[Nhcoll-l] You're Invited! to Working Sessions for Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG)

[Deborah Paul]

Greetings SPNHC Peeps!

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!

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.

Where: Working Sessions for the Interest and Task Groups from TDWG.

When: Wednesdays and Thursdays in November, see
TDWG 2021 November Working Sessions Schedule

data -- thanks!
