Following from the other calls for presentations at TDWG 2007 in Bratislava this autumn, there will be a session on Tuesday September 18, 2007 between 14:00 and 15:30 under the title "Protocols: Unifying the data, wrapping it up, and sending it back".

We are interested in receiving proposals for presentations in areas such as the following:

Development of solutions using TDWG's own protocols, particularly TAPIR
Development of solutions using standard Internet discovery, access and transfer protocols using TDWG data standards
Development of community-specific protocols for use in biodiversity informatics (including their possible wider application and/or adoption as TDWG standards)
Issues within biodiversity informatics where protocol standards are still needed

The session on Septemer 18 will be limited to 6 presentations, but there will also be opportunities for posters and computer demonstrations.

Please contact me if you wish to propose a presentation in this area.

Many thanks,

Donald
