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

Looking forward to seeing you there!,
