This in-person focus/discussion group during this year's Digital Data Conference will address conversations to date and broaden the input into the Action Center concept. Addressing Roadblocks and Envisioning Solutions of the Digital Extended Specimen Concept This two-hour workshop and discussion session will bring together biodiversity informatics and data experts from throughout our community to address some of the possibilities and challenges implementing the Digital Extended Specimen concept. This session will address solutions to date and additionally look to the community for input and discussion. Open discussion: the NEON Biorepository infrastructure model This discussion session is offered to complement the opportunity to visit the National Ecological Observatory Network, NEON Biorepository, in person during Digital Data 2023 at Arizona State University. The NEON project involves a structured, long-term plan to sample new, diverse, prioritized specimens across distributed sites of the North American subcontinent, process and store them a both intermediary peripheral facilities and a permanent centralized location, transform them into Darwin Core occurrences and published extended specimens, and actively make both samples and data available for loan to enable question-driven ecological and evolutionary research.
