[Nhcoll-l] Call for Participation: Hackathon on iDigBio APIs/Services and Interoperability

[Andréa Matsunaga]

*Call for Participation: Hackathon on iDigBio APIs/Services and 
Interoperability*

As of February 2015, iDigBio (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.idigbio.org_&d=AwIDaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=lgXflK0nlYva6H352vIvg8lraiRjSQOcGhaRHGkTRCg&s=PoNxpg78LgYv8uhP36OOmiDKK5oD98CQguHCf0lDUCo&e= ) has ingested 
more than 25 million specimens and 4 million media objects from 
biodiversity collections with world-wide range. This great resource of 
biodiversity information has been made accessible not only through the 
iDigBio portal, but also through Application Programming Interfaces 
(APIs) that any application can consume since 2013.

iDigBio is hosting a 3-day hackathon (June 3-5, 2015) in Gainesville, 
FL, to engage the community in developing applications that can 
facilitate biodiversity scientific workflows and information that use 
data, ingestion and search APIs. PhyloJIVE is an example of such tool 
that integrates biodiversity data with phylogeny by using the iDigBio 
search API to retrieve species and induced-trees API of OpenTree to 
generate a phylogenetic tree for those species. Do you want to make use 
of iDigBio data from your tool? Do you have an idea for a new tool that 
can use iDigBio data? Read the complete call for participation
