and 3D in particular, more accessible? From the scientific collections perspective, please join us for our upcoming Darwin Core Hour Webinar: Audubon Core and 3D Biodiversity Data: Metadata, Practice, and Unification of Efforts
We encourage people to bring or submit questions for discussion section of webinar. https://bit.ly/dwchour-input
Date: Tuesday 21 November 2017 Time: 3pm EST, 12pm PST, 5pm ART, 9pm CET, 20:00 UTC Where: http://idigbio.adobeconnect.com/room
Abstract: A growing mode of digitization of natural history collection objects is 3D digitization, which includes three main acquisition techniques: surface scanning (structured light or laser scanners), volumetric scanning (microCT or MRI), and photogrammetry (structure from motion). There is now burgeoning interest in and tremendous need for describing 3D data files with standard vocabularies in the interest of promoting broad accessibility and long-term digital preservation. Audubon Core is an existing vocabulary and extension to Darwin Core that is used to describe digital media files representing natural history objects. It is not an entirely new vocabulary with many terms borrowed from Dublin Core, Darwin Core and more. It also intended to describe different kinds of digital data representing different creation methods and file formats. We overview several different 3D data collection modalities specifying the details needed for understanding how 3D data was generated and processed. We investigate the utility of Audubon Core for describing these 3D modalities. Questions we ask are which existing terms can be used for describing new 3D modalities, whether new terms are needed, whether certain 3D modalities need specific terms not applicable to other modalities, what 3D data formats should be emphasized for preservation and access, and how to pursue formally acquiring new terms either through creation of new vocabularies or extending existing ones.

Darwin Core Hour Series Abstract: Darwin Core has become a broadly-used standard for biodiversity data sharing since its inception as a standard by the organization Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) in 2009. Despite, or because of, its popularity, people trying to use the standard continue to have questions about how to use Darwin Core and associated extensions. This webinar series looks at open questions related to Darwin Core. Though the topic is broad, individual chapters in the series will focus on specific topics to any adequate level of depth. We encourage people to bring or submit questions and to have open discussions in each webinar (https://bit.ly/dwchour-input). See https://github.com/tdwg/dwc-qa/wiki/Webinars for our webinar resources.
See you soon! Deborah Paul from iDigBio, and the DwC Hour Team

Hello TDWG,
The holidays are almost here. We hope to see you tomorrow (that's Tuesday 21 November) for Darwin Core Hour: Audubon Core and 3D Biodiversity Data -Metadata, Practice, and Unification of Efforts.
Data standards to support 3D data and images are evolving - be part of that conversation - and thanks!

Happy Holidays Biodiversity Information Standards - aka TDWG!,
We hope you'll join us for: Darwin Core Hour Brainstorming – Inviting the Community to Plan for Next Year.
Hi there! Our last Darwin Core Hour of the year is coming! We would like to take this opportunity to invite you all to an open conversation. During this webinar we will briefly go through the experience of putting together a Darwin Core Hour, i.e., how it works: from the inside. We will assess the topics covered and the ones yet to come, and we will put together a plan for next year. We would love to have you participate, bring your input and ideas for making this initiative grow and address the interests and concerns of the community.
Date and Time: Monday 4 December 2017 at 11AM EST, 4PM GMT (UTC), 1PM ART, 2PM PST Where: https://idigbio.adobeconnect.com/room Presenters: Paula Zermoglio and the Darwin Core Hour Team

Hello TDWG!, a quick reminder,
It's time for Darwin Core Hour Brainstorming – Inviting the Community to Plan for Next Year.
You know a lot about the standards needs and challenges are when it comes to imaging, georeferencing, and sharing collections data. Please join us and add the experience and expertise of the TDWG community to our efforts.
