M04 - GBIF.org and Access to Data
Experts who are working with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and the Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) will discuss the latest on the development of a common conceptual foundation for biodiversity data quality (DQ). Practical aspects, including the identification of DQ requirements for species distribution modeling and for agrobiodiversity, and the development of a catalog of DQ tools and services will also be discussed. It is an excellent opportunity for researchers and students those involved with biodiversity data to learn about the latest findings of the group and to get involved.
