Hi all tdwg'rs TODAY is the SPNHC 2017 Abstract Deadline. You're typing like mad, right?

Targeted at the collections community, TDWG areas related to natural history collections data standards, needs and developments for exchange formats, novel uses for ways to explore collections data and improve data quality, are just some topics that would be great.
