After the workshop, we will encourage our participants to share use cases, any training materials developed, and to offer workshops, webinars, talks, or other events aimed at increasing use of best practices for georeferencing legacy locality data, best practices for capturing the locality data from future biological and paleontological collecting and sampling events, and best practices for using the data in research. | After the workshop, we will encourage our participants to share use cases, any training materials developed, and to offer workshops, webinars, talks, or other events aimed at increasing use of best practices for georeferencing legacy locality data, best practices for capturing the locality data from future biological and paleontological collecting and sampling events, and best practices for using the data in research. | ||

== Goals of the Workshop: == | == Goals of the Workshop: == | ||
*Best practices for researchers for in-the-field creating of new locality data and legacy data georeferencing. | |||
**Tools (hardware and software) and standards (what to document, datum etc.). | |||
**How to re-patriate data and/or best practices for putting data into data repository if can’t be repatriated (what the obstacles are and minimization of data loss). | |||
*How to evaluate already georeferenced data. Current tools for visualization and evaluation. | |||
**Metrics to look for | |||
**Current tools for georeferencing | |||
**Online tools | |||
**R | |||
**QGIS | |||
*Researchers give input on the challenges for georeferencing, using existing georeferences. | |||
*Workflow review for some research review of using georeferenced data (Katja, Shelley, ...) | |||
Ultimate goal: Participant can point to aspects they have learned (tool, standard etc.) during the workshop and can indicate how they will use those aspects for their research goal/purpose (present or future). | |||
