The workshop will cover tools and techniques used to correctly interpret
textual location data into spatial descriptions that can be used in
mapping and analyses. Participants will learn the fundamentals of
georeferencing best practices through a combination of lectures and
hands-on exercises, including paper maps, the MaNIS Georeferencing
Calculator, GEOLocate, BioGeomancer and online exercises. Special
attention will be paid to the specific and unique georeferencing needs
and workflows of the TCNs and their digitization activities.
On behalf of the iDigBio Georeferencing Working Group and all of us at
iDigBio - Hope to see you there!
Deb
