Greetings SPNHC Peeps!<br>
<br>
Many of you are actively capturing data in your databases to publish
to various places like a Symbiota portal, iDigBio, and GBIF. We can
all put our data together into one harmonized pile because ...
standards!<br>
<br>
If you are interested in where our biodiversity data standards come
from, like Darwin Core and Audubon Core, you have an opportunity to
learn more throughout the month of November. Everyone is welcome, no
experience necessary. Find out how these standards help make our
data interoperable, and how you can help achieve that goal.<br>
<br>
Where: Working Sessions for the Interest and Task Groups from TDWG.<br>
<br>
When: Wednesdays and Thursdays in November, see<br>
