|What are the current and best data management practices for collections? This three-day workshop is co-sponsored by Arizona State University (ASU) and iDigBio and hosted by ASU. It offers hands-on training and focuses on data management skills needed for taking care of the digital collection in a natural history museum. What are best practices for getting field data into databases? How do you encourage and support born-digital data? Is your data formatted with up-to-date data quality standards in mind from start to use / re-use? | | valign="top"|What are the current and best data management practices for collections?

|iDigBio is the national resource for digitized information about existing, vouchered natural history collections. We will explore the benefits to ecologists in using specimen data that span centuries, continents and taxa. The tools and resources to work with these data are widely available and will be explored in this session. | |valign="top"| iDigBio is the national resource for digitized information about existing, vouchered natural history collections.

|[http://idigbio.org iDigBio] has ingested more than 25 million specimens and 4 million media objects from biodiversity collections with world-wide range. This great resource of biodiversity information has been made accessible not only through the iDigBio portal, but also through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that applications written in any programming language can consume since 2013 to (a) access specimens, media, media metadata, datasets and publishers information, (b) perform searches, and (c) ingest media and its metadata. Currently, this great resource is mainly used by the iDigBio portal and iDigBio developed applications. The goals of this hackathon are to: lower the entrance barrier to potential direct uses of the API by disseminating more broadly its capabilities and generating a body of use-case examples that can be reused by others, identify new opportunities for integration with other cyberinfrastructures, and develop collaborative pilot experiments that build on existing interoperability of other cyberinfrastructures. | |valign="top"| [http://idigbio.org iDigBio] has ingested more than 25 million specimens and 4 million media objects from biodiversity collections with world-wide range.

|Novel field-collecting methods providing richer specimen data, maturing transcription and imaging techniques, and up-dated end-user interfaces are resulting in greater access to and use of specimen data for a variety of purposes. This has led to increasing use of museum specimen data for analysis and the development of visualization tools that facilitate research and support educational needs and outreach opportunities. We're highlighting talks by students, and focusing on collecting practices that result in faster access to high quality data, sharing improved digitization methods, and finding out how the specimen data is being used in current research. | |Novel field-collecting methods providing richer specimen data, maturing transcription and imaging techniques, and up-dated end-user interfaces are resulting in greater access to and use of specimen data for a variety of purposes.

|iDigBio, the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, Bishop Museum, and University of Michigan Museum of Zoology are pleased to offer a 3-day workshop focused on the digitization of vertebrate collections, to include the value of live audio and video phenotypic recordings, media metadata standards, media recording techniques (including equipment setup, configuration, and use), methods for linking media to physical specimens, media metadata standards, the value of specimen still images, issues in launching a digitization program, digitization workflows, and digital asset management and archiving. | |valign="top"| iDigBio, the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, Bishop Museum, and University of Michigan Museum of Zoology are pleased to offer a 3-day workshop focused on the digitization of vertebrate collections, to include the value of live audio and video phenotypic recordings, media metadata standards, media recording techniques (including equipment setup, configuration, and use), methods for linking media to physical specimens, media metadata standards, the value of specimen still images, issues in launching a digitization program, digitization workflows, and digital asset management and archiving. | ||

|What are the leading-edge collecting practices across disciplines? This 4-day workshop offers hands-on collecting in-the-field with invited subject-matter experts from ecology, botany, ornithology, paleontology, marine invertebrates, and entomology sharing their leading-edge practices. We'll head back to the classroom to see how field data is transformed to be suitable for research use. Course includes discussion and hands-on learning for creation of data born-digital and formatted with up-to-date data quality standards in mind from start to use / re-use. | |valign="top"| What are the leading-edge collecting practices across disciplines?
