<div dir="ltr">You are invited to join us for a free, online workshop, <i><b>Using Wikidata to capture and share information about paleontological collecting sites</b></i><b>, scheduled for October 4-5, 2022</b>. If you are interested in attending, please register by September 26th.<br><br>This workshop will build on experience gained by participants in Part I of the series (<a href="https://www.idigbio.org/wiki/index.php/Using_Wikidata_to_Capture_and_Share_Information_about_People_in_Paleontology" target="_blank"><i>Using Wikidata to capture and share information about people in paleontology</i></a>)
 to explore the possibility of using Wikidata to curate community 
knowledge about paleontological collecting sites. Participants will 
begin by defining our information needs regarding paleontological 
collecting sites, including flagging aspects of the data that may be 
problematic to share publicly. We will then assess how these information
 needs could, or could not, fit into a Wikidata model. We will use a 
predetermined set of representative paleo collecting sites as test data 
for this workshop.<br><br>Participants should ideally have attended Part
 I of this workshop series, although if they did not then prior 
experience with Wikidata is an adequate substitute. Those who need a 
refresher on editing Wikidata records can view the videos linked in the <a href="https://www.idigbio.org/wiki/index.php/Using_wikidata_to_capture_and_share_information_about_paleontological_collecting_sites" target="_blank">pre-workshop homework section of the workshop wiki page</a>.
 Participants do not need to have experience with any other particular 
technologies. Participants do need access to a computer with internet, 
and they will be expected to block off time to devote to the hands-on 
nature of this workshop.<br><br><div><b>Please register via <a href="https://fsu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUocOirrTgvH9MsGARrXnqcvId0WTRCY0_X" target="_blank">this Zoom link </a>by September 26th, 2022. </b>We expect to cap registration at 30 participants. Questions can be directed towards Erica Krimmel (<a href="mailto:ekrimmel@fsu.edu" target="_blank">ekrimmel@fsu.edu</a>) or the <i>#wikidata</i> channel of the <a href="https://join.slack.com/t/paleo-data/shared_invite/zt-wtdqsnid-6Xe6cja4YuzFqmzIKfKzHw" target="_blank">Paleo Data Slack Workspace</a>. This workshop is being organized by the Paleo Data Working Group.</div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-family:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;vertical-align:baseline;color:inherit"><i>Erica Krimmel</i></span></div><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-family:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;vertical-align:baseline;color:inherit">Digitization Resources Coordinator</span></div><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;color:inherit"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;color:inherit"><a href="https://www.idigbio.org/" title="https://www.idigbio.org/" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline" target="_blank">Integrated Digitized Biocollections</a> (iDigBio)</span></span></div><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;color:inherit"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;color:inherit">Florida State University</span></span></div><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;color:inherit"><a href="mailto:ekrimmel@fsu.edu" target="_blank">ekrimmel@fsu.edu</a></span></div><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(0,0,0)">(619) 876-3794</div><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="font-size:10pt"><a href="https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3192-0080" title="https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3192-0080" target="_blank">ORCID 0000-0003-3192-0080</a></span></div></div>
