What: Steps in the Data Life Cycle for Improving Data Quality: from the aggregator and provider point-of-view.
iDigBio IT staff, Alex Thompson and Matt Collins introduce us to recordset data cleaning at iDigBio. What methods and tools are they using? What kinds of data issues are they finding? How can data providers get access to this data, these "data flags"? How do data providers use this data to enhance and improve the data in their local databases? How does iDigBio get the updated data? What does this mean for someone searching the database at iDigBio? For answers to these questions, and more, save the date: October 23rd, 2015, 2 PM EST.
