<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Rachel Stroud’s talk at the Refloating the Ark conference outlined the National Biodiversity Network ‘Inventory of Undigitised Datasets’.

want further information.</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We are looking to build an inventory of undigitised datasets (recording cards, notebooks, museum specimens, field maps etc) such that we can create a case for
large scale investment in this area here in the UK and support you to digitise these data. We would love to hear from you as to what data you may have in undigitised formats. Particularly if you have data from <b><u>Scotland</u></b> do get in touch with
me as soon as you can as we may have the opportunity of some funding for mobilising priority Scottish datasets this summer and it would be great to put these forward.</span></i><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">In addition, a couple of people were keen to see the demo site for the UK Wildlife Portal which can be found here - <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__ala-2Ddemo.gbif.org_&d=AwMFAw&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=W_HXllDX2URtNB5UDwNiM_zb_WoCIQXhEKwxM6IMjig&s=sa8x3lmoiie-Tr-ciEzt8RN9ocdsXgSwqnEhflyHCb0&e=" target="_blank">http://ala-demo.gbif.org/</a> It
is important to note that this is a demo site, with a subset of the UK data held in GBIF so there may be some data gaps within etc, however, it does start to give an idea of where the NBN's data infrastructure could move to in the next year. We have secured
funding to create a pilot site in Scotland which will be live in September 2015. We are looking for people how may wish to share their Scottish data via this new, innovative platform and again, we would love to hear from you if you would like to get involved
in this project. </span></i><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

actions take your fancy, or there are areas you are already working on then please do get in touch. </span></i><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
