[Nhcoll-l] (Free) Introduction to the Biodiversity Information Standards Community

[Deborah Paul]

Hi Everyone,

Wondering about biodiversity information data standards? Find out where 
they come from, and how you and everyone in the SPNHC family can 
contribute to the standards community and then share what you learn with 
your colleagues. Two introduction sessions (choose one) have open slots 
and registration is free 
<https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2020/working-sessions-schedule/>. 
Everyone from the Biodiversity Information Standards organization (also 
known as TDWG - Taxonomic Databases Working Group) looks forward to 
seeing you there.

This introductory session focuses on where standards come from, what 
current interest and task groups at TDWG are developing, real examples 
of how these standards support science and collections, and current ways 
in which you can get involved to bring your expertise and needs to the 
TDWG table.

Following this intro session, we invite you to register now for the TDWG 
Working Sessions (Sept 21 - 25) 
<https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2020/working-sessions-schedule/> and 
the TDWG 2020 Conference (Oct 19 - 23 --> separate registration opening 
soon) <https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2020/>. Please send questions to 
conf-organizers at tdwg.org

In anticipation,
