Hi Everyone,
Re: 1st Darwin Core Hour - 7 February 2017 @ 1 PM EST, 6 PM UTC https://www.idigbio.org/content/darwin-core-hour-webinar-series
Wow, next time we'll use a bigger Adobe Connect room! It was SRO! If you tried to get in today, and couldn't, here's the recording: http://idigbio.adobeconnect.com/p200obyl8yp/
and we are looking for your feedback and ideas: 1. After you watch the Webinar Survey: https://tinyurl.com/jq8qzsq 2. Your Darwin Core Standards thoughts as well ideas for future Darwin Core Hours to the Darwin Core Input Form: https://tinyurl.com/zja2muz
With over 100 people trying to get in, you might like to know that roughly 60% of the attendees identified themselves as Users of Darwin Core, while 20% identified as both Users and Developers of Biodiversity Standards, and 20% identified as New to Darwin Core.
So thanks TDWG'ers for being that bridge, the community needs you.
In anticipation for the next Darwin Core Hour! From Deb, et al across the communities of iDigBio DMIG, TDWG, iDigBio EOWG, the iDigBio IAC, iDigBio PaleoDigi, SCNet, GBIF, VertNet, SPNHC, SERNEC, Herbaria-L, Museum-L, Symbiota, Specify, Arctos, and beyond...

Hello Everyone,
You're invited to: Darwin Core Hour: Even Simple is Hard
When: 7 Mar 2017 @ 11 am EST, 4 PM UTC Details here: https://www.idigbio.org/content/darwin-core-hour-even-simple-hard The online meeting space we use will hold up to 500 people - so please invite your colleagues to join!
Chapter Abstract In this 2nd chapter of the Darwin Core Hour series, we will glance at the list of Darwin Core terms that are recommended to be populated with values from controlled vocabularies. From that list we’ll look at some basic terms (e.g., dcterms:type, dwc:basisOfRecord, etc.) for which there are clearly recommended controlled vocabularies.
For the best Darwin Core Hour experience, please add your input here Darwin Core Hour Input Form https://tinyurl.com/zja2muz
We will explore how controlled vocabularies are used in practice and how usage differs from the recommendations. We’ll discuss what the consequences might be of not following *controlled vocabularies*, and the converse - what the consequences might be of doing so. We’ll look at some of the secrets of how aggregators deal with the problem and the lessons we can learn from them. Finally, we will review questions that have been submitted related to this particular subject and open the webinar for further discussion. Presenter: John Wieczorek
