Greetings TDWG Folks,
RE: TaxonWorks Together 2024 - You're Invited - May 7 - 9
The details and to register, see https://together.taxonworks.org/
Bring your perspectives on how to "Describe Life" to the 5th annual event on TaxonWorks, its community, and the broader world of biodiversity informatics. Check out the agenda to see our guests (from aggregators to researchers to data and collection managers and developers and you).
Some key topics to pique your particular interests:
* Everyone Can Develop: contributing to and using community-centric open-source endeavours * Our New and Experienced TaxonWorks Adopters Share Their Experiences * Geospatial tools in biodiversity informatics, an open discussion on where we might head * Balancing Global Agency and Local Precision. Roundtrip your feedback. o If you think about the extended specimen and wonder how we can help collections and individuals get recognized for their efforts, if you wonder about your agency, please check out this session. * From Plazi to TaxonWorks * Managing Natural History Collections in TaxonWorks: Perspectives, Tips, and Highlights of New Digitization Workflows o Hear from those actively managing their collections and publishing their data using TaxonWorks * Growing Taxonomic Communities * Your TaxonWorks Adventure Begins (Demos and Tours) * A (Biodiversity) Data Quality Round Table Conversation o From data quality (e. g. completeness, consistency, compliance), to data management, expect an in-depth congenial local-to-global conversation. From the data aggregator, to the working group, the researcher, the collection / data manager, and the data analyst, what do we each experience, what do we dream of? How is data-quality an outcome of processes? Looking for alignment opportunities and ways to realize the extended specimen. * Vision: Integrating the TaxonWorks Experience Into a Taxonomy Course
Some activities will be highly-guided, some information style, and some unconference style. Zoom space may be limited, please don't wait! Questions welcome.
Please see agenda for details https://together.taxonworks.org/ and to register.
In anticipation, Debbie, for the Species File Group /PS definitely cross-posting far-and-wide/
