** '''Title''': Preliminary Results on Survey about Reuse of Species Occurrence Data and Use of Web-based Information Systems by Professionals | ** '''Title''': Preliminary Results on Survey about Reuse of Species Occurrence Data and Use of Web-based Information Systems by Professionals | ||
::'''Abstract''': Understanding how academic and non-academic professionals conducting scientific research or working on natural resource activities use species occurrence data and Web-based information systems that provide such data is a prerequisite for assessing the effectiveness of Web-based biodiversity information systems in general. As part of my doctoral research project, I conducted an online survey of academic and non-academic professionals in the United States during spring/summer 2017 to gather baseline data and information on how scientists and natural resource professionals reuse species occurrence data and use Web-based species occurrence information systems in their work. Preliminary results from this survey will be presented at the workshop. | ::'''Abstract''': Understanding how academic and non-academic professionals conducting scientific research or working on natural resource activities use species occurrence data and Web-based information systems that provide such data is a prerequisite for assessing the effectiveness of Web-based biodiversity information systems in general.

== Some of our workshop goals == | |||
* Formalize review and development steps for our 5-year plan | |||
* Construct a plan (with deadlines) to finish Use Case Review | |||
** Which ecology groups and conservation projects can effectively use existing natural science collections data? which cannot? which could if there were changes (what changes)? | |||
* Gather feedback on where ecologists look for data | |||
** Formalize steps to insure we are advertising our data in those places | |||
* Gather what we learn from breakout discussions following session talks | |||
** Synthesize next steps | |||
** How will we disseminate what we synthesize? (Post here on Wiki, for example) | |||
