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 biodiversity informatics workshops planned in the fiscal year (2014-2015). The first one was Data Carpentry.

General Information

Description and Overview of Workshop. Are you a taxonomist collecting biological specimens in your research and vouchering them in collections? How does your specimen data get published? How does it get into collections databases? Are you a collection manager or data manager who would like to use the GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit v.2 (IPT) to publish your collection's datasets?

This workshop is for you if you:

  • have a dataset and need/want to get it into a standard format for sharing
  • manage data for a museum collection and would like to learn how to use the GBIF IPT
  • want to understand more about Darwin Core and Data Sharing Standards
  • would like to understand just what is meant by "Darwin Core Archive file (DwC-A)"
  • want to learn how to create or update Darwin Core Archive files using the IPT
  • would like to understand just a bit more about where data goes and how it gets there once it leaves your collection
  • are a taxonomist with an occurrence dataset who would like publish your dataset as a DwC-A with your related taxonomic publication

We'll discuss and focus on 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 is required for those participants wishing to install the IPT software on their own laptop.

Note this workshop does not focus on Installation and set up of an IPT instance, rather on the use of the installed software for data sharing and data publishing. There's a pre-workshop webinar that is going to cover an Overview of the Considerations and Steps for IPT Install and Set up on 7 January 2015 from 12 noon to 2 PM EST.

To Do For You: We encourage people attending this webinar to submit questions prior to the event so we can be prepared to answer some of them ahead of time. Note: this is not an installation demonstration. We do plan to have an installation video available to provide one example, one use case, for seeing a sample (typical) installation process.

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

Pre-Workshop WEBINAR on IPT Install / Set up

Those interested in knowing more about the installation and configuration of the IPT will have an opportunity to be introduced to the topic during this 2-hour webinar. The event is open for anyone interested so feel free to share the information with others. The official announcement and webinar link is available here.

The webinar will be held on Jan 7th, 2015. NOON to 2 PM EST, through the iDigBio Adobe Connect Platform.

GBIF IPT Install and Set up Webinar

Planning Team

Collaboratively brought to you by: (in alphabetical order) Reed Beaman (NSF), Cathy Bester (iDigBio),Kyle Braak (GBIF), Matt Collins (ACIS - iDigBio), Shari Ellis (iDigBio), Alberto González-Talaván (GBIF), Chris Lewis (CBIF), Anissa Lybaert (CBIF), Kevin Love (iDigBio), James Macklin (CBIF), Derek Masaki (USGS - BISON), Andrea Matsunaga (ACIS - iDigBio), Joanna McCaffrey (iDigBio), Deborah Paul (FSU - iDigBio), Bénédicte Rivière (Canadensys), Laura Russell (VertNet), David Shorthouse (Canadensys), Dan Stoner (ACIS - iDigBio), Alex Thompson (ACIS - iDigBio)

About

Instructors (iDigBio): Laura Russell (VertNet), Derek Masaki (USGS), Alberto González-Talaván (GBIF)

Instructors (CBIF/Canadensys): David Shorthouse (Canadensys), James Macklin (CBIF)

Assistants (iDigBio): Andrea Matsunaga (ACIS - iDigBio), Joanna McCaffrey (iDigBio), Dan Stoner (ACIS - iDigBio), Deborah Paul (FSU - iDigBio), Matt Collins (iDigBio)

Assistants (CBIF/Canadensys): Christian Gendreau (Canadensys), Heather Cole (CBIF), Chris Lewis (CBIF), Anissa Lybaert (CBIF), Joel Sachs (CBIF), Allan Jones (CBIF), Glen Newton (CBIF), Satpal Bilkhu (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 james.macklin@agr.gc.ca

Tuition for the course is free, but there is an application process and spots are limited. Currently, the workshop is full.

Software Installation Details

A laptop and a web browser are required for participants. Individualized IPTs will be installed on networked servers and made available to all participants throughout the duration of the workshop. These installations will not be publicly accessible and will not persist at the completion of the workshop. We use Adobe Connect extensively in this workshop. Please perform the systems test using the link below. Also, you will also need to install the Adobe Connect Add-In to participate in the workshop.

  • Adobe Connect Systems Test
  • Note when you follow the link to install and perform the test, some software will install (but it doesn't look like anything happens). To check, simply re-run the test.

If enterprising participants would like to install the IPT on a laptop prior to the workshop, a script is available to help streamline the necessary steps in a virtual machine. It requires a pre-existing install and experience with VirtualBox (or libvrt) and Git.

The pre-workshop Webinar focuses on Install and set up of IPT on a server.
