Activity

I highly recommend the following, particularly for those who are involved in iDigBio and large database research. (I plan to be there as well).

The Paleo Data and Digitization Working Group’s next webinar is next week, 16 Feb 3:00-4:00 p.m. at https://idigbio.adobeconnect.com/paleo.

Topic: Digital Data Management for Paleobiology: Data standards and best practices for fossil data
Leader: Denné Reed, Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Texas at Austin

This webinar will discuss the background of TDWG, standards, and general goals of digital data management as relates to paleontological data. It will also delve into examples of specific issues of using Darwin Core for Paleobiology and work that is being done to define best practices as a solution to these issues.
