[Nhcoll-l] REMINDER: Webinar tomorrow (Nov 8) - Arctos Entities: Greater than the sum of their parts

[Emily M. Braker]

Please join us tomorrow Tuesday, November 8th for a webinar on Arctos Entities.

Presenter: Teresa Mayfield-Meyer (Arctos Community Coordinator), with examples from Angelo State (Serina Brady), MVZ (Carla Cicero), and UCM (Emily Braker)
Abstract:
A new collection shared by all Arctos institutions creates globally unique persistent identifiers with the capability to link records in an over-arching "entity". In biological collections this entity can be used to describe an organism that may have samples scattered over several institutions using dwc:organismID to realize the extended specimen, or to associate catalog records that compose a discrete assemblage such as a population or multiple fossils in a matrix. This presentation will demonstrate how this collection functions within Arctos and how it can be used externally to bring together catalog records from multiple institutions. Arctos entities provide opportunities for potential collaboration with data aggregators as hubs for asserting entity relationships and flagging duplicate occurrences as well as a clearinghouse for all that is known about an organism or other entity of interest.

When: Tuesday, November 8, 2022 at 3:00 pm ET/1:00 pm MT/12:00 pm PT (19:00 UTC)

Where: https://cuboulder.zoom.us/j/95306371597 (passcode: Arctos)

Can't Make It?: This webinar will be recorded and made available on the Arctos Youtube station: https://arctosdb.org/learn/webinars/

We hope to see you there!

Best,
Emily
