People identifiers "roundtrip" workshop
by Shorthouse, David 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

Hello folks, On Dec 6, 2023 13:00 – 17:00 UTC there will be a free, online workshop for collections data managers, collections management system developers, and anyone with an interest in applying persistent and unique identifiers to the people's names in collections data. See https://bit.ly/cms-roundtrip to register. There is a line-up of excellent speakers and domain experts from the US, EU, and Australia who have tackled this challenge from many angles including through the use of downloads available on Bionomia, https://bionomia.net. Some speakers use Specify, some use EMu, and there are other systems at play. There are two 10-15min spots available if you are interested in demonstrating your work in the area of people's names disambiguation and incorporation of their unique, machine-actionable identifiers in your collections management system or collections data. Talks will be recorded. To help keep things lively, we will also have a "Disambiguation Exhibition". Here's your chance to share a quick story. Perhaps you have new insights, new challenges, or new avenues for research as a result of examining who-is-who on labels, or you might have an unsolved mystery to challenge attendees. The format of an "exhibition" is 3 slides in 90 seconds and there are 8 open slots. Please get in touch with me if you are interested in contributing either a 10min talk or a 90 second exhibit and I will send a link to the Google Doc used to plan the event. Otherwise, I hope you are able to join, learn, and consider adopting a "roundtrip" of people's identifiers in your collections data. The agenda will be available soon. David P. Shorthouse

Our colleague and dear friend William Ulate has passed away
by Stan Blum 21 Sep '23

21 Sep '23

Dear TDWG colleagues and friends, You may have already heard the news. If not, the TDWG Executive and I are deeply saddened to announce that long term TDWG Treasurer, valued colleague, and dear friend, William Ulate, has passed away. He was afflicted by a rapid onset, brief illness, and his passing is sudden and unexpected. Chuck Miller from the Missouri Botanical Gardens was able to visit him in hospital and also gave us the news that William’s daughter was able to fly up from Costa Rica to be with him. With the TDWG conference only a few weeks away, we have started to make arrangements for William’s life to be celebrated during the opening session of the conference. Details will follow of opportunities to contribute condolences or tributes either virtually or in person. Kind regards, Ely Wallis Chair, TDWG Executive
