<p>This workshop is for you if you:<br>
• manage data for a museum collection and would like to learn
how to use the IPT<br>
• want to understand more about Darwin Core and Data Sharing
Standards<br>
• would like to understand just what is meant by "Darwin Core
Archive file (DwC-a)."<br>
• want to learn how to create or update Darwin Core Archive
files using the IPT<br>
• would like to understand just a bit more about where data
goes and how it gets there once it leaves your collection<br>

Looking forward to seeing you there!,<br>
