This session is intended to elicit information for a stakeholder vision of how to maximize the value of biodiversity collections data for collections management, research, and education in the future. BCoN is coordinating the development of this vision in response to requests from NSF and others to inform the development of a new funding program to succeed NSF’s current ADBC program.
This session is intended to elicit information for a stakeholder vision of how to maximize the value of biodiversity collections data for collections management, research, and education in the future. BCoN is coordinating the development of this vision in response to requests from NSF and others to inform the development of a new funding program to succeed NSF’s current ADBC program. The Biodiversity Collections Network (BCoN) wants your very specific and succinct contributions to a wish list of future activities or functions for collections and data, and recommendations on how to achieve them.  You will be provided a hard copy of a few questions upon check-in. Please bring your completed form to the session and share your responses!  You will be asked to hand in your form at the end of the session. Alternatively, record your responses digitally using this Google Form: https://goo.gl/forms/SsbyuP75ZuKSL4av2

The primary purpose of the meeting is to discuss how existing species interaction datasets are structured and how to increase our ability to generate aggregate datasets and examine networks of interactions. The ADBC program has promoted the mobilization of tens of millions of specimen-level data in natural history collections in the United States and many of these datasets contain rich species interaction data. During the first meeting Jorrit Poelen (Global Biotic Interactions, GloBI) and Katja Seltmann (UC Santa Barbara, Parasite Tracker) will present a recent Vampire Moth (Calyptra) interaction data use case, setting the stage for open discussion that will likely carry through the second meeting. We encourage participants to submit interaction datasets before the meeting so that they can be discussed as use cases. You can describe, point to, or share, your datasets by opening a new issue via https://tinyurl.com/shareInteractionData .  You can also see how GitHub issues are used to openly discuss how to share specific existing biotic association datasets.

Keeping administrators abreast of your collection’s activities and its importance to your institution’s mission is critical to ensuring long-term support and positive internal relations. Knowing which metrics count and how best to express them as well as how to open and maintain avenues for positive communications with the administrative team is essential. This session will begin with brief opening remarks before transitioning into open discussion and sharing of successful techniques and strategies. We are pleased that Barbara Thiers and Bruce MacFadden, both with deep experience working with administrators at several levels, have agreed to join us as co-moderators.

Quality data is essential as a foundation for analytical, synthetic, and AI research. Anyone providing data to an aggregator or downloading data from an aggregator can make use of the data quality feedback offered. If you use this information, we would like to hear about how you use it (or not) and ways in which all of us can work on improving data quality (dq). From researcher, policy maker, graduate student, collection manager, curator, educator, and museum director, we all have a role to play. We also plan to share some of what we learned from a recent survey and symposium at SPNHC-TDWGNZ -- on this topic. And, we'll share some ideas for possible future changes to dq feedback from iDigBio as well as recent progress from the TDWG Data Quality Interest Group and iDigBio implementation plans.

Harnessing Natural History Collections Data for Addressing National Challenges

Session Notes
This session is intended to elicit information for a stakeholder vision of how to maximize the value of biodiversity collections data for collections management, research, and education in the future. BCoN is coordinating the development of this vision in response to requests from NSF and others to inform the development of a new funding program to succeed NSF’s current ADBC program. The Biodiversity Collections Network (BCoN) wants your very specific and succinct contributions to a wish list of future activities or functions for collections and data, and recommendations on how to achieve them. You will be provided a hard copy of a few questions upon check-in. Please bring your completed form to the session and share your responses! You will be asked to hand in your form at the end of the session. Alternatively, record your responses digitally using this Google Form: https://goo.gl/forms/SsbyuP75ZuKSL4av2

Session Notes
The primary purpose of the meeting is to discuss how existing species interaction datasets are structured and how to increase our ability to generate aggregate datasets and examine networks of interactions. The ADBC program has promoted the mobilization of tens of millions of specimen-level data in natural history collections in the United States and many of these datasets contain rich species interaction data. During the first meeting Jorrit Poelen (Global Biotic Interactions, GloBI) and Katja Seltmann (UC Santa Barbara, Parasite Tracker) will present a recent Vampire Moth (Calyptra) interaction data use case, setting the stage for open discussion that will likely carry through the second meeting. We encourage participants to submit interaction datasets before the meeting so that they can be discussed as use cases. You can describe, point to, or share, your datasets by opening a new issue via https://tinyurl.com/shareInteractionData . You can also see how GitHub issues are used to openly discuss how to share specific existing biotic association datasets.

If you use this information, we would like to hear about how you use it (or not) and ways in which all of us can work on improving data quality (dq). From researcher, policy maker, graduate student, collection manager, curator, educator, and museum director, we all have a role to play. We also plan to share some of what we learned from a recent survey and symposium at SPNHC-TDWGNZ -- on this topic. And, we'll share some ideas for possible future changes to dq feedback from iDigBio as well as recent progress from the TDWG Data Quality Interest Group and iDigBio implementation plans.

Challenges in Research Use of DataBruce Lieberman, Matt Collins & Pam Soltis

Session Notes
We now have millions of digitized specimen records available for use in research, education, and other applications. Yet researchers face many challenges as they attempt to use these data. In this session, we will discuss ongoing challenges of data completeness, data quality, and fitness for use and possible solutions. We will also explore novel data types extracted from digitized specimen records – whether text or images – and consider community needs for effective use of these data in research.
