This wiki supports the Data Sharing, Data Standards and Demystifying the IPT Workshop to be held simultaneously at the University of Florida at iDigBio and at the Canadian Biodiversity Information Facility (CBIF) on 13-14 January 2015. It is the second in a series of four biodiversity informatics workshops planned in the fiscal year (2014-2015). The first one was Data Carpentry.

General Information

Description of Workshop

Overview

The concepts, skills, and tools we need to share biodiversity occurrence data and related data such as genomics, and media. Datasets will be taken from organismal and evolutionary biology, biodiversity science, ecology, and environmental science.

The workshop format includes lectures and hands-on work, so participants are required to bring their own laptops. We will provide information and instructions on software installations and a pre-workshop online meeting required for those participants wishing to install the IPT software on their own laptop.

Updates will be posted to this website as they become available.

Software Installation Requirements and additional information is available at this (web site) for the installation of a local IPT (on your laptop).

Assistants (CBIF):

Who: Regardless of title, if you manage data for biological specimens collections, perhaps as Data Manager or Collection Manager, this workshop is for you if you have a dataset, and want to learn about data sharing and standards, and how to share data using the DwC-A format the IPT tool produces. If you are a taxonomist and would like to publish your specimen data in a DwC-A format with your taxonomic publications, you're also welcome to apply.

Skill Level: While we don't expect experts, we do expect computer skills commensurate with a Data Manager / Collection Manager.

Where: iDigBio in Gainesville, FL and (CBIF in Ottawa, ON, Canada via teleconference using Adobe Connect)

Requirements: Participants must bring a laptop.

Contact (iDigBio Participants): Please email Deb Paul dpaul@fsu.edu for questions and information not covered here.

Contact (CBIF, Ottawa Participants): Please email James Macklin
